Id open your hood, play with the sensor wires (if you can find them) it should start though... I don't know what is up with it...

Did it throw a CEL???

I think your car is running alittle on the hot side. You should check your Coolant.

I see nothing wrong with it. Try hitting the starter with a hammer.

I know this may sound obvious, but did you check if your battery is dead.

You are all wrong, Its simple. You didnt put any blinker fluid in the blinker fluid bottle thus you ran out making the generator run hot and it blew up. I would also check the flux capacitor, I guess you didn't know but nissan had a recall on them due to the fact banana peels make them blow up. Oh well there's always waxing.

Hmm... no clue, drop by the dealership, see what they think, I'm sure they'll figure the problem out.

But till then, i'm clueless...

lol wow, this is entertaining... im still shocked that no one has figured it out, well since it was obviously low on blinker fluid and the bananas didn't help the flux capacitor, and the battery is a new optima and the TB was cleaned AND whitened with crest, I'd go with Dubbya's response and hit the starter with a hammer,



(BTW i hope i can really find out what "lowered" that max, )

this is what happens when you take your car past the 88mph with a plutonium powered car like maximas... only time will tell and btw that nismo drop looks awesome and fashioned burn marks, I think those def. make it faster by at least 20mph.
