Possessed Car......Turbonetics install from hell - HELP!
I will try and make a long story real real short:
Bought a used kit from someone on here who is a scammer - Drift Projekt Z - who shorted me about $500 worth of parts of what he claimed as a "Complete kit." I am over it but everyone needs to know he will lie and sell you junk.
Moving on I buy the necessary missing parts and put together what I can with the help of Eddie (Six3mike). Then Eddie and I tow the car up to Sharif up at Forged Performance from Alabama (4hrs). Very grateful for Eddies help.
My experience at Forged was great. Eveything that happened to the car and the build were issues which couldnt be prevented. I am very pleased with the professionalism and the extreme effort put forth to get my car together. Thanks to the staff at Forged.
So to continue to the mystery of the year........
The car wont start. For some reason unbeknownst to me the ECU keeps dumping the security codes for the keys and the anti-theft system wont let me start the car. After reprogramming the keys the car will start about 3 or 4 times then it will dump the code again. So now I have a car that wont start and I have no clue how to fix it. If anyone has any experience with this type of issue please let me know. I didnt touch anything that would have anything to do with the security system. I do have a UTEC which we tried to unplug from the ECU but the problem still occured. As of today I am going to try and go to the dealer on Monday and see what they can figure out.
What a pain.....

I've seen that with fords (I work at a ford dealer) the module for the keyfob could be bad, I don't know how nissan works there keyfobs, but in fords theres a module usually in the rear that the keyfob uses and when it goes bad that can happen, just a thought...

Thanks. Ya hopefully tomorrow I can get to the dealer and ask them whats going on. Was going to leave the car at Nissan before I couldnt start it but with extreme hail and tornado warnings (sighting in the area) I am glad its not starting in my garage.
