Looking to buy a Knock Sensor specifically for a 1995 S14 with the bone stock KA24.

Also looking for an O2 Sensor. Pre-cat. 1995 if it matters.

Located near San Francisco, CA. Zip 94044.

Let me know, I need these to pass smog. Thanks

I have a new knock sensor in box that I bought from Rock Auto and never used. How about $50 shippied?

You get get new knock sensors on ebay for like $20 - works just as good as OEM - its basically just a tiny microphone

Do tell why - I have been running one for over 2 years now....

Thanks for the advice guys. BTW, the shop I went to made sure to get one from a 1995. I really can't remember if he mentioned that only for the knock sensor, or the O2, or both.

If you guys could share some insight on this, that's appreciated as well. Thanks!

I'll definitely ask you about that, although someone local has one and waiting for his reply at the moment. Incase it falls through, I'll PM you.

Ebay knock sensor made out of cheap plastic, it not a heat resistance one. It breaks on high temp. Am sure it won't like Cali temp.
Its cheap for a reason. You get what you pay for!

I pulled a OEM Nissan knock sensor of a bone stock s14 that was a melted like it was in a fire...I did the same with a s13 that had huge heat cracks all over it...

So what's the differences here? After an amount if time they will all melt and or crack...you have plastic bolted to hot cast iron..its just a matter of time..so for the cheap ones

S13/14's have the same part # when it comes to the knock sensor.

Also, the knock sensor is coated in plastic for the purpose of the plug. It's mostly metal. The bottom of the head of the bolt bottoms out on the top of the knock sensor, which is less than 1/16th of an inch metal before the bolt comes in contact w/ the plastic. The bottom of the knock sensor, (the surface that mates w/ the block) is metal. From the shaft to the bottom is solid metal while it is encased in plastic. It's kinda hard for a knock sensor to go to shit in a short period of time. Guarantee most ka owners have the original knock sensor since the birth of their car.
