You could try nissan but it will probably be expensive or just get another from a scrapyard?

Why dont you buy a modified ECU which by passes the NATS of one of the guys on this forum and be done, cant remember his name but works with no more problems again!!!

i dont think the nats light flashes when the ignition switch is faulty paul, iirc all the dash light go out and the engine cuts
