BUll shit on dropping the tank, i replaces mine on my 98 about 6 times and never dropped the tank, just make sure you have about 1/4 tank of gas or less so you can reach it. you just thave to pull up the carpet on the pass through, then disconnect the tree hoses and un clip the wireing, then you have to unscrew the big white plat thing that seals the top of the tank.
once you have that off GET GLOVES, then follow the wireing down and into the tank and un-hook the pump and bracket. BE SURE to take note of how it goes in, a FSM can divulge the exact way, but basically it is a metal bracket that slides into two metal hoks in the tank. that is how you get the pump out.
and easy way to tell if the pump is working wou d be to disconect your fuel ine to the motor, and then get a frient to turn the key to the acc position briefly, if fuel comes out you are good and you don't need to mes around with all the damn hassle of geting to the pump. ALSO if someon replaces to a 300ZX fuel filter, sometimes the weight and length of that can cause a pinch in the rubber fuel hose to cause starvation like yuo are talking about , check all your rubber hoses under the hood to make sure that they are not kinked, it happens if you don't place the filter in the exact right position.
lastley is a a walbro or a regular fuel pump? i had some starvation issues with my walbro, in the end it was that the outlet nipple brok on it, so if you do go back there, make sure that the outlit hose has a solid connection on the nipple of the pump for staters.
but seriously, you really don't want to go through the hassle of getting to the fuel pump unless you are absolutley sure that is the problem.
