| Picture intensive, but here you go... Some "from the beginning until now" pictures... First off...here's a few engine cutaways pictures of the differences. 
Before:
Beginning:
Starting the disassembly
Difference between the Early R32 RB26's and the later R32's and all R33 and R34's. (I have an R33 RB26)
 some parts:
 
Radiator, FMIC, and BOV
 Swapping front crossmembers for the modified one 
New chromoly front sway bar (curves further forward)
When reassembling the engine, one of the cams didn't seat correctly, and it snapped. Thanks to an RBZ32.com member I got a replacement set of cams for 100 bucks.
 
getting there... 
FMIC
Borg Warner turbo...
 
more goodies...
 
(used) exhaust:
Transmission bellhousing swap: (Z32 trans, R33 AWD bellhousing)
Modified RB26 CAST Aluminum oil pan.. (front diff hacked off, axle removed, holes tig welded up, bottom "fins" shaved off for clearance)
 
Still haven't installed this... trying to find HUGE fittings for the oil cooler. May run it later, but it's a NISMO OEM part.
