Ammonia - 0pmm
Nitrite - 0.25ppm
Nitrate - 40ppm
Nitrites will give a false reading on the nitrate since test kit converts the nitrite into nitrate. You probably have a lower reading.
Based on your other post it's been 18 days since you started the cycle. You should be ready. Add fish, continue doing weekly 10% water change and those nitrate will go down with time.
This low of nitrite won't affect anything but if you wish to wait you can.
it would also be easier to follow if you post all in the same thread.
