Might have just been bad luck I guess.
Thanks for the info!

My other issue is that when the negative battery terminal is unplugged (which they will need to do), the fuel maps switch back to default. I run e85 primarily, but when unplugging the negative terminal, you have to hold down the gas pedal to swap back to e85. Starting the car up without doing so causes it to stall, so hopefully I can have a sheet of instructions for the techs when I go lol.
This is such a PITA to be honest. Good thing I care about my passengers

Yeesh man I don’t want to have to buy another damn sensor. My wife is 7 mo pregnant and we still need to buy everything for the baby. So damn expensive now adays to have a kid. You’re gonna have to talk to the tech and explain the situation. Maybe after it’s done they’ll let you go back there and start it yourself. I know I’m putting mine in valet mode so they can’t rev over 3k rpm. I have a cousin who works at Nissan and he’s sent me videos joy riding gtrs. They don’t need to rev over 3k rpm, **** they don’t need to rev over 2500 rpms to move the car in the parking lot.

Just wanted to post: After a year, I finally got this taken care of. Not as bad as I expected, but not great either.
I went ahead and removed most of my stuff; center console gauges, radio, steering wheel gauges, etc. Tucked all the wiring back far enough that NOBODY should have needed to touch it. Keyword there is "should".
The day before I called them to confirm, and for maybe the third time told them DO NOT TOUCH MY ECU. I put tape over the ECU anyways, and took pics of everything before the service.
Took it in at 10am, they gave me the crappiest car on the lot as a loaner, and then by 6pm I had my car back.
And of course, they "accidentally" cut my Wideband wiring....which is odd, as I had EVERYTHING tucked away very nice and neat to avoid it.
Expecting something would happen, I fortunately had some tools with me when I got back to the dealership, as I didn't want to run my Wideband without power and be out a sensor.
All in all, they say they replaced it but I can't tell the difference between the two lol.
Since most of my dash was already apart, they didn't have too much to put back/ mess up, so I think that is the key here!
