first time start up issues. starter not cranking (ive searched a lot)

[ZootedS13]

ok my sr is in all wiring us plugged up correctly ive triple checked.the battery is in and i get power to all my lights and locks and windows. when i turned the key in the ignition i hear a click but nothing happens

here is what iv tryed so far.

battery was relocated and someone suggested its having a hard time getting power through the 2 gauge wire so i put the battery in the bay and plugged it strait up to the original positive and ground

thought it might be a ground issue so i grounded out the head and intake mani with small wires. when i cranked it they got super hot very fast so i changed the grounds to huge 1 gauge wire.

changed the starter ground to the one off the sr harness

in a post i found when i searched many people said it could be the two clutch sensors so i unplugged them, tried to crank, nothing. then i plug them back in, nothing.

battery is brand new and putting out good power.

another suggestion was the starter fuse? i looked on all 3 fuse boxes. none of them say anything about a starter fuse.

took a test light to the starter, its getting power.

if i take a screw driver or something metal and touch the starter power and ground together it starts working but doesnt start the car.

any help is appreciated ill keep searching in the mean time.
