Knock Sensor Bypass :)

$15 will get rid of that darn Knock Sensor CEL and that annoying hesitation that a lot of our cars have. I installed one on my car and I love it. It is WAY faster and more responsive. Got rid of the CEL. WAY better gas milage also.

I have a verified Paypal account.
TO order Paypal $15 to:
Beekdawg@iserv.net
For questions with quicker responses email:
KingGSX@hotmail.com
I will send USPS but, I can send UPS also($3 extra).

This sounds a little like the mass air "fix" with the resistor. There is a good reason for the knock sensor so why try to bypass it.

This mod will save you from buying a $150 Knock sensor from Nissan.

It tricks the car into thinking there is no knock so it adavnces your timing to the max. More timing equals more power/better gas milage.

The reason the factory has this is so the dumb people that run 87 octane dont blow up their cars.

Umm the knock sensor is a pretty important piece of equipment. Hello it senses detonation! If you cant spend $130 to keep your engine in one piece, then thats your prob. My $.02

The knock sensor is one of the most important senors for the Maxima. If you bypass it and you have detonation, kiss your engine goodbye. By the way, do you have any pics or any form of evidence to back up your claim?

We all already know this trick.

The resistors are 99 cents per pack at radio shack.
