Safc 2 Knock Sensor

I have an rb25det series 1. finished hooking up the safc2 and all is working fine.

i have one query about the knock sensors though.

there are 2 knock sensor wires on the ecu one for cyl 1-3 and one for 5-6?? is this right?

to my knowledge there is only 1 knock sensor wire on the safc, do i need to tap into both of these wires? or is there a second knock wire from the safc2?

i have the knock sensor wire from safc tapped into one of the ecu knock sensors atm, but do not get any knock readings on the safc.

i assumed there would be a small amount of knock or is it because ive hooked it up wrong.

can someone please help me out with this and clear it up??

Thankyou

thanks zennon i have that printed out at home, but found it pretty much all over the shop and confusing. ill try and have a read through it again.

but from what i can see there is 1 wire from the safc for knock and it needs to be tapped into both knock wires on the ecu.

yeah as a whole its fairly easy, was just this knock sensor thing im a little unsure of.

just make sure all your connections are sweet. the splitters i used werent the best for the job and made a dodgy connection. caused me a bit of trouble.

nah the safc doesn't have two knock wires, just one. you need to get a multimeter and probe into both of the knock sensor wires at the ecu when the car is running. the one that has the higher voltage is the one you splice into.

2nd one in the thread - you're on a roll! :banana:

haha i didnt even notice the other one. slow day at work today... my brains not working

awesome thanks qwk32 :) i'll check that out.

should an untuned rb25det be getting a small amount of knock? it shouldnt always be at zero should it? i may have read that wrong somewhere though

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
