Best Method to Replace Starter on 1993 Pickup

I have replaced the starter and the relay and I still don't get the starter to start I have checked the switch on the cluch to see if that was the problem and it seems to be working fine. What else could it be ????

a '93 manual here ... as 94 was the last year for the pickup shouldn't be any changes:

TAKE DISTRIBUTOR CAP OFF TURN IGNITION OVER SEE IF DISTRIBUTOR BUTTON TURNS.IF SO IT IS MOST LIKELY IGNITION MODULE.IF IT DOESN'T IT MAY HAVE SHEERED THE LOOK PIN IN SHAFT EITHER WAY ITS NOT VERY HARD TO FIX.((IF ITS A 4CYL 8PLUG CAP MAY BE JUMPING FIRE))

usually easier to get to from under truck with a long extension

if it is a 4x4 V6 take it to a shop you have to take off the timing belt & retime the the damn thing because the water pump is behind the belt good luck .

From your description, you probably have a few broken teeth on your flywheel. A way to confirm this is to place the transmission in gear, release the brake and rock the truck back and forth a Little. Take it back out of gear and try it again. If the starter engages, it has confirmed my suspicion. This is the most common finding for the symptom you have described. I have rarely run across a started drive gear failure on a Nissan product, bar none, since 1968 until now! IF, however the test I have given you has not resolved the problem, this means that the solenoid has not kicked the starter drive gear out far enough, the drive gear it self has failed or the starter is loose causing the drive gear to be too far from the flywheel teeth to contact. The latter is a 1 a 100,000 shot!
You question has been answered by mybunkey, an old school Nissan master tech,. I hope my answer has proven to be useful.

I have a '95. It's behind the passenger side tire. Remove tire and rock guard if you have one--couple of screws--and you can easily access it. two bolts facing rear of car, two connections up front. Honestly it was the easiest replacement I've ever done. Just disconnect your battery first.
