Have you tested that the cylinder is sending juice towards the solenoid when the key is turned? The test meter is your best friend here. Ps- stop guessing and start testing.

How are your grounds?

Have you checked the fuse? I got lazy one time and tried to hook up the starter without disconnecting the battery in the trunk. Blew the 75A fuse, which is only available from nissan. Special order of course. What a pain the ass that was!

Power wire on the starter is getting juice in both positions, signal wire is getting juice in on position but not in start position, i have a test meter and i have traced the wiring but its very possible i over looked something.

"Key cylinder" is new from Nissan and is in working order.

As said in original post I have made sure every single ground is connected and making good contact. I'm 100% sure that the only ground that is un connected is the one by the brake master cylinder. But it will be re attached once I finish putting in my brake booster and 300zx master cylinder.

I haven't been lazy I am just not very good with tracing down electrical problems and wiring problems. I'm trying to get better at it and feel bad for bugging people online for answers to my problem but i am fed up with it and considering just buying a button to wire to my signal connection on my starter and do it like that. (although I would prefer to have it wired properly)
