It's getting very close to being dropped in. I've been waiting a few days for my flywheel bolts to come in from Nissan. In case anyone else would need to know, they are the same as '95-'98 240sx bolts, part number 12315-42L11. Those of which are holding down my JGY Customs 10.5 pound flywheel and JGY Customs 4 puck clutch kit, enclosed by a Z32 transmission mated to an RB26 bellhousing.

More misc!
A whole bunch of tiny things accomplished today, mostly vacuum lines and plugs. I installed the heat shields back on with new shiny hardware, along with the upper intake pipe. I removed the factory oil pressure sending unit for an Autometer setup for my gauge (I won't need the stock one for the car to run), along with tapping the upper water jacket for my Autometer temperature sensor.

More gaskets!
Maintenance today... I replaced the drive belt and the shitty Autolite plugs in the engine for some NGK BKR7E's gapped to .035". I pulled the valve covers since they looked to be leaking, and to my surprise the valvetrain was as clean as I had thought it would be. I threw my valve covers in the parts washers at work and decided to clean them up a little bit.. So, I threw a few coats of Ricer Red paint on them. I had the full intention of just being lazy and replacing only the rear main seal, but ended up doing the rear main cover and oil pan gasket too. Not too many odds and ends left to do before I bolt up the JGY light weight flywheel and 4 puck clutch kit, with a Z32 transmission mated to an RB26 bell housing.

Live and Learn.
A lot of guys on the forums have a lot of issues of the factory o2 housing rubbing the steering shaft. I heard a local guy had heated his up and moved it in a bit to clear, so.. I get an oxy acetylene torch and ball peen hammer and start to do work. I guess cast iron is brittle under high heat and probably isn't meant to change form really hahahaha.

Disassembly begins.

I received my longblock today. It went from being really excited to a big let down. I had paid the company an extra $150.00 for a complete wiring harness, and it ended up being cut in multiple places. Along with that, I had been promised a starter over the phone and didn't receive it. I'm going to see if the harness is still usable and file a claim with them. Hopefully this thing will be on a stand soon and be disassembled with a few bolt-ons put on.
