05/89 NISSAN 300ZX Z32

For months now I feel as though my car has become a plauge rather than enjoyment, this to me is wrong. Our relationship began with a carsh.. repairs.. j-spec swap.. numerous evaluation's.. and pure loving desire.

Mission #1
With an imported 1991 NA in my 1989/1990 domestic NA it was excitement to bring my Fairlady back to life. After numerous failded trouble shots it all boiled down to the fuel filter being backwards.

Mission #2
After resuscitation it became aparent that an injector was out. So along doing things the cheap way [new manifold to lower intake gasket, new lowest injector seats, and my domestic fuel rail and injector's] my uncle suggested to check output of the injector's before reassembly...well.. 4 cranks later she refuses to start. And now AFTER reassembly she still wont speak.
With the clutch switch engaged, me turning over the key, some relay's click [exterior d/s wheelwell; ABS; fuel controller] though when I go to start it, there is nothing. And yet (clutch switch engauged) I jumped the starter today (1of10 times) it pertruded to the flywheel, but mostly just spins stationary. When I saw the crank turn for a mere 2 seconds I was happy, but sadly it did not start.

note*
_I had only disconnected the manifold plugs [Exhaust sensors / Air Controller's / Camshaft Selonoid's / Manifold Ground's (3) / Throttle Positioning Sensor] I had reconnected the injector's and fuel temp sensor. Now that I think about it the camshaft selonoid's and also the coilpack's should probably have been connected . Anyone's input?
_With a flashlight and my naked eye, I couldn't see anything.

_The battery is sufficiently charged.
_I am very inexperienced, but have come to learn alot and I do not want to be beaten.

Is there something specific in my service and repair manual that I have not found yet?

Thanks for taking the time and any input is graciously appriciated!

I have a multi-meter, with DC [-] @ 15V [+], from the starter's selenoid power 'nub' to grounding on casing, the indicator hardly moves [I believe "continuity" is the term], the manual says this is bad, but I need to know I'm doing correct procedure.

hopefully they dont bend you over in repair costs.. I wonder what fuse was bad? If you heard clicking in the d/s wheel well, thats where the starter solenoid is located and its not uncommon for it to go bad.

lol, I've bent so far I've successfully done a flip. 8 solid hours of overlooking for my low beam's not coming on; this was apparently due to my lack of wiring in the glove box light.
