So ive intoduce myself here before a while ago. owner of a 180sx from canada. i bought it, and it looked like this.
Image
thats when i was 15, couldnt drve so i just worked on it. got a kit, 300ZX brakes, S15 seats, yadda yadda yadda. till it looked like this
Image
new kit, semi fresh paint haha. Got my license, drove it hard that season frequently lurking the drift practice at the local track and going to all events when possible. had a hell of a time with my s13, great learning experience. One final cruise to the mountains at the end of the season
Image
Current interior. Bandana door cards & shift boot. Dildo shift knob, Momo sterring wheel, Carbon fiber center colsol.
Image
slapped some koukis' on her, FMIC, GT2876R, hks hipermaxx, just some simple stuff. Turbo needs injectors, afpr and a tune before she meets her fullest potential.
As she sits right now, im pulling all the dents out, putting the version select type x replica kit on, type x wing and roof spoiler on. Rims have yet to be decided, probably P45Rs for the time being.
Image
im stuck inbetween 2 colors, either dark red off of a 2010 yukon or LP2 midnight purple.

also, been having some problems
running into some electrical problems with my 180. Leads me to think a bad ground, but im not sure where to look.

1: fuel pump wiring went. got around that by hardwiring it so i could drive the rest of the season.
2: Speedo plays dead sometimes, usually after 10 min of driving it goes away.
3: Odometer stopped working. not such a bad thing.
4: Starter stopped working. just put a fresh one in, just clicks.
5: When i step on the breaks now, the arrow for left signal comes on, not the signal, just the little green arrow

Car had a ground kit on it when i bought it back in '08. took it off during battery relocation, ran fine for 2 years.

Guessing its ECU or an engine ground? As i said, not the most experienced with electrical problems.
Help would be appreciated.

It might be harder to find wiring diagrams for your jdm car, but there are plenty of 240sx wiring diagrams in the fsms: nicoclub.com/fsm
If you look at the diagrams you might be able to figure out why turn signal is finding its ground through the brake lights.
The speedo/odometer could possibly be your VSS, which might need to be replaced.
