Well coming up on the final steps before finally starting the coupe and realized I didnt have a knock sensor. Not a problem, grabbed an OEM one off ebay for cheap enough. The problem is that I dont have the harness that goes from the sensor to the wiring harness...I've been looking and cant seem to find that damn harness anywhere.

Is there a write up that im overlooking on how to cut/splice around the harness, or anybody have any helpful tips in this situation?


found this thread but im still lost

Try going to a pick n pull and check out how it is there. I forgot if the KA has a seperate harness for the knock sensor or not.

This may or may not help, has a few pics of his knock sensor harness there.

ive called around to quite a few auto salvage yards and can't find a 240sx local.

Does anyone know if the plug is universal off any other KA?

OR! if anyone has a spare plug that goes from the knock sensor to the harness pm me shipped to 67217 please

The plug does indeed have a subharness. I don't remember the plug styles off hand, but if you can get the corresponding plugs, you can fab up a harness and get it back in. If that's not an option, you might be able to go to Nissan and order the subharness as a last alternative.

Also, Nissan used that knock sensor on a lot of vehicles. You can always call up a dealer and ask them how many cars that part can cross over with.
