I own a completely stock S13 1991 SE 240sx.
Except for an aftermarket stereo unit installed.

My cars been sitting around for like a month outta service (worn out clutch) and the brake pedal is kinda loose so it drained my brand new 3 month old battery to nothing. I wanted to start my car to get all the fluids moving around in there, so I decided to ask my friend to jump start it. We got the cables hooked up and everything was cool. It was running fine.

Here's where the shit started, lol. I don't know if this matters or not but my friend was messing around with the throttle body in the front, pulling it, and suddenly the wire fell out of place and the engine revved up to what i saw was 5,000 or 6,000 he ran around to take the key outta the ignition. He shut the car down while the engine was still revving that high.

I laughed and thought everything was fine until I restarted the car, the electrical system was totally fucked!

The dash lights are not working, brake lights, hazards, power windows, power locks, HUD. The only kind of electrical thing I know for sure is working is my headlights haha.

Well anyway, I checked the fuses and they don't look burnt I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions I know you guys are experts.

Double checked all the fuses, specially inside the engine bay. Almost sounds like you popped the main fuse (75A if I remember correctly for S13s).

Are you talking about those fat square looking ones? With bright colors? Those are fuses as well?

I don't remember being this retarded when I was 21.

Start learning how to check on electrical on cars. The 240sx is stupidly simple compared to modern cars.

Pep boys/o Reilly's/autozone?

No, you need to buy the voltmeter and learn how to use it to see whether the fuse is dead or not. Otherwise, you be ending up spending money on parts that were actually good to begin with.
