The battery Positive (+) goes to the B (battery) terminal on the solenoid, and the Black wire (spade terminal) goes to the S (switch) terminal. The negative (-) from the battery gets connected to the starter near the ring gear (top left of photo). In the photo below, you'll also see a yellow wire that goes to a connector and then to a black wire with a ring terminal. That to gets connected to the ( terminal too.

As for a manual, look at the links in my signature. Also, search eBay and the classifieds here and on other Z car sites. A genuine Nissan factory service manual will pop up from time to time.
