Hmm.. That's pretty nuts. So you completely fake out the computer on IAT and it never can do any sort of compensation based off it.... that's not as bad as disabling the knock sensor though! Did you have some other form of auxiliary knock control or are you just waiting until the car coughs up a piston?

Yeah, there is a bit of a "buffer" in what Nissan thinks is safe and what the average tuner thinks is safe, but still... completely disabling one or the other of those two sensors is a recipe for disaster.
