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?

Cheers

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:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
