Well you have to consider how Nissan defines things too. On all ECU's you have RPM and Engine load, and that's how you determine fueling/timing. While Nissan TP is not a technical engine load, in Nissan world it is. Because that's how Nissan determines how much fuel/timing to give (with RPM as the other axis).
Best thing to compare TP to is airflow, because MAF voltage changes depending on how much air is flowing. Problem is, because there are so many calculations involved, your TP could be down yet your MAF voltage is still up (I will confirm in my logs, perhaps MAF V goes down too?)
