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

I hear ya. I own an Alfa Romeo and an old school Ducati. I know the story line all too well with the exotic.

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

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
