How many Knock sensors have you gone through?

I understand that the knock sensor is a weak point on the VQ, but how many knock sensors have you had to replace during the life of your maxima? I'm going to replace mine this week, and I need to know what to look forward to in the future...about how long do/can they last?

I'm replacing my first one and I'm at 60k miles right now and about 7.5 years old. I'm hoping its the last time I need to replace it before I sell it

I've gone through three in the last year....



(since they're the same sensor for my Maxima, 240, and Altima and all of them were bad)..

Ukyo, check www.motorvate.ca for DIY KS instructions.

Also, replace the O2 sensor first. The KS code can be triggered by the bad O2 sensor.
