To race in SF won't help that much nissan since cars are powered by the same NRE engine used in GT500, the know how they could get from SF is basically nothing compared to what toyota and honda learned in last 5-6 years from lmp1-h and f1.
Am of the idea that renault doesn't share their f1 derivated technologies with nissan.
About FE, I'm not sure is that useless, considering that nissan was the only one to introduce an innovative twin electric engines as powertrain a couple of season ago before that concept was banned, but at the same time I'm not even 100% sure it was something really and actually done by nissan since FE team is always e-dams that just changed name and livery switching from yellow/blue renault to red/black nissan.
Recall last year japanese-samurai posted a technical sheet that revealed nissan GT500 cars had the longest refuel average time, basically meaning nissan NRE engine consumed more fuel and probably can't even match toyota and honda power due worse efficiency.
