Always go back to your last step, you car was up and running, then you put the turbo timer on,tested it and it ran but the next morning it didn't wanna start. I would check the obvious.

Dead starter.... happend to me this weekend in the beater.

Went to work, everything was all good.

Left for work, turn the key, nothing. All lights work and everything else, but won't turn over.

Try to roll start it.... it's a pretty ghetto way to start a car, but if it starts that way, your starter took a dump.

It's easy to fix, it took me about 20 minutes to pull it from a "parts car" and put it in mine. Works good now.

I think its a 200sx CA18ET starter, but I'm not 100% on that. I can almost guarentee its not a FWD pulsar starter though.
