Hey what's up guys, i just bought myself a 2003 protege. I used to own a 91 240sx which can be seen here. So far the car is great, i love driving it. I picked it up with it having 5100 miles, I paid 15k, Its such a change going from a rwd car to fwd turbo car, with all the torque steer, but i guess i'll get used to it. I've been doing some research on this board and I hope to just do some basic mods this coming summer. Nothing to major, just a intake, catback, some springs, tint the windows, and a boost controller and run about 10 psi, and a bov. Also this is my first turbo car so i don't know to much about it. Well here's some pics.

I'm from NJ, Hey guys i have a question, the car came with a turbo timer and i have no instructions for it or anything and when i turn off the car it doesn't stay on and idle, I have it set to auto but it just shuts off after i shut off the ignition.

Does anyone have any instructions online on how i can set it. Um...i think its a blitz DC II or something.

Thanks for the warm welcome
 
Sweet! You won't regret your purchase. At least I hope not. You also seem to have gotten a good deal. I paid $16,900 for mine with about 8k miles on it. I know I paid a lot for a used one, but I had to have a Spicy Orange and I was willing to pay a premium to get it at the time I was shopping for one. Either way, congrats and welcome aboard. This is a good group, and you'll learn a lot here.
 
Damn, I miss my '91 240sx! Love my 'speed better, but that was a pretty nice car. I had the "hicas" 4-wheel steering option, and man that thing handled well! But I've got the better car, now!
 
Welcome to the site & CONGRATS on the MSP!

I guess no one noticed his radiator hose...it looks like it's covered in something. At first I thought maybe it was a coolant leak, but it wouldn't have that much. :confused:

I noticed the radiator hose right away. It definitely looks like something is wrong there...

Yea i don't know i haven't found anything leaking that would cause this, I'm going to go to the dealer soon for a oil change, i'll have them check it out.

But again thanks guys for the warm welcome.
