Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor P/N:JR-168
Help deliver high-voltage spark to each plug in the correct firing order with the Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor JR-105. It is a direct replacement for a range of Nissan applications: the 1986-1995 Nissan Sentra, 1989-1990 Nissan 240SX, 1989-1992 Nissan Hikari, 1989-1990 Nissan Pulsar NX, 1990-1994 Nissan D21, 1990-1991 Nissan Ichi Van, 1991-1993 Nissan NX, 1993-1996 Nissan Pickup, and the 1993-1996 and 1998 Nissan Tsuru. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
The rotor turns with the distributor shaft. It carries current from the cap's center terminal to each outer terminal in sequence, so every plug fires in turn.
Signs a rotor may need replacing: misfires, hard starting, rough running, or a no-start. On inspection, look for a burned contact tip, cracks, or carbon tracks. If a worn rotor is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the ignition system first, since other components can produce the same symptoms.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a distributor rotor do?
It turns with the distributor shaft and passes high-voltage current from the cap's center terminal to each outer terminal in firing order. This sends spark to the correct plug.
Which vehicles does the JR-105 fit?
It is listed for Nissan applications including the 1986-1995 Sentra, 1990-1994 D21, 1993-1996 Pickup and 1989-1990 240SX. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
What are the rotor's contact segments made of?
Standard specifies solid brass segments. They are designed for better conductivity and higher-voltage spark to the plugs.
How does this rotor address carbon tracking?
It uses a high-grade, dielectric-strength alkyd that resists dirt sticking to it. This is intended to reduce carbon tracking and extend service life.
What are signs a distributor rotor may need replacing?
Possible signs include misfires, hard starting, rough running or a no-start, plus a burned tip, cracks or carbon tracks. Diagnose first, since other ignition parts can cause the same symptoms.
