Post Re: Gtr won't crank
When you are hooking jumper cables straight to starter - big sparks and no turn = shorted starter, or stuck shaft ... no sparks and no turn = most likely stuck brushes (or badly worn).

If it is the brush situation, tap (don't wail ) the lower part of the starter where the brushes are - a lot of times it will free up the stuck brushes

Post Re: Gtr won't crank
The starter relies on the solenoid to engages the bendix and transfers power to a set of contactors to power the starter's motor. If the solenoid is froze up nothing will happen but sparks, but IF the solenoid is working and the starter is froze you should hear the distinct click/ actuation of the solenoid engaging the bendix / power contactors then sparks.

Also, are your battery leads getting hot?

I am getting no noise at all when turning the key. It looks like somehow saltwater corroded around the screws pretty good on the starter. Haven't noticed the wires getting hot.
