While replacing my camshaft sensors, I accidentally broke one of the Green connectors for it. I can not find it anywhere, and there are no g35s in the junkyard. This one is for a nissan maxima, but I figured that if it's just the connector they couldn't be that different. Is this the same one as the g35? If so I could just grab it from the junkyard quick. Let me know.

Bump. Any advice?? I really could use it

 

I would put money on it that its the same connector. For what it would cost to design, engineer and make a die to cast a new one it would be stupid for Nissan to not just use the same ones on all of their motors (at least all 3.5 motors). Although, I am not 100% sure on this, I say give it a shot. What's the yard charging? $2? Sometimes they just let you take that kinda crap.

 

I'm just gonna take my old sensors with me to the yard and if they fit the same then I might as well grab one. the real problem would be if it didn't work after soldering it all :S

 

Nissan doesnt actually make the connectors. They outsoure them from places like Yazaki and Sumitomo. A lot of the time the connector is dictated by the part maker...for example the Hitachi Throttle body from DE to HR changed connectors.

Why solder? De-pin the old connector and slide the pins into the new connector.

 

or jus zip tie it to the sensor. it aint gonna come off im pretty sure
