No need to tow it, figured out how to make it start, run, and drive (most of the time in limp mode) every single time I hit the start button... I have brought it to 2 Nissan dealerships, they see the lambo doors, and full exhaust on it, and won't even plug a code reader into the obd port. Nissan dealerships refuse to touch it with mods apparently.

I have plugged the crank sensor back in, and I can get it to start every try by unplugging the passenger side cam sensor. If I unplug only the driver side, won't start. Unplug only the crank sensor, starts 2nd try every time. Unplug the passenger cam sensor only, and it fires up first shot but is a little hesitant. Me and my brother have figured out that you can start the car with all 3 sensors plugged in if we unscrew the passenger side cam sensor, and rotate it clockwise about 15-20 degrees.

So we bring it back to the mechanic that originally changed the crank sensor, since they are the only ones around here that will touch it. Showed them what we found, and they said they don't think its a timing problem, but they keep the car and check it out some more. Called me couple days later and said that the driver side intake cam is 10 degrees off timing compared to pasenger side. So they said they feel like correcting that would solve my problem...

So today I get a call and the voice mail said they have very good news for me... They had originally quoted me $1700 to retime that cam. The 'good news' they had for me was they had found some debris in the oil pickup tube, so they didn't have to retime the motor after all... How a stopped up oil tube means that the motor is no longer out of time is beyond me, but we will see if that magically fixes the problem or not. All I know is if they replace the oil tube and it still don't run right and they try to charge me $1700 on top of the oil tube job they are doing now, I'm gonna go ballistic on them...
