You get used to the ticking after a while. I would be much more concerned if it all of a sudden stopped doing it.
Most of what "went wrong" really is nothing for a car with that many miles on it. Now you know the tick is actually normal, the plugs were past their life and the oil was a badly done aftermarket art it really just leaves the tranny. Be willing to bet that the tranny issue is more related to the prior owner than an actual faulty part but still worth pursuing.

Alright, I will leave the badges, despite them blatantly lying about what my car is... *starts searching for GTR badges on eBay*
Thank you for easing my mind a bit to actually sleep. Haha

Yeah, he was on the defensive real quick, despite me not being one of those people who scream their heads off. Was just a simple, "Hey, pulled the dipstick and saw more oil than what should have been in there.". What bugged me the most was even with the picture he said it was hearsay and since I didn't drive the car knowing it was overfilled back to the dealer, there wasn't much they could really do in the sense of checking it out for damage. All because the problem didn't exist that their techs could physically see.
