So if I put a turbo badge on my car do I get turbo power too?

ECU seems like it behaving correctly and is trying to start, but the voltage isn't making it to the starter. Should be a simple fix.

Also was that the pick up point of the drop off point? Dont look like a Nissan dealership to me.

The last 3 pics were the drop off point, and it is a Nissan dealership just north of Tacoma, WA. It's at the back side. I guess that's why they call it Tacompton son. LOL

Nope, the "ricey" badge was my first mod actually. I only plan on doing the body kit and the cat back and CAI. Don't hate man.

The "Ghetto" looking Nissan dealer called. Looks like my "Ignition" fuse blew somehow! IPDM has been ordered and will be here tomorrow!

Not hating just dont understand why you badge something it aint. Why didnt you just get the Nismo?

Why? Because they don't sell a Blue Nismo. If they did I would be all over it! Look at my Avatar.

It would have been cheaper to paint it than do all the other stuff.

I disagree completely. A good paint job *for me to get* would cost me about $8,000. I will be spending way less than than for my Nismo conversion. I got my Z under invoice to boot.

-edit-

OK back on topic. LOL! Final outcome for those in a similar situation: And don't laugh. A fuse blew at the driver side kick panel. The "Push Start" Ignition fuse. All this headache and towing for nothing. I did end up getting a NEW IPDM module installed though, and that could be a blessing in discuise. I hear this device has been a big problem on Nissans and on some of the 2009's... Not sure if this is true, but I got a brand new one overnighted from Nissan...

Sooo, check all your fuses! (I did check the IPDM and relays in the engine area, but NOT the kick panel area!)
