anyways, back on topic...
Pulled the transmission this morning to have a look at the clutch and flywheel. Turns out both are original, the flywheel has some pitting and rust, and the pressure plate fingers are gouged a bit, so I'll be replacing those and the rear main once they come in. Cleaned up the bellhousing and fork while it was all apart too. Did a little bit of garage straightening while I was at it too.

Was just going through the donor car to pull the boost, water temp and oil pressure gauges out along with the pillar pods when I noticed a manual boost controller stuffed on the side of the drivers seat, and the HKS turbo timer I somehow completely missed before.

Pulled a couple of bits off the motor after dinner today, replaced the plugs while I was at it.
Clutch has seen better days....
Pressure plate is done as well
Flywheel is looking just as bad as the pressure plate
Slight leak on the rear main seal
A few drops made it to the back of the flywheel as well
Plugs show that she was running a little rich, but that's to be expected when the BoV wasn't recirculated

Burned chips or an Apex'i safc if they go cheap. Usually a stand alone if you're doing it right though. I'm rather partial to the Power FC and AEM's EMS.

Time to do the water pump, damn wasps
The old pump has seen better days
Lots of gasket removal
New pump!
Pulley is dirty, rusty, and generally looks like garbage
Woops, forgot to drain the oil before I pulled the motor, now seems like a good enough time
Pulley with fresh paint
New pump is on
Time for the Nismo thermostat
Success!
Everything back together on the front
Finally got around to putting the new lines on the turbo as well
Going to try to motivate myself to get more work done while it's so nice out.
