Lonestar Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ok, it wouldn't let me edit in my pic. How odd but here's my 5spd. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 They all over the wreckers around here, $10 for a cam position sensor. Pick-n-Pull has like 20 altimas in Dallas. I could be crazy, but don't the Altimas have a different set-up (distributor with plug wires and not a CAS like the turbo)? And aren't all the Altimas KA24DE? FWIW, I got one for my last SR20DET swap (came broken like yours) from Marco at www.sr20store.com. I think it was $40? Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Deffinately going to use the black plum in mine. Has the nano spec B.O.T injectors and runs like baggy spandex Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 drat, i keep thinking KA24, which sensor is same as altima. The ones with distributor have a CAS too, but it's inside the distributor. Anyways, knock sensor can't be by the crank, it has to be by the head so it can detect the knocks. Are those Coil On Plug, or plug wires? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Nissan 23731-50F02 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR Look like it unique to the SR20DET, no other models except Silvia S13/S14/S15. The knock sensor should be on left side, toward the back. A round thing held on by a bolt in the center. Quote Link to comment

They are coil on plug type. John, if I can find a good one for 40 bucks I'll take it. So far on Ebay the best looking I found was a 129 bucks. Better than 335 but do I really wanna waste money on something used that I need to have for my motor to run right? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 do I really wanna waste money on something used Yes, if it is genuine Nissan it is a good used part. If you want to worry about something, replace your coils, the most unreliable part. Or was that just the KA coil packs that were unreliable? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 If you want to worry about something, replace your coils, the most unreliable part. Never seen one fail yet. ;) Or was that just the KA coil packs that were unreliable? KA's don't have coil packs? They have a distributor and plug wires. None of the KAs came coil-on-plug like the SR and CA. Have heard of KA coils failing though. But they share a coil with 50 other Nissans, so... :cool: Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Definitely interested in this thread. Im wanting to swap a NA sr20 into another datsun. I suppose if the det is not too much trouble then thats ok too. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Very few swap North American SR20s into Datsuns, mainly because they are FWD and the distributor is on the back of the head. It hits the firewall when put into RWD cars. There are other differences too. John, glad to hear the coils don't fail very often. So no need to worry about the reliability of used parts then? Lonestar, if you worry about the reliability of used parts, have you considered a new Sentra? -- it comes with all new parts. Quote Link to comment

Lonestar, if you worry about the reliability of used parts, have you considered a new Sentra? -- it comes with all new parts. Are you saying I should just buy a Sentra and be done with it? I'm not trying to sound rude but you got me confused. I didn't there was an Sentra in the states that came fact with an SR20. It's not so much about having a problem of buying a used part, it's the part that I can't look at it before I buy. Ebay is the only place I can find right now and while the pic's look good, I've been burned before like that. I don't wanna spend 130 bucks only to find the part really was cracked or broken and they ripped me off. That is what I mean by wasting my money. Quote Link to comment
dez Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 theres a guy up here in OKC that has one for sale (if it hasnt sold yet) @ $175 and is known to be good and comes from a legit guy who is honest to his word... pretty sure you could talk him down Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Are you saying I should just buy a Sentra and be done with it?I'm not saying you should buy a Sentra. I posed a question: if you worry about the reliability of used parts, have you considered a new Sentra? And now you made clear your objection is not with used parts. I'm glad to see you are cautious about buying stuff sight unseen. If you buy with a credit card and the part turns out to be junk you can get the charge taken off. So that helps limit your risk and you won't get burned. Read the sellers claims carefully, if he says it works and it doesn't then your CC company will take care of you. You can also make a claim with eBay, but reportedly they are real sticklers for what was explicitly promised. Which ususally isn't much! Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Oh cool. XD Did any of the american Sentra's have an SR20 in them? :blink: Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 the g20's did. the sentra b13 se-r has it and the b14 se and se-r have it. and the b14 200sx se-r have it. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ok all, more oic's! Got to start some clean up on the motor, getting an idea of what will need to be replaced. I'm going to have the valve cover re-powder coated but I'm thinking I'll leave the same color, I kinda like it! Gunna scrub the long and paint it and give it a reseal that I hopefully won't have to replace the head gasket or should I? I'm not going to build a speed demon just leave it pretty much stock with nice shiny bling for under the hood, ya know?. Now with the oic's, enjoy! I don't know why it looks blue in these pic's but it is not, it's purple. Looks real clean to me. Some of the broken things I'll need to fix. All the dead weight I have taken off. A little cleaner, next to remove all the pulleys, intake, exhaust, and start cleaning the block while I wait for my gaskets. Quote Link to comment

jaime.g Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Where in TX you located? I'll be doing an sr swap in a b210 eventually. Also, don't trash that stock clutch fan as those things work amazingly well with the stock shroud for 240sx people (I doubt you'll be able to fit it into your 210). If you need spare sr20 parts, you should definitively keep an eye out on craigslist as I see part outs all the time. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yes Cooch, it will be a mighty fine dish when I'm done. I'm in the DFW area Jaime and I have been keeping an eye on the CL. I thought I found some parts but the guy never sent me any pic's but I've had to put my project on hold for now till I get myself into a house. Once I do, I'll start stripping my 210 down to a bare shell with the start on the next year for a full ground up repaint and refresh Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Why are you waiting on gaskets? Is something wrong with the engine? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Why are you waiting on gaskets? Is something wrong with the engine? When installing a used engine of unknown origin, it's a good idea to replace as many seals as you can. It would suck to get it in there and running only to find one (or more) fluid leaks. ;) Quote Link to comment
