Hi all, so I'v done a rb20de+t neo conversion in my r33, if opted with the rb25de loom 25de intake, with a rb25de cas, it was going 1 day, I ran outr gas the next now it will crank over but wont start,, I have spark and fuel, maybe thinking my cam angle sensor is dead,,, I'm in the middle of sourcing a new 1 but was told a normal rb25de cas can not work on a neo engine,,, help help bit stuck. Thanks for your time to read and maybe help a brother out.....

You'll need a CAS that suits the exhaust cam as the spline on the exhaust cam is different on the neo compared to a S1 or S2 rb25. If you're using the rb25de loom/ecu you'll then need to flip the two end wires of the CAS plug. I assume you would have already done this if the car has been running?

What made you think the CAS died?

Just to be clear have you had this car driving properly or did the engine just fire once then die? You have the right ECU? You have fuel but is it enough - have you checked the pressure? You ran out of gas is there dirt in the system? Have you taken the CAS off to see if it spins freely?

Yes I'm using a rb25det manual ecu, yes cas spins freely,,, I'm assuming theres enough gas getting thru, iv had it runing for months then suddenly ran outr gas and hasnt start since, engine turns over fine,,, just the 1 day I put my drive shaft and and manual conversion in and wont blaaaardy start,

OK so have you had it running in manual mode? You have shorted out the fuses under the battery (to disable the lock out that stops it starting in anything but P and N)?

I was low on gas (I no dumb) and was working on my car had it running and cut out,,  but what's your thoughts?? All thoughts on this is more than welcome thanks,

i get the feeling there are more things going on that we dont know about. the likelihood of the cas failing at the same time as the "running out of fuel" incident doesnt make sense.

both above posts are quite relevent

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
