The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.

If your 96 Nissan won't start and when you turn the key there is a rapid clicking noise in the engine-How can you tell if it's the starter or a switch?
The clicking noise is most likely relay chatter. If you turn the key and hear a clicking noise and the engine does not crank, this usually a sign of a low battery (or a short). Check the battery first. If the battery is good there may be a short in the electrical system. Start with the ignition switch. Remove the four screws on the bottom of the steering column. Then lift off the top half of the steering column. Inspect the wiring and try to tighten any loose connections. Make sure the pos. & neg. battery leads are in good order (especially the neg. lead.)
