Can someone please tell me where's the best place to get a new knock (detonation) sensor? I can get one through Advance Auto for $115.00. I was just hoping someone knew of a better rate....Thanks

 

Try internetautomar, coutesy nissan, brown and brown nissan.. Look up in the stickies for a list of suppliers.

 

In the group deals section, there is a thread about a knock sensor group deal offered by JRNissanParts and within that people have said that you can get brand new ones on Ebay for less than $100 shipped. Check it out.

 

how do u know when u need a knock sensor..check engine light?

 

It's mostly a VE problem. Causes hesitation and 'heat soak' due to the knock sensor (or subharness) going bad and forcing the ECU to pull back timing heavily.

 

Yea it's a common VE problem. Since you have to take so much stuff to get to it I suggest you use OEM parts. You need to order some intake manifold gaskets, the knock sensor and make sure to order the harness and make sure they send you the correct harness for the car, don't let no mechanic splice the harness, I say that because the harness a special cover that doesn't allow for frequency to mess it up with other frequencies, its a very delicate sensor. Plus it would suck to do all that work and because someone does a half a$$ job the car doesn't feel better or acts the same way. Good luck with the knock sensor replacement. www.courtesyparts.com is a good source for these parts also.

 

i have a brand new one that i never used and won`t need since the ecu was done over by jim wolf it eliminated all the un nesesary sensors and it is oem stray from nissan $100.00 ship let me know.

 

Can you expand on that? A JWT ecu eliminated the ks?

 

Stand alone systems are the engine managemets that I have seen remove factory sensors, I don't see how JWT would remove the function of the knock sensor.

 

good answer..

 

I DON`T HAVE ELECTRONIC ENGEN. LIKE YOU ALL I KNOW IS THAT AFTER THE REPROGRAM OF THE ECU, I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW PROGRAM WILL ELIMINATE THE KS ALONG WITH OTHER SENSORS, B/S WEN THE MAF SENSOR REGISTERS BOOST FROM THE TURBO IT AUTOMATICLY RETARD THE TIMING, OR EVENBETTER CALL THEM AND ASKED IF IS POSIBLE WITH THE 370cc AND TURBO PROGRAM.

 

Okay, not using a KS on a boosted engine is a big risk imho. Still don't know what you are referring to about "eliminating sensors". I know the JWT boost programs alter fuel and ign maps. But it still uses all the factory sensors.

What's up with the caps anyway?

 

And Good Answer Abouth What! Explaining How Do You Know Any Better? Have You Done It Before? Asked The Pro.who Do It For A Living Everyday I`m Just A Costumer!

 

Bro If You Have Any Questions Call Them I`m Sure They Could Explai It Better, I`m Not Going To Entretain The Matter.

 

It's just a question. Any particular reason you decline to explain???

 

You Want Me To Explain? I Can Not, You What To Talked To Me So I Could Do My Best? Sure Call Me 908-494-2900 I Don`t Play The Child Let`s Make Fun Game I Don`t Question Any One Abouth Anything Unless I Know Myself.

 

Really have no urge to call. If you want to explain fine. I don't see the particular differences inbetween me calling and you posting. If you really don't want to get into an explaination fine. Don't quite understand how this could be childish. Just do your best here.

 

I don't think he knows what he's talking about

 

what kind of keyboard do you have, because I cant understand jack captian.


Seriously, the reasoning in reference to the JWT sucks. It would be extremely dangerous for them to eliminate the KS. Seeing as back when Davebond007 had a KS resistor in his car then we advanced his timing, we couldnt even go above 17* before it would ping, on 92 octane gas.


knock sensor, Napa sells them too (they are the exact same as the OEM KS, nissan hamburger and all).

 

oh and dont forget the subharness

 

Well I hope he knows what he's talking about. He's one of the VE turbos correct?? That's why I'm asking.

 

Well I would love to answer the question about him being turbo but he can only do that by providing pictures or something. Maybe he'll say we have to call JWT to get permission to see pictures

 

very funny opinions is like *******s, do you have one?

 

Man, you are sure defensive about this topic.

It sounds like all you know is what the mechanic told you that installed your ECU. None of the sensors on you car are "unnecessary" since they can dramatically effect how your car works.

Jeff was just asking a question, one for which he probably already knows the answer. You aren't the only member of this board with a JWT ECU and are also not the only one with a turbo on your car either. You are the first one to claim your JWT ECU bypasses all of your sensors, however.

Why don't you just calm down, stop thinking members of the board are out to get you, and just answer the questions honestly. None of us care what you think. We do care about what we can learn from someone who allegedly has a turbo VE with a JWT ECU. If you don't know something, say "I don't know," or "I am not sure."

 

just randomly reading...came across this thread. for what its worth, yea espimax has a RIDICULOUS turbo'd 3rd gen. as far as if hes running a knock sensor, i couldn't tell you that. i have a couple pics of his car (one of them might show a (lack of) knock sensor) but i have no way of posting them, nor do I know enough about engines to say the picture i have is of a knock sensor or not.

 

Knock sensor is located around the middle of the engine, can't be seen unless you take out the intake manifold. If you're not going to post or are not capable of uploading pictures why even mention it.

 

email pictures to theadministrator@gmail.com

I will host them, I own the internet.

gogogo!

 

so that someone nice enough like jeff can offer to post

 

Go ahead and send those to me.

 

yea DO IT!!!

 

<- official .org hoster?

 

ive sent them to jeff already....

mr gone do you want them too?

 

You did? Nothing here.

 

yeah
please send to theadministrator@gmail.com

 

ok so what you guys think abouth my setup? no ofence to those who i ofended but i don`t like those questioning games, i`m here to share and learn aboth the car i love not to waste my time with so stupid post on wether i have or not have a turbo, some people here are fast running their mouth on the keyboard but just that! that`s the reason i never talk abouth what i have or my car,or that is better or faster or maybe more hp than any body, but in the same token i never put anyone down on their maximas, to me been unique is what it`s all about. see you all next meet if my **** is ready.

 

I see no pics to give you an opinion. Where are the pics? (la la land)

 

my boy djfrestyl was puting them on for me, i can`t or i don`t know how to post them on the org.but i will asked him to put them for me.

 

What a mission to put on pics.

 

email me the pics and I will put them on the org for you
