Precise control of intake camshaft timing is essential for the VG30DE and VG30DETT engines to deliver their intended power, response, and efficiency. The genuine Nissan Camshaft Timing Control Solenoid Valve Assembly, Right (part number 23796-30P0A) is the factory VTC (Variable Timing Control) solenoid used on the Fairlady Z32 and USDM 300ZX. Mounted at the rear of the intake camshaft on the right-hand side, this solenoid regulates oil pressure to the variable valve timing mechanism, allowing the ECU to advance or retard intake cam timing based on engine load and RPM.
Over time, original VTC solenoids can stick, clog with oil residue, or fail electrically, leading to rough idle, reduced performance, check-engine lights, or improper cam timing. Replacing a worn unit with the genuine Nissan 23796-30P0A restores correct oil-pressure control and proper variable timing operation. This part supersedes earlier numbers 23796-30P00 and 23796-30P10 and fits both naturally aspirated and twin-turbo Z32 models from approximately 1990–1996.
Whether you are diagnosing a VTC-related code, performing a valve-cover service, or refreshing the timing system during an engine rebuild, installing the correct OEM right-side solenoid helps maintain factory performance and reliability. At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply this genuine Nissan Camshaft Timing Control Solenoid for Fairlady Z32 and 300ZX owners who prefer authentic engine management components.
