Hi Guys,

I have just purchased a set of Tomei camshaft from Greenline for my R33 96 series 2 Skyline. The problem that I have is the Tomei exhaust cam crank angle sensor connection is different to the factory ex cam. I tried contacting Greenline to say that maybe they have send me the wrong ex cam but they said that's the exhaust cam for the series 2. As stated in the Tomei web Catalog for the R33, the series 2 model have a different crank angle sensor to a series 1. Is this right? The Ex cam part no. i have now is "EX 1426256085" stated for a series 2 but I think that one i need for my car is "EX 1412256085" for the series 1. Maybe, some of you are saying my skyline might of have a series 1 engine. But I just checked with a mate's series 2 skyline and the crank angle senor is the same as my ( fitting to the front of the ex cam). I am a bit lost, so can any you help me out here? below is the link for the camshaft.

thanks,

NisJet

It says on the Tomei web catalog:

ECR33: 1st;1993.8 - 2nd;1997.9 - (changed crank angle sensor)

So it seems that the crank angle sensor wasn't changed with the introduction of the Series 2 (1996), it was changed in September of 1997 onwards.

There were very few R33 GTS-ts produced from 1997.9 onwards, so chances are that your Series 2 was produced before that date. In which case, you probably should have gotten exhaust camshaft with part number "1412256085", and not "1426256085" which you currently have in your possession.

Is the drive in the new cam an offset slot?And your original cam is toothed drive?If it is then you can modify the crank sensor.....i done it on my RB26(i put 33 cams in with a 34 sensor)...its a bit tricky tho....

Thanks for the reply guys. Merli you are 100% right and they have send me the wrong ex cam. I tried telling Greenline (Jason Lee) that they have done a mistake but the only reply I had was " you specificed the car to a be series 2 and that's what we send you." Anyway, there's only two solution to this now; 1. send the ex cam back the Greenline for exchange to the right one. or 2. try getting my hand on a late series 2 crank angle senor. Ylwgtr2 you are right; the new cam do have a offset slot and the original is toothed drive.

well heres what you do......if the cam is non returnable and you cant get a 34 sensor(and you will need the loom section coz its a diffrent plug connector) ,you put your engine at TDC(with the old cam and sensor in)Mark the disc on the sensor and the housing with a permanant marker take it off and knock the pin out off the locator and remove the end peice....then machine up a collar that fits in the new cam and file the slots in it...then fit the new cam in put it back to TDC and align the marks on the Sensor and disc.Fit the machined up collar in the cam and put a touch of super glue on the shaft of the sensor put it in and align the marks you put on the disc and the housing and wait for the glue to take affect.....then carefully remove the sensor and put a sribe on the shaft and machined up collar.....knock off the collar and drill your dowl pin hole in the machined up collar to match up the one on the shaft and your away!Its a bit elaborate and i have to do it a number of times.....takes about 30 mins or so...

hope that makes some sort of sence

Ylwgtr2,

do you or any others know if the Power FC for the R33 will run an R34 CAS? I think I can get one.

Joel,

I already told Jason that all 96 series 2 to pre 97/9 series 2 dont have the different CAS. I think he knows that but they dont want to admit it. Anyway, I told him, i am happen to pay for the shipping cost for sending the new to me and the wrong cam back. And still waiting for his reply. At the end of the day either way (buy a new CAS, modding or exchanging the cam, it's going to cost me money but i want to do it the easiest and cheapest option).

hah nisjet,

i feel for you as i just been through the same problem with my r33 gtr i bought tomei 260deg 9,15mm lift and got r34 cams ,lucky for me brent at nengun had no problem doing the right thing and spent me a replacement ex cam no charge to me just had to wait awhile for it. Its worth getting the adjustable cam wheels and taking the time to set them up as i got hugh gains from doing so check thread on tuning for mid range torque.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
