Drain? Short? Bad alternator? - SR20 powered s14

Hey frankies, thanks for the reply!

I don't have a sub or an amp, but I do have a few gauges in the car. It seems like the last owner disconnected a bunch of stuff and left wires going here there and everywhere making diagnosis that bit harder.

Today I went through the car with my multi meter removing fuses one by one to see which is causing the battery to drain, I must have checked 40 fuses inside and in the engine bay and none of them stopped the negative terminal to negative cable voltage showing 12.8 volts, making me think that maybe something is actually wired up without a fuse or a component may not be correctly earthed, are there any good tests for this?

I checked the grounding of the negative cable and I debrided the earthing point which was right next to the battery to ensure that the connection was strong. It seems to be pretty well hooked up.

Not sure if the previous owner has relocated the fuse box or if it's just badly designed but in the drivers side footwell you can see things are alittle messy.

At this point I'm at a loss, the engine fires up great but in worried it's going to shit out on me again.
