Drilled holes in my hood and put the rubber weather stripping on, fixed my windshield wipers finally (yay for working wipers) and replaced my sunroof weather stripping. Also raised my coilovers up in the front 5mm.
Anybody know of a place to get S14 sunroof glass? The fiberglass trim around my sunroof is fucked and won't seal properly, so I need to get a new sunroof glass lid piece. Nissan sells them for $800 or so but I don't want to pay that much. I searched Google/FreshAlloy/Zilvia/Nicoclub/etc and other people have this problem too with the fiberglass trim piece breaking around the rubber weather stripping.

Gave up on the knock sensor replacement for now, didn't feel like digging up a pair of really long needle-nose plyers.
Also, completed my cupholder project. It turned out alright, not really the happiest with it at the moment. v2.0 will be better.

^ A long extension, and a swivel socket will easily solve that problem. To replace the sensor use a strip of electrical tape to fasten the sensor to a coat hanger. Feed it in through the front of the intake manifold near the throttle plate. Pack the tip of the socket with dielectric grease to hold the bolt in while you maneuver the extension into place. It takes a little finesse, but isn't terribly difficult to do. I tried using a super long needle nose pliers, but clearances under the runners were way to tight to actually make it useful. (That's with emissions and pcv removed)

Tires still stick really well in the dry. I have no grip in the rain though.
Fronts are still somewhere around half tread or more. These tires have lasted way longer than I thought they would. Next alignment I'm going to take out some camber as well so that should help out just a little bit more.
Keep in mind they start out with only 7/32 tread anyways.

Edited for correctness 
I had some of the older nitto 550's, I loved the dry traction. They weren't too hot in the rain though, but then again my car doesn't grip very well to begin with.
I'm actually interested to see how they perform after you swap motors.

Finished up the auto to manual swap on Tim's old car. Just gotta put fluids in and wire up the non critical switches on the transmission.
