A few more pics Sasha sent me 
I dropped off my powder coated front timing chain cover and chrome plated cam covers today and picked up the valve covers. I might paint these valve covers red and try to match the fuel reg somewhat.
Having patieints for all the pcs to come together is sometimes the hard part.
Good thing we still have snow on the ground.

Leak down test was done at 25psi I think and everything "A" ok.
I received this update from Sasha Thurs evening,
We filled the engine with oil today and looked for leaks, hooked up the starter and built oil pressure. We positioned the engine near the car so that we could plug in the factory oil pressure sensor to the engine harness – in order to read the factory oil pressure gauge. The engine built 60 psi of oil pressure right away and there don’t seem to be any leaks!
We couldn’t get the engine in today as one of the flywheel bolts was bent believe it or not (from the previous carnage I’m guessing), so we will replace the flywheel bolt tomorrow from Nissan and get a starter, button up the clutch/trans and get the engine in the bay. The fuel system is working well also there seem to be no leaks and we pumped all the old fuel out of the system. Will purchase 20L and will fill the car up tomorrow or on Monday.

Transmision and clutch all bolted up now. Waiting for new bearings and bolts for the Diff. should arrive Monday so we think. Thought we ordered a new started but guess we didn't and there is No stock at all in Canada right now. 
Sasha has his starter in my car for now until a new one arrives.
Got my new Carbotech street pads Fri. I had the Carbotech x8's on but they squeek to often and my wife hates it so much she ducks down in the seat
Ordered new Tires last week, Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 255/35/19 and285/35/19's. I was going to get Toyo's but they would have taken a while to arrive. The Bridgestone look good. I plan on getting the rear fenders rolled.

It's ALIVE!
Engine is in the car. Sasha worked late tonight thanks man!. Car started up right away and built good oil pressure.
Getting so close now. Take my re-painted and repaired Chargespeed bumber down to the shop this week. (This cracked when i had to get a tow from the track
) I will need to modify the stock tow hook so it extends beyond the front Chargespeed bumper in case I need another tow one day. Lets hope its if I do ever need a tow its just a flat tire and not an engine failure.

Engine is running great and we did our initial break in of the clutch, LSD and engine today. The engine saw its first signs of boost (just a few pounds though) and spun itself up to 5000rpm a few times with a little bit of load.
The car is running fantastic and I couldn't be happier, Hal at Injected has done a phenomenal job on the build from what I've seen so far, and tomorrow morning we will do the rest of the tuning and give this girl a bit of boost.
The engine is on its 3rd oil fill now, and will get another oil change tomorrow after the final tuning has completed, so far no signs of anything but pure clean dino oil which is a great relief as well.
