I had to learn the hard way on how to track down the cause of a P0300 code on my previous LS1 Vette. After changing everything there was to change, turned out to be valvetrain related (bad valve springs) and I traded it in at that point.

Like others have said, do not just throw parts at it. You may waste a lot of time and money when the culprit can be really simple.
Start with taking care of the new P1223 code. This has to do with your throttle position sensor. As suggested by others, make sure your connections are good. Once you're sure, I would try going back the stock intakes and clearing the codes. If they do not come back, you found your problem source.

When codes pop up, you always start with investigating recent changes and mods.

I’ve never had a blinking light! Hope to never have that. I’m gonna start with the throttle body and for p0300 I’ll have Nissan diagnose it and see if they can figure out where it’s coming from. And this p0300 code came on before I put the stillen intakes in. I reset the ecu and it wasn’t coming back on so I installed the G3s but over 500 miles later it did and this is when I changed my spark plugs and now it’s back on so idk what will fix it. So I hope Nissan figures it out!
