Car previously started but it took several times turning the key for it to start. Replaced the starter and still doesn't crank. What could it be? Someone please help I need the car running asap

Could be many things.. What else have you tried so far? starter switch? Checked battery cables? Everything properly connected???

Start with the basics and go from there.

Good battery?
Fuel?
Spark?

9 times out of 10 that will lead you to what your problem is.

test light
phone
multimeter

test the starters main power wire for 12v or battery voltage
take your phone set to record, connect test light to trigger wire and ground, turn key to start, then off then start then off. get phone watch video for test light activity. if there is activity use the multmeter to verify 12v or battery voltage on the trigger. if your meter doesn't have a memory function that is.

the problem could be the ign switch or anything in between. or poor voltage, start signal yada yada yada user

Look at the bottom left side of your car right behind the passanger side head light you will see a blue relay, one that is longer than usual and has two plugs going into it, it's directly bolted to the inside of then fender, this is all assuming it's an s13, this is the starter relay that sporadically will stop working and eventually just die. This should be your problem, again if it's an s13.

Where is the battery located? and yea the standard check for power at the solenoid trigger. Is the battery cable to the starter sufficient enough? Is the flywheel in s weird spot? Try rotating the engine over w couple times.
