Topic moved to the correct forum.

Welcome to NICO! Sorry to hear that your car is having trouble. I'm not all too well versed in your vehicle, but can offer an option for you.

Here at NICO, we have Factory Service Manuals available free to members. Take a look at the link in my signature and find the FSM for your car and you'll have all the info you'll ever need to make the repair and try to diagnose it for yourself while help is on the way.

I have run across a few cars lately, from the 90's, when the brake lights stopped working, the auto will not shift out of park. This is a safety feature for a lot of cars.

Start with the brake switch
There is also a little green box by I think the driver tail light, behind the paneling inside the "trunk" area. This is known to go out or cause issues.
Check fuses

Like Rogue stated, there is a FSM under "everything you need to know about Z32". Look under that and search, but electrical issues suck no matter how you look at it.
