Sounds like you need a new starter relay. They aren't cheap for this car either. Majestic lists them for $150 US. From my experience, most all starter relays are rebuildable by someone who specializes in automotive electronics (starters, alternators, etc). I had the OEM relay in my 240SX rebuilt locally for $30 CDN. If you don't want to fork out $150 for a new part, that's another option.

Did you check all the fuses under the dash and in the engine bay...
I had a fault in my wiring harness and it caused my car not to start... I found that the relay fuse in the engine bay was blown.....
It is the fuse panel on the passenger side of the car...
I would suggest you check all fuses before you satrt replacing things,.....

I'll check this right now... If that doesn't work i'll have to try to rebuild the starter.... ok i'll post if anything comes about with the fuses.

 

Sounds like your starter solenoid has gone bad. However, it could simply be a corrosion issue. Check to see if the battery connections are intact and clean, then check the wire from the battery to the starter/solenoid. Check all connections for corrosion or simply being loose.

A quick fix would be tapping the starter/solenoid with a hammer to loosen it up. Make sure you dont cause a short doing so.

 

You say your hear a click, can you hear the engine turning over? Before you go buy anything, check your spark plugs. I had a bad set a few months ago. Worked for 2 weeks and then I experienced the same problem you seem to be having. I was a little peeved (yet relieved) when I checked everything "else" before even considering the plugs. But it only clicked once and then I could hear the engine trying to turn over real slowly.
