So what year R50 changed to the fly-by-wire system?

Its seems 01-02 are cable and 03-04 are fly by wire from what I can tell as of now.. I've seen 2 fly by wire motors now and one had the missing cam sensor and one didnt.. so there must be a different variant between the fly by wire engines too ...

You would have to talk to the guy selling you the motor to see if the gear is there or not. If it's not, you would be looking at swapping the cams and having to adjust the valves, which I'm not sure if they used bucket tappets with shims or just different sized bucket tappets on your particular ...

So the guy I got the JDM motor from says he has another motor that does have the provision for the extra cam sensor. He even took a picture of it and sent it to me.. it has the hole so you can see the cam gear and it is covered up by a plastic block off plate.. i wondering if the pick up for the cam ...

You should be able to just remove the throttle by wire throttle body and replace it with the cable-activated throttle body, assuming the bolt-up pattern is the same. Worst case scenario, you may have to swap the upper plenum, which you may or may not have to do anyway depending on any differences ...
