Most likely it's the corroded wire connection in the wire bundle running on top of the "frame" rail under the fuel filter. BTDT, it's been written up and pictured up here on the forum somewhere, you'll find it if you search.

Here is the thread:

Main wire harness break that prevents starting

As a temp. workaround I have run a separate wire from the ignition switch to the relay.

Moderator, I see I just replied to what appears to be a double post by OP. This would be more helpful for future readers in the Gen1 Maxima (1981-84) "starting circuit" thread, can you move it there, thanks!
