you should get a timing belt. and a thermostat. (for all of this stuff there is a post with the things that you need, and the things you "should" get) if your gettinga clip it should come with a downpipe, and that will bolt to your stock cat, or testpipe. yes you should upgrade your fuel pump, the car have a drop in fuel psi at high revs, and it might lean out. thats bad! puttinga fuel pump in is cake, just make sure you have a gas can around in case you need to suck some gas out, that way you dont have to have your whole arm in gas while you mess with the pump, not to mention it will give you a wicked buzz/headache after awhile. you need to get a dual fan setup, or just be able to some custom fabbing and stick the skyline electric fan next to your stock 240 fan, cause you dont have room for the clutch fan anymore. plastic ziploc bags, masking tape, and magic markers! label everything it will save you time and hassle, and sometimes a boatload of money. I know a guy that threw out some important stuff by accident.
Too bad your arent a little closer. I have the cheapest install pricesaround, cause I have almost no overhead. ........ hmmmmm, maybe thats why I have so much work I am not aloud to sleep anymore......
anymore question shoot me an email at iroc_07@yahoo.com

Good choice

I'd get a water pump, timing belt, tensioner pulleys, and valve cover gaskets coming. This is a pain once the engine is in the car and these items really need to be replaced. Emphasis on water pump because it mounts behind the timing belt and everything and is a huge pain to replace in the car.

Venus is pretty cheap on those, but I'd expect to replace the clutch and some other parts too. These parts don't interchange with anything in the USA, that's why you'd be wise to order them up now. Make sure your clip comes with intercooler, mafs, guage cluster, and downpipe.

The clutch interchanges with the 300ZX NA.
