This is a general-purpose aftermarket crank angle sensor and camshaft position sensor for the Nissan VQ35DE engine. Compatible vehicles: Nissan vehicles equipped with the VQ35DE engine, such as Skyline V35, Fuga Y50, Fairlady Z Z33, Stagea M35, etc. Compatible part numbers: 23731-AL605, 23731-AL60C / 23731-AL615, 23731-AL61A / 23731-6J905, 23731-6J90B Set contents: 1 crank angle sensor, 2 camshaft sensors
The crank angle sensor detects the crank angle and uses the resulting information to determine the engine speed and the cycle of each cylinder. This then determines the timing of fuel injection and ignition to each cylinder. The camshaft position sensor detects the angle of the camshaft.
This sensor is essential for controlling variable valve timing (VVT) by detecting how much the camshaft position deviates from the reference angle. If this part fails, the engine will suddenly stop, leaving you stranded. Sensors are prone to problems due to aging and heat, so it's best to treat them as consumables and replace them with new ones if you notice any malfunctions.
Caution is needed if your vehicle has high mileage or is older. Instead of using expensive genuine parts, you can reduce costs by using reasonably priced aftermarket parts that are equivalent to genuine parts. Regular replacement is recommended as it prevents engine malfunctions and maintains smooth operation.
Please use this as a repair part for inspections and maintenance to ensure your beloved car lasts a long time. If you notice anything unusual or wrong, it's important to replace it as soon as possible. Stocking up on parts in your garage while they're still available will give you peace of mind, allowing you to perform maintenance when needed.
