Lookin good d. I'm sure u will get it soon.

Awesome post!

Anyways, with firing ether through the engine, wouldn't the car try to fire? or would this cause the spark to shut off as well? And can the key be reprogrammed without taking the car in? Given it doesn't move, it'd be kind of hard to get the car there. Any idea why things like my horn or radio wouldn't work either? Assuming the plugs are in correctly.

An easy thing to do with the radio is take a multimeter and check that you're getting a proper 12 volts in your Constant, and Turn-on wires, and also check your ground. If those things check out okay, then the radio is most likely bad.

Take the key, and the title or if U have the registration take that in and get it programmed. I'd call and ask if anything else is needed. As for the radio make sure all the wires are connected fully. It could all be the key that's making the radio and horn not work.

in the second video it sounds like you get a little combustion with the ether spray but with no fuel the car wont run. as best i can recall, spark is unaffected by the NATS system. the only way to program keys is to take the car to the dealer, its actually the vehicle that records the key info. but before you go getting the vehicle towed or whatever, check the security light, you know the one that blinks on most cars when the alarm is active, if it stays on solid with the key in the on position, then the key is not registered to the vehicle. as for the horn and such, i saw you replaced the engine room harness. where did you get the donor section? most harnesses are pretty specific to vehicles with different options, so a ER harness for a tech package vehicle will be different, and may have different pin outs at the big junction connectors, etc. the harness part numbers should be on a white section taped to the harness on the drivers side near the brake master cylinder. maybe also check the fuse block by the battery, pretty sure both fuses are near each other in that box.

I'll definitely have to make sure to check the security light when trying to start
Yeah, I did replace the main engine room harness. And i'm 100% it is the correct one because I ordered it straight from Nissan and they are the exact same part numbers. And it actually took them two tries to get it right. I needed a cd-002 and they originally sent me a cd-003 (maybe vise versa since I can't look at the harness this second). And the radio is on a different harness then the one I replaced, so im thinking something just isn't plugged all the way in, hopefully!
The horn confuses me though, there are two tiny connectors going to each horn thing and i'm 98% sure I got them in the right order, but I'll check again. And all fuses on the fuse block were fine.

Make sure u check the fuse in the radio if it's aftermarket and has me that is. Hopefully it's a plug man I wanna we that beast rolling.

So I went over today and got some ish done. Not a lot for pics but I did go ahead and throw the bi-xenons on, got the intake on, and the strut bar.
Also had to take the center console back out to check why the radio isn't working still so i replaced the headunit itself with another one i had, and still nothing. The same for the horns, rechecked the wiring and it is correct so I'm still not sure the horn itself isn't working. And then when the guys stole the car and were taking everything off, they broke the hood release on the inside of the car and cut the release itself, so I got the new plastic piece switched out and the hood release hooked up.
Can't really think of anything else that happened today? hahaha I'll update tomorrow and hopefully have a few better pics!

Here is a better pic


0o0o0oo0o000oo0o0oo0o0o0o00o0o0o and I think I know why it wouldn't start! Mad props to Cheeco for telling me. It appears as though the key has lost it's programing with the installation of the new wiring harness, so I am going to finish installing stuff on the car and send it off for paint, then tow it in to Nissan to have them verify that is the problem then reprogram the key and I'll have it on the road!

Lookin good man!

Where do you go to college? Purdue?

Yep, up at Purdue. BOILER UP!

Haha Nice!!! I dont live too far from you then. I live up near notre dame.

update?

ehh here's whats going on with the car.:
Nissan won't reprogram the key without a title, and the state doesn't want to give me a title. Apparently when I bought the car from the guy in North Carolina he wasn't legally allowed to sell it to me after he bought it as a salvage car from Atlanta. With how the laws are, you can't, as a regular person without a license, resell a salvaged car without a rebuilt title after you purchase it until it's deemed road worthy and approved through the state. I hope that made sense. So I'm working on seeing a judge to have him give me the title under the messed up circumstances because he is capable of doing that. Until then, I'm stuck.
I did however go throw on the hood and fenders today. I'll be going back later to clean the doors and put them on. From there I'll put the headlights back in and test fit the new sideskirts and front bumper. That's about it.
0o0o0o0o0o and I got a set of 08 anniversary stock wheels for the car and smoked front markers to replace the orange ones. That's about it.

Those the wheels we were talking about yesterday Dustin??? Unless they NEED it I wouldn't touch them. That hypersilver color is sick. If you do mess with them, what color are you thinking?

They have a few lil nicks here and there that kinda bug me. The seller did not list any blemishes with the wheels, and his idea of great packaging and protection for the wheels was two wheels per box faces pointing towards each other with a piece of cardboard between them. They have a lot of smaller fine scratches that could be buffed out. But I was thinking either graphite gray/slate gray or a black. I'm blacking out the front front, rear markers and tails and think either option would go very well with the car.

should I bump this?

How would you paint the wheels, rattlecanning or professional powdercoating?

Dustin, did you ever get the title sorted out? I have a suggestion for you if you haven't, but you may have done this already. I can't wait to see this thing completed.

ok so where to really begin here... I'm not sure....
A pic? ok, that works!


OK so now the boring words part of my story.

At last check I needed the title to get the car reprogrammed, and then the reprogrammed car to get a title. So here's what happened:
I went before a judge with my mom to talk about the case. The sheriff came out and looked through all my information. Then the judge looked through it. Then he said BAM I'll mail you a title. So I got a title in the mail.... A CLEAR title at that

So I sent the car off for paint as you see up there..... and tomorrow I should be taking it in to Nissan to reprogram and start driving it
That's enough for now
