I did exactly what you did and I flipped my usdm body harness upside down. Here's a tip...when you're doing the wiring for the turn signals the only thing I did was I matched all the wires to the jdm turn signals steering column controls. The thing is when you wire the turn signals that way color for color your turn signal indicators will contradict eachother lol. If I remember correctly when you turn the turn signal switch to the left your cluster indicator will blink right but the signal lights will blink correctly. Then when you switch to the turn signal to the right it'll make the cluster indicator blink left, but again the signal lights will blink correctly.

Here's the trick! Everyone is going to think you have to extend the turn signal wires from the right side to the left and vice versa. Honestly, that's to much damn work. When I did mine the only thing I did was switch the turn signal wires at the gauge cluster. Sounds way to simple right? Well in all seriousness that's all that needed to be done because everything works from the cluster. If I remember correctly the LH turn signal wire color is Green/black and the RH turn signal wire color is Green/Yellow. What I did was unpin those two wires and then switch them around. So the Green/black goes into the Green/yellow's spot and the Green/yellow goes into the Green/black's spot. You'll find these wires in the Center White plug that goes into the cluster. After I did that everything worked perfectly. You can reference cluster wiring colors with the NX1600 cluster swap wiring diagram. Lots of information there for 240sx cluster wire colors.

This thread brought back a ton of memories! If you have any questions at all let me know bro.

thank you soooo much for the info!! i think im going to utilize the JDM harness since it has those extra buttons specifically for the silvia's lights/other functions. the silvia wiring book that i bought, does have wire colors in it, and just seeing some for the lights and whatnot, they do match up for the most part.

cant wait to see more!

everyone seems to gripe about if a certain welder isnt one of the big 3 brands. i can say that compared to the Lincoln it does what they are both designed to for, WELDING.. i can see if the larger ones need heavy duty special equipment inside. they are close enough that if i need warranty work, i can throw it in the car and drive it there, instead of shipping it back..


I did stop by a small paint supply shop the other day and pick up some seam sealer/undercoating. i will probably go back and get a tube of 2 part seam sealer as well for where some of the corners meet..
