Default 370z won't start. Help appreciated.

I recently swapped my engine out of my z to another VQ from a auto G37. I don't have any history of the car it was extracted from. I did a compression test and everything looks good.
I took my time with the swap to ensure everything went well. Every single nut, bolt, and connector was labeled or in a labeled bag.

After the swap, the car would crank endlessly, but would not start. I was getting cam sensor, and throttle body codes. I reset the ecu and throttle. Still nothing. Went through the entire harness, possibly 30 times by now, to ensure that every single thing was plugged in.
The car was getting fuel, getting compression, but did not seem to get spark. I unplugged the crank sensor and the car hesitantly started in limp mode.
I replaced the crank sensor, still no go. I have to have bank 1 cam sensor unplugged for the car to start again. If it is plugged in while he car is running, the car just shuts off.

After replacing the cam solenoids, oil pressure, cam, and crank sensors, I received new codes;
P0340( camshaft positioning sensor A circuit bank 1 or single sensor) bank 1 crank sensor up front is new.

P1092

I am stumped. I don't know if the timing is off. I swapped over my sensors and original harness. My last engine started and drove on command( but had a spun bearing). I checked relays and fuses, everything looks good.

I would take it to the dealer but they black listed my vin( long story short: they broke a part that I had to pay for, along with their labor, and couldn't afford a lawyer at the time.)

My car is a 6mt w/ sport pkg.
