Tried to start it in park, no go. Tried to start in N. Fired right up?

My friend and Nico member dropped his s13 off at my house to try and trouble shoot it or part it, if we can't figure it out.

Removed erroneous wiring from dash, Rolled up his Drivers window before it rained for days. Gonna swap alts and go through fuses and wiring. Worse case scenario, I have a running motor for my project hatch to get rolling.

So I know not everyone here does much in the audio department of their car, but we dropped Rockford Fosgate at my work and I picked up a LOT of equipment for cheap. (I mean like a P3 for 70% off, and almost everything else the same.) Right now i only have pictures of the materials and before pics because it started raining and I couldn't finish. Should have most of these wires ran by tomorrow.

I am using 4 Alpine Type-R Coax Speakers, 6.5 inches on all four corners. One P3 subwoofer. I am also hooking up a 4 channel amp to power the speakers, and one monoblock amp to power the sub. I haven't picked out Amplifiers yet but I have a friend letting me borrow his until I can pick some up. All wiring for speakers is going to be high quality monster speaker wire (Purchased at like 80% off). On to the Photos.

MATERIALS:

Before shot of the trunk:

Rear Passenger Seat where I plan on mounting the amps:

Image


Rear speakers test fitted. The Yellow stuff is going to get trimmed / cut. It was put in to act as a sealed chamber because the convertibles have absolutely NOTHING but exterior panels behind the rear speakers. This keeps a lot of the sound in the car and will improve dynamics and keep some road noise out. It was put in by previous owner, but I am going to clean it up. A LOT.

f*** of wires:

Image

Cleaning Process / Zip-Tying the 3 RCA Cables together:

Image

Meeting everything up and running it with body harness to rear of vehicle (Monster Wire, Rockford RCAs (x3), and remote wire.):

Image


That's about it for now, I'll have pics of the finished product(s) tomorrow. Won't have amps mounted and boxes made until after Thursday however.

Thanks for viewing.

Spilled Coca-Cola on the passenger seat...Not too sure how to clean it up.

I've already dried it with paper towels. But I don't think that really cleans it up. I can't use just water, it'll probably get moldy on the inside.

Anybody have some tips or suggestions for me?

removed the rear subframe with everything still attached. then undid all the 20 year old stuck bolts. i took it off my parts car so my plan is to redo all the bushings in the knuckles and subframe, sand, paint, all new suspension arms, and then pop it on my car when its done.
