(or was it altima...) 2. if 1 is not true, is there no way to simply relocate the existing OE harness and sensor, thereby not messing with the wiring? 3. if 1 is true, why not just put the non-OE new sensor back in the original location? or maybe I'm just being thick-headed. It seems that whenever I've tried to outhink the engineers, I discover the error of my ways about 200$ later. So now I seek enlightenment first...

If you go back with a non-OEM sensor in the original location, you might get away with it till you wear the truck out. Some of the non-OEM parts being sold on Ebay are gutted sensor with a resistor.

Been okay with the original knock sensor since then.

According to the mechanic I use when I get lazy, Nissan knock sensors very rarely go bad, but there are well known (to Nissan mechanics) issues with wire and connector corrosion. He's been Nissan certified and working on Nissan or Infinity for 20 years so I figure he knows what he's doing. I was going to have him mod mine, but he just cleaned up the connector and the problem went away too.

The one on the knock sensor has a pretty tight connection/contact for the pin (really only one pin connected, as the other pin is the shield ground). But the one on the valve cover has some play in the pins, so just give those pins a good cleaning (two on the lower row on the right hand side while looking at the connector from the front of the truck) and very slight adjustment of the pins just to make the pins push harder against the side of the female connector.

I was cheap and lazy and done the resistor mod. While you didn't realize it, the National Anthem does end with "Gentlemen Start Your Engines!"
