Hey so I busted my knock sensor plug ripping the wire out of it, it looks like a pretty bloody weird plug, does anyone know where I would get a replacement plug I can wire up, or a whole knock loom (2 plugs and a connector), is this something nissan or an auto elec would stock?

It needs to wire into an r32 rb20 loom but I'm pretty sure the plugs are the same for r32/33/34

The actual knock sensor plug, but if I can grab the loom with the loom plug and both knock sensor plugs that'd be even better as my remaining plug is very very brittle, however I didn't think stock rb30s actually had knock sensors?

Also where have you been cubes, haven't seen you on here in years?

IIRC Rb20/25 uses the same round type jack and rb26 ues a rectangular jack simlar to their inj plug

Did you burst the wire from the metal terminal? If so im sure it can come out of the housing(like almost all nissan jacks) and resolder.

If its the wire comeplete with the terminal that came out just get a new plug housing from the wreckers an swap it out

Yeah ripped the wire out of the metal terminal, but there is no way to pull the metal terminal out and solder a new wire on, its stuck in there.

So what else uses these knock sensors as I don't know of any wreckers with r32/r33s, might call an import shop and see if they have any lying around though.

I have never had cause to deal with the knk sensor jack but look carefully at the terminal, there is usually some little part or the terminal itself holding it in the housing

You should be able to get at it with a saftey pin or similar to pry it while pushing out the terminal same time

As i said, most of these jacks are designed this way, even the main ecu jack which allows you to swap around wires if needed.....I changed out all the jacks on my coil pack harness this way by using i think tps jacks from some GA15s :thumbsup:

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
