Looks like its an m10 thread.  Does anyone have a block they could measure the surface area around the knock sensor?  The donut according to Plex needs 22mm of surface area to contact.

I know on some cars, people just drill out the bosch from m8 to m10.  Wonder if it can be done on an RB.

The JZ have an adapter stud, but they are m12.

Depends on the block you're using.  When tuning RB30s I use an unmodded M8 Bosch donut in an M12 hole in the block (same as 2Js) using one of these thingys:

With RB25/26 I *have* used a combination of drilled-to-M10 donut sensors and they've seemed alright, alternately have just had an M8 and M10 bolt welded back to back to make up a similar adapter stud to the Toyota one you use on RB30s and JZs.

Is there anything particularly wrong with the stock RB26 knock sensors? NTK KNE01A as far as I can tell is a wideband sensor. I would have figured if anything is the problem it would be the wiring harness which appears to ground the knock sensor to the block rather than using the knock sensor pins as a differential input. The wires also appear to be unshielded.

They're probably all using aftermarket ECUs.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
