Cool, glad you figured it out. If it happens again, put some Loctite on the the threads before tightening them back up.

You some sort of Nissan rep or something? I'm still having nightmares from all the loctite I've fought on this car.

Yes, Nissan overdid the Loctite such as on the shifter knobs. However, he'd be very sorry if that 1" diameter port screw comes off completely before the cat. He'll have flames coming out into the engine bay.

Loctite and tightening the $hit out of it worked for mine. I don't plan on doing wideband tuning anytime soon. If I do, I'll have spent serious money on the car and will just get new cats if I can't get the screw out.

Thanks. Will Loctite work in high temp areas like this? I was thinking about that.
