They are both pretty much complete shit, reading off the ems is the way to go.

I would still reccomend an after market gauge or brand new oem sensor, thats waht i did.

The one in the display gauge in dash just routes a ground circuit iirc. theres not two fully independent sensors on older model nissans that route information intot he car...

**R240NA** got it right , thanks

To orig poster: Take your car to a good machine shop an dhave them use a straigth ede wtiha feeler gauge then compare to oem "you could do taht yourself" but you seem kind of flustered. Re-machining (not jsut resurfacing the head) but machining to make up for minor warp is like 25 bucks at a good machine shop.

hope everything works out for you.

cheers
