Did you check the red connector at the positive battery cable?

Your top won't work unless you bypass the neutral safety switch. couldn't tell from your post if you had done that yet.

Wouldn't he have had to by pass the neutral safety switch anyways to get the car to turn over?

Different safety switch for the top. This one is for the top and it is completely independent of the starting circuit.

Google search 240sx manual swap Nico and find their swap write up. It is the last picture and the stuff below or above the picture that explains how to get your top working.
