ive bought an 86 300zx a few months ago for 1100 and drove it home the owner told me it only needed a battery and tires so i did what any z owner dose and took care of my new found love... when i got it home i started to work on her bc i very quickly found out it wasnt fast enough for me so i did took of the ac and cruse control and Carol canastor put an electric fan on it then the car sat for a few months bc i didnt want to drive it in the snow... ok now that you have the background on the car here is my problem...

after letting it sit i went to fire it up only to find out that the battery was bad so i put a new battery in it and my friend was helping my at the time he put the battery in backwards .. i didnt know it at the time but i double checked before i started it i switched it to how it need to be now the car will not start and stay running at all its not getting fuel to the motor so i assume my relay switch is bad or the fuel pump is bad i cant find the fuel pump.. i removed the back seats and carpet to find it but its not there and i cant find the fuel relay switch to replace it ive been told so many things on where its at and still cant find it i know its a little blue box... but thats about it..
thanks for the time to read this

If you browse xenon and az zbums sites you might find a fuse panel diagram, I know xenon has the fsm in pdf form for download. All of your fuses should be good, just check them all. Fuel pump on the 2 seater requires the tank to be dropped, not sure ont he 2+2. As for making the car faster, well it helps to start wiht the lighter 2 seater, remove everything not needed to stop, go or turn. Beyond that the n/a just doesn't have a lot of potential, the turbo swap is pretty simple and opens up almost endless power potential.

again, read through xenon and az zbums sites the swap is covered in detail. Front crossmember, driivers exhaust manifold, turbo, downpipe, oil lines, oil pan, ecu and injectors, not difficult for me, for some it might be.
