Name: Camshaft Position Sensor RH to suit Nissan 350Z Z33 Skyline V35 CPV35 Stagea PM35
Brand: Aftermarket OEM Replacement
SKU: CSCA514-2
Price: 87.99 AUD
Availability: InStock

BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* right hand exhaust side camshaft position sensor to suit Nissan 350Z Z33 Skyline V35 and Stagea PM35 with the VQ35 V6.

A 350Z or V35 that throws a cam sensor code and starts running rough usually needs exactly this part - and it ships from Cranbourne VIC the same day.

TO SUIT

The rear-drive VQ35 performance platforms built from 2003 - the 350Z Z33 in AAZ33 VQ35DE and BAZ33 VQ35HR form the Skyline V35 PV35 sedan and CPV35 coupe and the Stagea PM35 and PNM35 wagon. Earlier VQ35 engines built before 01/2003 take a different sensor.

FITMENT CHECK

Fitment starts 01/2003 on the Skyline V35 and 03/2003 on the 350Z Z33 - earlier build dates use a different sensor. This is the RIGHT HAND exhaust side unit and the left bank takes our CSCA524. The Maxima J31 PJ31 is NOT covered - it uses the left hand rear bank sensor instead.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

1 x camshaft position sensor with straight oval 3-pin connector. Direct plug-in fit to the Z33 and V35 factory harness.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The VQ35 runs a cam sensor on each bank and the right hand exhaust side unit is the one that sees the most radiant heat from the exhaust manifold. On the 350Z that position also sits where engine bay temperatures peak after a hard drive.

As it breaks down the ECU loses cam phase on that bank and pulls timing, so the car runs rough and down on power before it eventually will not start. The code often stores intermittently at first which sends people chasing coils and plugs.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Rough running and noticeable power loss on one bank
Check engine light with P0340 P0345 or P0365 stored
Crank with no start once the fault becomes permanent
Hesitation and stumble under acceleration
Hard hot starting after a spirited drive
Idle hunting or surging at a standstill

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.
