hey nico club i had a quick question i have a 93 240sx with the dual cam my starter whent out so i changed it but now it just makes a click noise everytime i try to turn it on the battery is brand new so i thaught it was the wiring so wat i did was connected a positive line from the battery to the starter to check if it was wiring but it still clicked so i looked it up and i found that it could be my starter relay but i cant seem to find it any ideas of where it can be or what else could be causing the problem?? thanks guys

wow. Periods are your friend man.
Look in the electrical section (EL) and there is a starting system tab. When you click on that it brings up a diagram of everything your talking about.

Do a quick check of your fuses?

I know you said it's a new battery, but just try a jump start or a buddies battery. You'd be surprised.

the relay you are asking about is behind your battery. remove battery and its the blue relay. go to nissan not autozone type store. like 40 bucks.

Multimeter! Check voltage of your battery first, or have autozone do it for you. It might be a new battery but you may also have a drain or attempted to start it too many times.

+1 for double checking your battery.

On a side note if you wired the starter straight to the battery then doesnt that bypass the relay, and elimate that as the problem. Faulty sylinoid on the new starter?
