Default Cannot get car to start after head gaskets. Please help!

My buddy has a 06 350z over at my house as of a couple weeks ago that he did head gaskets on and it has not ran since. I'm running out of ideas on it for why it won't start. It's not getting spark and I've replaced both exhaust cam sensors. With the exhaust cam sensor unplugged on the driver head it will spark and kinda backfire through the intake some. I've timed this car 4 times and found a couple grounds and the knock sensor unplugged and still have had no luck getting it to run. I'm not much a Nissan guy so I'm not sure where to start next. Is it possible that he could have put the cams in wrong on that side? On my scanner with the car cranking that cam has more advance than the one on the other side. Think bank 1 has about -45ish and this one has like 35ish

Double check that the cam sensor plugs are connected to the correct sensor. CHeck the FSM but the colors (green and black) are not the same from one bank to the other. One back has the intake one color and the exhaust another while the other bank is reversed.

Yea it gets fuel. That must be it. He has both green connectors on the intake and both black connectors on the exhaust. I will try in the morning. I've been working on it the past 5 hours. I found 5 out of the 6 coil pack connectors were plugged into the wrong coil. It now runs with that cam sensor unplugged. it would crank up quick too
