Please help car hard starts

So since I've had my g it has taken forever to start. Literally the only problem with the car mechanically ( that's why I bought it). The douche I bought it from said it was the fuel pump so I replaced that and nothing changed. Then I scanned it and it said P0335 crankshaft sensor malfunction. So I replaced that... 3 times, 2 times with auto part store sensors and finally with the original from the dealership. But if course nothing. So I finally took it to a mechanic. One couldnt figure it out, one figure it out said my flywheel wasn't timed. So he was going to time it for me. But then he noticed it was warped. So he shaved it down best he could and it did help, my car went from 10 mins to start to 6 seconds everytime. He then tells me to just save money and buy the clutch and flywheel obviously. That was a few months ago, and finally I bought the parts on black Friday from Z1, so I took it to a mechanic to put in m I didn't take it too the guy who figured it out because he Is very far, definitely my mistake. But I took it to a highly rated mechanic who works on 240s and such. That was last week that I took it to him. Yesterday he tells me " hey bad news ur car isn't fixed, we put everything in and it still hard starts" I no joke wanted to cry. Like I got so excited to finally have my stupid g not taking an hour to start. So basically idk what to do anymore and I need help. Obviously no damn mechanic seems to know either! Please help!

You didn't mention what you paid for this vehicle but you made a BIG mistake by not having it thoroughly inspected by an Infiniti dealer and negotiate any of its numerous defects deducted from the purchase price.

Either pay a dealer to correctly diagnose/resolve the issues or sell it if you can find another douche to buy it.

Well I bought the car for 2500 the sports package with brembos. So yea ik it would have issues but the only issue was the interior was disgusting and that start issue. And I was dumb enough to belive it was just the fuel pump because I've heard that before. When u buy off Craigslist u don't get amazing cars, everyone knows that. And the dealership is just as bad. Rn I'm taking it to a Infiniti specialist to find out the issue. But ik it's electrical now. Because they took the intake off and sprayed started fluid and it instantly started. So obviously the injectors aren't firing off properly. And how about u give some helpful info instead of insinuating I'm a douche, pal!

Any resolution here? I wish you would have posted before you bought the clutch/flywheel. Also a posted video of the issue would have helped. I'm not even certain how a flywheel could suddenly be not timed.

Sounds like you're taking the vehicle to mechanics that either don't know EXACTLY how the system works or who don't have the proper tools to diagnose the problem.

$125 labor for a one hour diagnostic from Nissan would have saved a lot of headache.

Is the engine cranking at normal speed?

How old is the battery?

How long has it been since all the chassis/engine bonding jumpers have been cleaned?

Has anyone tested fuel pressure?

When we're the spark plugs changed last and exactly which plugs were used? Have they been pulled and inspected recently?

How many miles are on the engine?

Have the cam sensors been tested?

All these things can cause start issues.
