Shades Rs Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Hi all I've been searching everywhere for the 2 VCT sensors on the top front of the engine just below engine cover. Both these are damaged on mine so ideally looking for anyone who has spares or a duff engine lying around. I've been in touch with Clark Motorsport and ZMANALEX but no joy. I've heard of the ZedShed on here can anyone point me in the right direction on here. Many thanks, appreciate any help. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I think we may have the green available as a used item... Quote
GMballistic Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 May be worth trying R35LEE if you haven't already. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63996-2004-350z-breaking-all-parts/ Quote
Keyser Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I'm afraid we at the Zed Shed have no spares for your engine if it was a DE we have loads Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks guys still looking :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Nissan will only supply them with the complete VCT unit Dan, so around £800 + VAT each! Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Pretty shocking really as they simply unbolt from the units Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Well there goes my chances of picking up a cheaper set lol.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Famous last words from Clark Motorsport this afternoon: After checking with Nissan unbelievably they will not sell the sensors on their own they only supply the complete VCT units complete they are circa £850 each + VAT I would try a wanted ad on the forum, its VCT sensors from a DE Rev Up you are looking for, I wouldn't mention the cost of the units new though might cause people to inflate the price This has just made me lol..

Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Opps sorry should have taken my own advice there sorry mate Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Let's delete post and start again haha.. I'm starting to give up hope already! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Sensors have been sourced, thanks for your help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Good news ~ hope they didn't cost you too much. Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Pre-owned £66 delivered, although after payment was made I had an email through from a company saying they could supply them for £90 delivered. So Good for future reference if any members need any as I started to panic in the end. Just hope they turn up now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
GMballistic Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Doesn't sound too bad ~ definitely better than what Nissan would have charged you. Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 I'm chuffed with that to be honest, I was contemplating on buying a rev up engine, removing sensors and selling on. But luckily got there in the end Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 Just found out that these aren't actual sensors but just plastic connectors on rubber "o" rings. Was hoping to have them today but they haven't been despatched as yet :-( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) The expensive bits of plastic have arrived, so chuffed to say the least! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 19, 2014 by Shades Rs Quote
GMballistic Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 ^^ Glad they got to you ok. Hope they work for you. 1 Quote
Shades Rs Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Yes all up and running, engine sounding as sweet as ever! Happy days Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
