Thanks for sharing your experiences. Did you use the manual rear, or the auto rear? I went with the auto rear. It seemed to match the r154 ratios much better.
Keep filling us in on how the car drives overall as you put more miles on it.

no power steering because late into the power steering mods to the rack we realized that there is a bunch of stuff missing for the power steering system from the JZ motor

Gotta get it up on a lift to find the crank and cam position sensors tonight hopefully that will solve the problem
Everything else was getting power, just couldnt find those 2 to check them

really interested in the vvti stock dyno results compared to the older twin turbo models, post up some dyno result if you get a chance. i put down 290/284 with a bone stock twin turbo engine. thinking about doing another jz swap into a s5 shell i have laying around, thinking it might be vvti

check to make sure theres no vaccume leaks. mine didnt start the first time just cuz there was a vaccume leak (that idle control valve on the rear of the intake, i blocked mine off and it started 
)

That hood doesn't look close to fitting at all. The engine will be sticking out of the hood once it's closed unless you cut and mold it to fit... If you want to sell your hood, let me know.

yours sounds strange when it cranks.. mine sounds more beastly, maybe its just the starter though, did you check if the fuel lines are hooked up right? does the fuel pump even get power?

sounds liek its not getting fuel or spark..cuz usually it will burp and studder as if it shows some sign of starting did you change your spark plugs (and get the right spark plugs for the motor?) NGK BKR6EK (twin electrode copper plug), also make sure everythings getting power. One of my MAF wires wasnt getting power thats why mine didnt start first try.
