Can someone post a picture of where the bank 1 camshaft sensor is located? I only found one picture by searching but couldn't get a good idea as to where it's located.

 

backside of the head on the drivers side. Its the only sensor with a wire connected to it. You access it from reaching in behind the pass side head , across the back of the motor, and remove the single 10mm bolt holding it in. Took me 5 minutes to change mine 2 weeks ago.

 

actually, bank 1 is the passenger side of the motor according to Nissan. Bank 1 has cylinders 1,3,5 (pass side).

 

i believe you are incorrect.

see pic from FSM

 

Thanks, but due to me being a moron I see where it says Camshaft Position sensor phase 1 but I don't see a line attached to it showing where it is....unless I'm missing something.

 

The line starts just above the upper right end of the C in Camshaft. It points in the 11 o'clock direction, and ends in a round dot. It kinda gets lost in the drawing.


"Its the only sensor with a wire connected to it."

Yeah, you gotta look out for all those sensors with no wires Nissan puts on their engines.

 

Thanks man! I totally missed that line.

 

Not to bring a dead thread back to life... but this is what helped me locate them to begin with... but I'm wondering which si considered the "front" and which is considered the "back" sensor. Buying a new one at autozone.com and thats how they clarify them.

 

Both of them are on the back of the engine (near the flywheel) in the Z. They're identified as bank 1 and bank 2.

It sounds like the Autozone parts system names them by where they're located when the V6 engine is mounted in a front-wheel-drive car. From the pictures I could fine, it looks like the flywheel end of the engine is to the left side of the car, so bank 1 is to the rear, and bank 2 is to the front in a fwd layout.

It looks like the sensors are different because of the way they mount on the engine. You can see it here:
