Hey guys, i'm back. All projects were put on hold for a little while as I got married in June. I also bought a DD that needed some work so I spent some time on that. We are back in the shop now and proceeding with work.
Just so I didn't come back empty handed here is a small update. The pictures below show the following.
LGT OEM Rear Brake Dust Shield
300ZX NA Bearing Housing
300ZX 5x114.3 Hub
300ZX Turbo Rear Rotor
LGT OEM Rear Caliper and Pads
18x10 5x114.3 +22 FR500 Wheels
This image shows the 300ZX Bearing housing and LGT Dust shield. The red marks are where the bolt holes had to be slightly shaved
Everything mounted up on the spindle. All 4 bolts fit after the slight shave but only 2 are in there as its just a test fit.
300ZX Rotor Mounted
Brake Caliper and Pads mounted, Only the top bolt of the caliper bracket is threaded in. Will have to modify the bottom mounting point to bring the caliper bracket out as the 300ZX rotor is about 8mm bigget than the LGT rotor
And for the grand finale, the 18x10 wheel mounted

OP, if you are still looking for a driver's side header, try a GTO driver's side header. we have the same problems with the steering column being in the way. the steering column will go in between the runners (2 outside, 2 inside) and should fix your problem.

First of all I love you, perfect sleek stylish sedan to drape over a nice powerplant! Only thing I'd do different would be to start with a wagon!
It's interesting to see a Nissan differential in there, and it should prove to be a stout solution for your rear end too. In the 90's Fuji Heavy used to manufacture both Subaru and Nissan products and there were some interchangeable parts between some older Subis and Nissans. It's like catching up with an old friend.
Keep it up!

Received some 350Z diff bushings so we were able to finish the diff mounts for the most part. Also test fitted the J35 axles and they lined up and were able to be tightened down without issue.
Also started working on the rear trans mount and tacked it into place
