A bit hard to say without seeing it.

Have you left it for 6 months because it wouldn't start or just haven't used it for 6 months?

I'm not too far away from you in Rickmansworth if you want some help to look at it?

On some cars if the voltage drops below 10.5v the ecu will shut down but starter will still turn over. Is the battery in a good state of charge?

Was it left with a lot of fuel in it, perhaps the petrol is shot and wont fire?

Could be the key as well. Try www.350z-uk.com for help, i've had a couple of these and they are quite a knowledgeable bunch.
