hi -

Pulled off my CAS to diagnose a no start problem and discovered a half broken splined shaft in it. I tried spinning the CAS shaft by hand but it seems siezed hence why it broke the spline.

I had a look with the torch inside the exhaust cam where the CAS goes and noticed the other side of the broken spline shaft. I tried picking the broken piece with a pick tool but it wont budge.Not sure if it can.

Could someone pls explain if that splined shaft is part of the Camshaft? Cause it doesnt appear part of the CAS. how do i replace it ?

I hate to cough up on a new cam.

cheers

Looking into the exhaust camshaft. You can see the broken bit.

first pic is the birds eye view into the CAS. You can see the broken half moon bit inside.The broken spline shaft piece which came out of the CAS

..The biopsy. A lot of red dust from the seized bottom, bearing after finally turning it using the vise.

Looks like you've broken the spline off the cam. The CAS spline is supposed to be female with a half moon that matches up with the male spline and half moon on the cam

cheers. So that means a new camshaft?

ps: I've posted a Wanted ad in the Forsale section for anyone that has a R32 - RB20DE camshaft and CAS. pm me if anyone can help.

Or if anyone knows where i can pick it up in melbourne.

might be a good oportunity to swap out the motor for something better, if you cant do the labour yourself then you are up for a fair few $$$

I'll be doing the labor myself unfortunately. Otherwise yeah i would consider a swapout.

I have a pair of standard RB20DET cams, which are a slight upgrade over DE, and a CAS if you need.

as long as i dont have to pissfart around with the valve clearances and electronics, timings etc...

Because they both use Hydraulic lifters there is no adjustment for the valve clearances and because the spline/drive on the exhaust cam is the same the CAS are the same.

The DET cams run eight degrees more duration on the inlet and .5mm more lift on the inlet. The exhaust cam specs are the same as the DE.

you will have to pissfart around with camshaft timing and retension the timing belt-you are doing all this with the motor out?

I guess i was trying to say I need a drop in fit. Putting something non stock for the engine gets me concerned a little with having to mess with other stuff.

This is my friends car and she is on a limited budget. Trying to do it as good and inexpensive as possible.

fair enough, i see where you are at, remember when it comes to cars (especially skylines) "good" and "inexpensive" are mutually exclusive terms

You don't need the keyway in the cam I ran without for 3 years 400+hp no problem. They just need to be lined up in the right spot again

not sure I understand this. I believe im missing more than the keyway in the cam.

check my first two pics

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT?

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
