And fitted,
All I am needing now is the necessary banjo bolt for the Titlon hydraulic release bearing and then I can run the braided lines and bleeder setup for the release bearing and then engine can be fitted.
Exciting times!

Did you ever get a response to your question or find out what he did for the conversion?

You may want to double check that. The GTi-R uses M11 flywheel bolts, all other SR20 use M10. I see in the picture that twin clutch was actually FOR a 54C GTi-R SR20, you're going to have slop in between the bolts and flywheel holes. I had that issue before and had to have a machine shop make 1mm thick bolt collars to shim the space.
Your VET X-Trail engine uses M10 flywheel bolts. I ran into this when I did a VET in a GTi-R a few years back. My only option was to with get bolt shim collars made to use 10mm bolts (which I did cause i'd already bought an Rnn14 OS Super single), or switch to an S13 Flywheel with GTi-R clutch discs. Someone told me you could machine the VET crank for m11 bolts, but when I brought it to the machine shop, they told me there isn't enough material to cut new threads, they would have had to weld up the holes and re-machine them from scratch. I figured there wasn't much of a difference between M10 and M11 bolts to justify the cost, and I was right, it was never an issue, so I just had the machine shop make me some 1mm thick, 20mm long spacer collars to go over the bolts.
Edit: I tend to repeat myself lol
