Good question... maybe ask in Alpha's thread? He did the replacement himself.
Only one that I could find. It is installed with the connector on the top and naturally collects water / salt spray, being located at the front of the engine. It appears to rust out quickly so I am trying a plasti dip coating to see if it last longer or if I inadvertently shorten the life instead. The good news is that Alpha found a cheap supply and it is very easy to replace so this is not a major defect but I think you can plan on yours failing at some point if you drive in a Canadian winter.

I fixed my original easily enough by cleaning up the contacts, and I tested it and it works like new. If anyone needs a replacement, let me know. I'll sell it cheaper than the stealership, with better shipping times than AliExpress.
How do you remove the sensor?
I too have the same code but the car is running fine. I did an oil change and cleaned the connection and added dielectrics grease but it continues to pop up, any suggestions? And is this covered under warranty?
We DO have two...
I thought I would share my recent experience with everyone. I got trouble code P0011 but it’s was intermittent and was not always a problem. After checking most parts I found that my intake side (front of motor) variable valve timing solenoid was stuck in the open position. I ended up ordering it on Rockauto for half the price as Nissan. If you get this error a good check is to do an oil flush and pull your solenoid out and clean it well and see if code comes back (if you have a 12volt supply you can attach accross the prongs on the solenoid and it should engage but only allow power for a second not for more then 5 seconds) I tested mine and it was working then not working. I have now replaced it and no problems since. Do not mistake the exhaust which is on the back of the motor as it will call for a different code. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask as I did a lot of troubleshooting and learned a lot about the system.

This is the one I ordered works great and has a different design which is great hope it won't rust as fast as the old one!

Here it is from the shop manual, you can see both.

I have played around a lot feel free to PM me if you have any questions about this as I just fixed my P0011 as mentioned previously by replacing the intake side.
I assume you just undo the bolt and pull out , like a solenoid in an auto trans ?
