Hi all.

I recently had my crank angle sensor out for sum head repairs and make a mistake of jaming the CAS and breaking the guide bit that makes sure it goes back in the right spot.

My question is were is the bit located?? on the CAS or the cam itself?? We had to keep pulling of the CAS and spin it until the car ran so i could get it home.

Thanks in advance :P:D:D:D

This is a real pain in the ass. Theres a guide on the camshaft and the ignition unit. My cas was not mounted completely square and this broke off the CAS key. U are reable to mount it but u must get it completely right. Turn the engine over until u can get the marks on the cam to line up 0 and 180 degrees. then with the ignition unit line it up the opposite. make sure u get it as close as possible. DO NOT twist or turn at all until it slides all the way on. By factory settings the whole unit should sit at 15 degrees.

Thanks for the reply

So does that mean if car is at 15 degrees it means all is good?? According to FC car idles at about 15-17 degrees. I cant check with a timing light as I have no lower timing belt cover to go off :(

Also car occasionally makes a loud pop when I shut it off, Ocasionally it wont rev unless i change timing on hand controller. (i once had to take 12 degrees out to get it to run) and sometimes it runs fine.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
