I found an old post in which the starter wasn't getting enough amperage to turn over due to having used too small of wires for the NSS clutch switch in manual swapped cars. I used a relay that powers the starter off the battery, starts up every time now.

The first solution proposed here is a band-aid fix - I'm really hoping to acquire the knowledge necessary to find out what is really WRONG here, and correct it as such. Hence my main point of my post - to find wiring schematics and/or physical component locations, as well as seeing if the OP has any new light to shed on their situation that would be beneficial knowledge to the rest of us.
My NSS is nothing but a control circuit - there is no current flowing through it, (certainly didn't route the 30amps for the starter solenoid through it!) so the gauge of wiring used should be of little to no consequence. Additionally, I did the set-up I did after several "Q&A" sessions with Huck, who is and has been running a similar setup on his 5speed swapped cars for quite a while without issue.
