Hey guys,

So I recently bought a 300ZX Z32 (pics in the Newbie part)
It refused to start so I been checking everything from the relay to the fuel filter to the fuse etc.

So I then started to check the fuel pump as I didn't hear it engage when I put the car on contact. Turns out there's no signal wire connected to the fuel pump. So I'm like, okay, let's see if we can find the wire and then just connect it.

I took out all the rear panels in the car and even the rear seat to check where the wire might be, and... I am missing my FCPU and pretty much all wiring towards the rear (for all the rear lights, which hadn't been working either but I hadn't checked yet what the reason for that could be as it's lower on teh priority list)

My question is:
What do I need to connect everything up to factory? I'm relatively new to working on cars (have been around cars all my life but only now really working seriously with them to fix mine)
I'm guessing something like a "tailgate wiring harness" but does that also include the wiring for the fuel pump or is that separate? Does anyone have any pics of how the wiring should be?

Here's some pics how it is currently

Trunk with rear seats removed ^

Driver side quarter panel inside, missing the FPCU ^

Fuel pump ^

Any help would be appreciated, whether it's links to stuff I need to buy or images that show how I need to wire things up etc ^^ 

Thanks!!

Yeh,

Looks like its been used for parts on a previous life.

Although never seen a zed that required replacement back end harness.

 

Has it been cut at the fuse box or has it all been unplugged as its a big bloody harness to take out carefully.

 

I haven't found any cut wires but on the other hand I also haven't taken the entire car apart ^^
Everything at the front works (horn, lights, alarm lights, wipers, starter motor etc), so it's really everything towards the back they took out

I'd recommend getting in touch with a breaker. There's one here in the UK who is decent, I'm sure if you send them a message they'll tell you what you need and likely have it for sale.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am in touch currently with someone that parts out a few, so hopefully I can get some stock wiring back ^^

Would a UK breaker still work ?

 

As its a left hand drive and american the harness will be reversed.

Good point, I do need a LHD harness

Thank you Bones, appreciate the detailed pics, they were very helpful. 
What's that black box in the last pic in between the chassis? I seem to be missing that one too

Hi that is the brake light controller.
