For those reading along and trying to solve their own issues...
P1140 and P1145 are the codes for the actual sensor
P1110 and P1135 are the codes for the system
P1111 and P1136 are the codes for the solenoid.
So this morning I swapped the sensors, cleared the codes and the codes are back. This time I get P1110 and P0325. So swapping the sensor moves the error to the other side which leads me to believe the brand new sensor is bad. But the sensors tested exactly the same.
I read through the manual on the NICO site but it is greek to me and I don't have a consult tool. If anyone wants to read it here is the link and its page EC-448.

Too add to this confusion I am not sure at this point which sensor is which. The manual references the crankshaft position sensors (POS and REF), the camshaft position sensor, coolant temp and vehicle speed sensors. Note that if you are looking for parts I have found sites that like to call the camshaft position sensors, crankshaft position sensor. Parts guy at local nissan confirmed this change in terminology. WTH Nissan?
Any suggestions as to next steps? Buy an OEM sensor? But if the sensor isn't working right why no sensor error? why the system error?
If it is a problem with oil pressure, leaking oil, the actual cams, valves, solenoid..why did the error jump sides after the sensor switch? Strange right?
And can someone confirm the location of these intakes valve timing control sensor? Bank 2 top right, bank 1 lower left and the sit in identical housings.
