take your cover off and have a look if the bearing looks to have corrosion just piss it off if it looks lubricated then leave it

CSL-FLY · 08-10-10, 09:37

hey guys i recently replaced my CAS but i used the small chrome disc from the other car that i got the CAS out of should i have used my disc not the one from the other car??? i went to get it tuned today and he said the spark is really erratic im thinking this could be the cause and if it is what do i do now?

CSL-FLY · 08-10-10, 13:07

autobarn want like 115 for just the CAS itself...

rare spares/auto 1 in roxburgh park have nothing in stock..

my sister is picking a whole kit up for me from bursons heidelberg for around $145

just a guide for anyone in the nth subs

if the discs are the same don't worry about it, the irradic spark can be from a list of things

its a poor discription because irradic spark can come from anything leads, cas, dizzy, button, timing, heat, ecu, interference, wiring list is endless

auto1 broadmeadows mate home of the vl turbo, i also got one from niddrie auto 1

ANDDDDDDD make sure its for an RB30 the rb series look similar but they aren't

any other queries?

vlwagz · 08-10-10, 19:59

ah right well we figured it was that because it only started happening after the old cas died and i replaced it with a second hand one. ill be putting a brand new one in on monday and seeing how it goes.

Anfyz · 15-08-12, 18:59

THREAD BUMP! used this today and it worked a treat thanks alot!! although I did it the hard way and had to re-time it myself, but I managed it!! coming from someone whos never had the guts or tools (til now) to go near the engine bay lol! cheers

doctordan · 04-10-12, 20:14

Where did the pictures go? Or is my browser playing up?

Bro_Speed · 11-10-12, 15:50

I just rebuilt mine. I used a fuel miser CAS, changed the plug and contacts. Really when doing this you need to cahnge the oil seal that sits under the bearing, the bearing itself and install a rubber O ring between the distribuitor housing and cap so you dont have the wet dizzy problem again. Ill do this for $200 exchange, PM if intrested.

vinny mac · 19-05-13, 17:54

Anyone had any problems with that silver disk? I pulled mine out today and it's all chewed out and warped, I think that why car is running like a bag if s^*+

Wkd_Vl · 25-05-13, 18:04

i wonder if that disk can be bought new ???

Antho · 13-07-13, 20:30

I would strongly recommend to replace the bearing as well its a little more labour but for a $5 part it could save your new CAS failing, when the bearing gets rusty the fine dust can **** the sensor

Geniee · 02-12-13, 08:45

I was having rough idle issues with mine.
Pulled CAS apart (using this guide)
Used contact cleaner on everything, pry'd the little cas/sensor piece out a little sprayed the $%^& out of it,
Sprayed all over the little disk, put it all back together
lightly sanded/cleaned the contact points on the rotor button
re-installed
runs like a dream.

Checked ECU diags. and no codes for this are appearing, and was able to get the tune (red/green lights - flashing in sync) by following the other guide on tuning (AFM anti-clockwise screw to richen it up)

I was willing to replace the cas, but thought it would be worth a shot at cleaning it first

Gabybh · 08-12-13, 14:58

my cars not kicking over. it wants to start but its like it isnt getting any spark. do you reckon it can be the cas or what ?
