Hey guys i seem to have run into a little bit of a problem whilst removing and installing my intake cam gear on my RB25DET. I read in the workshop manual that there is a "Shamfered Washer" between the bolt that secures the cam gear and cam gear. When i removed the cam gear there wasnt a washer in sight.

Can anybody tell me how this washer looks and what size it is? also am i able to put in any washer that is of the same/equiv size to the factory one.

Cheers.

Yeah it should go something like this:

Cam gear, washer, bolt, spring, VCT cover

I would buy one from Nissan because it isn't a standard size washer. I would say it needs a set load on the spring for the VCT to work properly so if you use a washer that is to small the VCT will not work properly

Makes sense. Because a pulled it apart to install the hks cams and upon reassembly I noticed there was something missing and not in my parts tray. Looks like the previous workshop made a right ass of themselves.

Also... what sort of torque setting does the bolt require?

oh yeah, don't be a tool like me and rattle gun it on.. I got my VCT cam gear stuck for a while and the VCT switching wasn't working.. after a few days it started working again..

yes yes, laugh at me.

Yeah nah a torque wrench is by my side at all times when it comes to shit like this. Rattle gun for everything else.

Not very surprised with the workshop who left the washer out. I seem to be finding shortcuts the deeper I go.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
