I have a 1985 300ZX with a 1994 Z32 VG30DETT swapped into it. I bought the swap a while ago. I had the ECU wiring redone by Z Specialists, replaced the Coils, sparkplugs, ECU, CAS, I’m running a Z31 Maf and it works perfectly. But it crapped out on me a few days ago and I have no idea why. I checked the main relays, ECCS, COILS, and the fuel pump relay. Nothing seems to be out of sorts and I was literally driving it days ago with no problems. I just don’t know what’s wrong. Please help

Having had a custom swap done and also having had a specialty shop tackle wiring, unless you are mechanically inclined the best bet seems to be to have the shop go over their work or be used to find the issue. Other than normal fault tests (power balance, continuity checks, etc.) there's little we can suggest from here...

Got spark? Got Fuel? Figure out what you don't have first. Probably just a bad, cas, ptu, or fuel pump.

Question: does it run without the MAF? Is it an N62 with the orange label?

As stated above, the PTU could definitely be bad.
