ok you need to know where your af/r's are, is boost solid, whats the condition of the fuel pump and filter.
still wondering what you are using for engine management.

wasn't too long ago I was a noob as well. just takes some time and research, or in my case, beers, a blown d15, cracked ebay manny, and a lot of "so this does that" theories lol. Lets start simple, post a picture of your engine bay to give us an idea what were working with.

Use the NGK v-power 1 or 2 step colder plug. Gap it to 0.030-0.028

Its ok, my GSR wont start either. It could be that its -3F outside and the wind is blowing straight into the front of my car. Gotta love winter

If it just clicks, that's the solenoid on the starter...it means that your battery is dead
