  1. Man you are awesome. I hope a local parts store has them.
  2. The cog was black but unlike the newer (electronic) speed sensor which the cog was hemispherical and held in place by a C-clip, the cog on the older (cable driven) speed sensor was molded onto a splined shaft making it a single piece unit. I will post pics when I get home. Thank you for easing my anxiety about the distributor.
  3. Ok, so I guess there is no such thing as an easy fix. I picked up a wrecked (but running) 1997 d21 with the ka24e. I swapped over the engine and trans together and now I have a whole new set of problems. The most pressing issues are: 1) The speed sensor is for an electronic speedometer set up and mine is analog. I would just swap sensors but the analog sensor I had in the old trans was badly scarred when I lost 5th gear and no longer spins. I have looked at all of the parts places in my area including a scrap yard with no success. Nissan tells me that the part is discontinued and obsolete. Any ideas? 2) Different distributors. I have resigned myself to swapping them out , however, before I attempt this I would like tips to make sure I can do this without seriously screwing up the timing. On a side note: in case anyone else attempts this same type of project with as little experience as I have/had, it is extremely helpful if the transmission is in neutral before trying to drop in the engine trans combo and line up the driveshaft. The cuss words were flying until I figured out why it wouldn't line up, then I just felt stupid.
  4. Well thank you all for your input as a result I have steered away from the Z2. I have however come across a newer Nissan frontier. KA engine that I am sure of (95-98 I believe). My concerns are as follows: 1. It appears that the top end of the engines differ i.e. throttle body injection vs multiport. 2. The frontier is a regular cab and my 93 D21 is an extended cab. Keep in mind that I am repairing the 93 to be a daily driver and cant afford a lot of mod cost at this time (new baby due next month). I am looking for the easiest drop in type fix so I can get back into a more fuel efficient vehicle and out of my C2500 Suburban. As funds free up i will be looking to soup up the D21 but for now I just need her running. P.S. the frontier is totaled but the engine and tranny are great and thats all I need for the D21 (Hopefully).
  5. Now we can start up Esbon Kansas's first Datsun/Nissan club! ha ha ha! Anyrhing's possible bro.

  6. Read my post below...I have abandoned the idea of the 86 yet i still have questions if you can help. I have a 93 D21 and I am preparing to replace my seized engine with an engine from an 86 d21 what should I be expecting? utter failure or maddening success. The first thing that jumps out at me is the 6 spark plugs vs my measly 4 (and they are both 4 cyl) I was told that the extra plugs were for emission purposes. If I take the top end off my engine (93) will it marry to the one that I am putting in (86)? and what other potential problems should I be prepared for?
