Its the 1" black sensor located on the drivers side intermediate housing.. right below the oil filler neck. Its elec. connector is on the same little harness as the TPS and intake air temp sensor. At least... thats where it is on my j-spec.

The knock sensor won't save your motor...I dont usually worry about them too much. If the engine I'm working on has a good one, I put it back on. If it has a bad one, I put it back on. If it doesnt have one at all, I dont put one on.
RETed claims that the sensor gets ignored after about 4krpm, which is believable...and also which is when this engine would encounter the bulk of it's knock anyway. The rotary is such a violent combustion engine under full throttle that most knock detection systems cannot distinguish normal combustion from knock. Notice no one ever talks about running J&S knock boxes on their high power rotaries? Notice no tuners ever speak about knock detection, but instead tune for the possibility of knock? That's why.
