Name: Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensor Set of 3 to suit Nissan 350Z Z33 Skyline V35 VQ35
Brand: Aftermarket OEM Replacement
SKU: CSCA-350Z-SET3
Price: 199.97 AUD
Availability: InStock

BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* set of 3 - both camshaft position sensors plus the crankshaft sensor - to suit the Nissan VQ V6 range.

This is the whole timing sensor circuit in one box, so a car that has been chasing intermittent codes for months gets sorted in a single job. Dispatched same-day from Melbourne before 12pm.

TO SUIT

Suits the VQ V6 platforms that run two cam sensors and a rear crank sensor - the 350Z Z33 coupe and roadster the Skyline V35 in CPV35 PV35 and NV35 form the Stagea PM35 PNM35 and NM35 Turbo the Elgrand ME51 MNE51 and NE51 the Murano Z50 and the Maxima J32.

FITMENT CHECK

The crank sensor supplied in this set is 23731-AL60C which is the correct unit for the VQ25 VQ30 and VQ35 engines. Note that 23731-EA20C is a different crankshaft sensor built for the 4.0L VQ40 in the Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 - it does not fit the vehicles listed here.

The two cam sensors are different parts - one right hand exhaust side and one left hand. The crank sensor mounts at the rear of the block behind the bellhousing and is a separate job to the two at the heads. The Maxima J31 PJ31 is NOT covered by this set.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

3 x sensors - 1 x right hand exhaust side cam sensor 1 x left hand cam sensor and 1 x rear crankshaft sensor. All three are direct plug-in with no wiring modification.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The ECU builds its entire timing picture from three signals - one crank sensor telling it where the crankshaft sits and two cam sensors telling it what each bank is doing. A fault in any one of the three produces overlapping symptoms which is why these get diagnosed one at a time over months.

All three sit in high-heat positions and age together, so a VQ old enough to lose one is usually close on the other two. Replacing the set closes the whole circuit out and removes the guesswork.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Crank with no start especially once the engine is hot
Check engine light with P0335 P0336 P0340 P0345 or P0365 stored
Sudden stall while driving with the tacho dropping to zero
Rough running and power loss on one bank
Repeat sensor codes returning after a single sensor was replaced
Long cranking and intermittent misfire under load

How do I test a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor?

Use an OBD2 scanner to check for fault codes P0335 to P0338 (crankshaft) or P0340 to P0349 (camshaft). You can also test the sensor with a multimeter - inductive sensors should show resistance between 200 and 1,000 ohms, while Hall effect sensors require a live voltage test with the engine cranking. Erratic or absent RPM signal on a live data scanner is a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a cam or crank sensor fault cause my vehicle to go into limp mode?

Yes. A faulty crankshaft position sensor in particular can cause the ECU to lose engine speed and position data entirely, which may trigger limp mode or prevent the engine from starting. A faulty camshaft sensor on variable valve timing engines can cause the VVT system to default to a fixed position, significantly reducing power and fuel economy.

Do cam and crank sensors need to be programmed after replacement?

In most cases no - aftermarket OEM replacement sensors are direct plug-in replacements that require no programming. However some vehicles, particularly late model European makes including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, may require a crankshaft adaptation reset using a dealer-level scan tool after replacement. Check your vehicle service information before replacing the sensor.

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include intermittent stalling, engine not starting, rough idle, misfires, and a Check Engine light with codes P0335-P0338. In severe cases the engine will crank but not start as the ECU cannot determine crank position for ignition timing.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include poor performance, misfires, difficulty starting, rough idle, and fault codes P0340-P0343. Variable valve timing systems (VVT) will also be affected, causing sluggish response and increased fuel consumption.

Can I drive with a bad crankshaft position sensor?

If the sensor has failed completely the engine will not start or will stall and not restart. If it is intermittently failing, driving is dangerous - the engine can cut out without warning. Replace it immediately.

Do I need to replace both the cam and crank sensor at the same time?

Not necessarily - replace whichever has failed based on fault codes and diagnosis. However, if your vehicle has high kilometres and one has failed, it is worth considering replacing both as they are similar in age and condition.
