WTF is going on with my car?
Day 1:
Radio wouldn't turn on; had to replace a blown fuse
Day 2:
HKS EVC6 boost controller won't turn on, but the car still boosted fine, so the UTEC wasn't an issue.. yet.
A week later:
Drove the Z to a car show over an hour away. It drove/boosted fine, but when I got off the final exit, it couldn't idle without shutting off.
After the show:
Car has a tough time starting. I hear the starter, but the car doesn't crank. Eventually it cranks after three tries and I proceed to drive home.
On the way home:
NO BOOST! The Z was running completely NA (Maybe the UTEC wasn't getting power?). I drove home, making sure I didn't go over 4k rpms, just in case.
When I got home:
I parked the car and left it alone for an hour. I later tried starting it again and there was no use… All I hear is a buzzing noise, but the car won't crank.
So at this point my HKS EVC6 doesn't turn on, the car doesn't boost, and now it won't even crank...
WTF IS GOING ON!!!???
A few people are coming to look at the car this week. What should they be looking for?

I've always had really good luck with the nissan OEM battery. I got over five years on the orginal battery before I replaced it.
If you have an aftermarket audio system maybe upgrade.
Edit: I have not had good luck with NAPA batteries, FWIW.

Everything was done a year ago and worked perfectly up until this point.

Yeah the boost controller is one power wire tapped into the fuse box. The utec is plug and play so its probably not either of those.
I would look into the car stereo side of things. Good luck man.

why would the stereo system or short circuits cause this?
Same day, after finally getting the Z to start:
Car wouldn't boost… f*ck…I drove the car home, parked it, tried starting it an hour later and now it doesn’t start at all… I hear the starter, but it's not catching the flywheel…
