-Shave the sway bar just a little, shouldnt be a tough job...just make sure to test fit the engine...take it out shave, and place.
-I know a couple people that have had some hassels with cops, but nothing MAJOR. Still risky...espically around my area
-The Z32 Clutch fits the RB20...
-Parts can be found at phase2, night and many more. Hell even ebay has some parts every now and then. Many more places probably, havent gone "shpping" in awhile
-Wiring isnt to hard...hell the whole swap isnt to hard(I didnt fully swap the RB20 in...but did most of the work)But probably the toughest is getting everything working well, there will always be bugs to work out.
-Not sure bout the spray paint...
-I test fitted my RB20 radiator and it fitted perfectly...cleared the hood too.
-It will probably be best to buy your IC piping pre bent and piece it together.
-A average person...a whole weekend...maybe more. Matters on how much time you put into it everyday and how much more work you want to do.
Good luck on the swap
