so before i even start thanx for the alternator help last week i have that figured out but now i have no fuel pressure. so i am wondering where the fuel pump relay is i checked the fuses and one was blown but since the cover for the fuse panel isn't there i dont know what fuse is what but i replaced it and still no pressure.i took the line off and it smelled very stale so im guessing it gummed up the fuel pump but i would rather check the relay before shelling out the money for a new pump. incase your wondering why i have stale gas in my z is because i bought it at a auction as a total loss. it is a 86 titanium metalic paint not sure what the factory paint code is it only has 124000km on it. everything lookes well taken care i think the engine was rebuilt because its shiny and the oil is brand new looking. exept i thnk it was curbed and the front bumper cover is buggerd and the bottoms of the fenders are pushed up. i redid sway bar ball joints alternator and timing belt even though it looked not bad and a new water pump cause it was right there but pretty good other than that and the frame might be bent. it ran ok when i drove it the 5 blocks home till the battery ran low then it sputtered so i know the fuel pump worked before.so any fuel pump help would be great.also if any bod has a idea of the cost of frame straightening versus the headach of buying a better frame and swapping parts.plz help

Please use sentences to form complete thoughts.

Please use paragraphs to better organize yourself.

Once you revise I will be happy to read it.

Jesus, this isn't a f-ing text message to your girlfriend, its a technical forum. I agree with Red, I can't even begin to figure out what you're trying to say.

I can't remember the exact location, but i know you can find it in the FSM download it from CarFiche, and I think Xenon has a FSM you can download from his site... and given the fact that Z31s are uni-body, you would be much more better off to buy a decent body and swap the parts over.

>anyone know where the fuel pump relay is ?

Thats at least a complete sentence. The fuel pump relay is behind the plastic interior panels, in the side of the car, right next to the passenger seat.

I tried to skim read it and shiny motor and clean oil don't mean nothing to me. I could clean up a 1970's engine with a million k's on it and do an oil cheange and it would still look newish and people would be like OMG, and I would be like yeah it IS a new engine :) .

Secondly where on the frame is it bent, you can't give us a bunch of giberish hoping for us to be psychic. Go buy yourself a Haynes service manual for starters and read how english should be set out for people to read easily.

I'm not one to jump on the grammer/puntuation bandwagon, but geez, this stuff is pathetic. If you could get it to a 4th, maybe, 5th grade level it would surely help in conveying thoughts.
