    That's what mine came off of.

    As an indication of how well my car runs.

    I was getting spark cut-out before swapping distributors and ignitors and getting code 21.

    Now I drove the HE351 and it pulled like a freight train. It's 9:1 with a 60mm turbo and BCPR6ES plugs gapped to .035. And it didn't cut out at all, and I don't even know what my timing is set at. I eyeballed what looked like 15. LOL.

    Was it the ignitor? Possibly has something to do with spark delivery. My car was blowing out spark last time, so its possible.

    For the Sentra/NX, is it the GA16, the SR20, or both? For the D21, is the KA or VG, or both?

    Not 100% sure, just copied it off rock auto....I'd say check those and confirm its PRW-2 before buying.

    I advise not buying a 3rd party unit.
    Buy OEM, because 3rd party manufacturers believe that a transistor is a transistor is a transistor is a transistor.

    they may have "close enough" specs, but just get a PRW-2 at the JY and you'll have a genuine nissan part for less than a 3rd party unit.

    did some searching, looks like the PRW-2 transistor is currently Nissan part # 22020-56E16

    list of cars it's found on: http://www.nissanpartszone.com/Page_Pro … 2020-56E16

    to answer a question, for the Sentra, it's for the GA16 only. for the D21, VG only.

    the other PTU is part # 22020-53J20.

    used to be 22020-56E11 for all of these models (what it states here and on lookup at any dealer's TradeMotion catalog): http://www.nissanpartszone.com/Page_Pro … 2020-56E11

    22020-53J20 also fits 91-94 SR20 powered vehicles (Sentra/NX/G20).
