Ok, progress has been slow but here's a few updates:
Just purchased z32 brakes, front is 30mm aluminum calipers with new pads and new drilled/slotted rotors. Will be picking up the rear brakes from a friend.
Shipped directly from Japan: OEM s14 silvia k's wing
Tommy started on making the custom headers but having a hard time making them equal length so ordered more bends with tighter angles.
Ill post up some new pics when I get a chance.

Yes, the Tilton master cylinder fit perfect. I believe they revised it and made the new cylinders a lot shorter than their older ones. I'll take a pic of it and post it so you can see the fitment.
Cunningham:
You are correct sir, it is a q45 vlsd. In order to run the q45 diff you need to use a q45 axle and a z32 tt axle. The z32 tt axles are very rare and I couldn't find one anywhere, so I took my other q45 axle to a shop and they shortened it to the same length as a z32 tt axle, that is why it is thicker in the center.
