Nope, NSIS is completely independent of the Windows Installer so you don't get a smooth interaction between the two... and no transactional support.

Our previous installer was built using NSIS so it's not based on Windows Installer. Hence it has no upgrade code (that I can find) or ProductCode. The key name in the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall) is not a guid, but a product name string. My current thoughts on solving this problem is to do a registry search for that key and grab the UninstallString value and run that. But that seems hokey and hacky. Is there an another way to upgrade over the NSIS-installed app using WiX?
