I've had this 300ZX fo about 20 years now it's a naturally asperated z32 soft top jap import it's been standing for some time, tryed to start it recently and nothing happens thought at first the starter motor was stuck but my son who is a mechanic has checked this and it is fine and works when he gives it power we located the starter relay and that seems fine too but there is no signal getting from the ignition to the starter motor and we can not get it to fire we are trying to find the inhibitor switch on the auto gear box now to see if that is working the battery is fine but we are getting nothing to work from the ignition what are we missing here, are common faults that prevent these cars from starting from the key any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated thankyou

Anyone know why putting a new engine in would cos this to have problems?
Problem started the first time I turned the car on.??
you wrote
37 Check the 10 amp ( red ) fuse marked "engine cont" this is located on the inner wing under the bonnet in the large black relay and fuse box.
Possible a cable shorted out for this circuit at some stage.

I have checked the fuse and the engine cont one is blown. I replaced it and as soon as I turned on the car it bloew again.
Can you please help me sort this problem out as it seems you really know your oats.
