Have you checked the circuit with a tester? When you turn the key, is there voltage getting to the solenoid to tell it to engage the starter? If no juice, you need to follow the circuit back to the key, test every part of the circuit, could even be a bad key cylinder, or a bad connection if you replaced it. 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!
