Unfortunately, we don't have service manuals on this vehicle because it is not offered in the USA.

However, here are a number of guides that will help locate it. The sensor has to read the crankshaft rotations so it is going to be just behind the crankshaft pulley. Please review these guides and let us know if you still can't find it. Thanks

That should have the Z24XE engine I believe. The crank sensor is on the side of the block below the exhaust manifold about 3 inches up from the oil pan flange. Toward the front of the engine. Items 6 and 7 in the image.
