Well, ended up being able to get a few more trolley jacks so haave changed it myself. Tips for anyone else doing it.
Remove the exhaust sections that run past the gear box. more room on the side.
REMOVE THE FRONT SWAYBAR!!! about an inch less you have to pull the box back before dropping it down.
If you have enough extention bars, and can get someone to guide the socket for you, you can accsess the 2 top bolts on the bellhousing through the hole in the floor created when you removed your gear sticks.
Make sure all the bolts are undone before you start to try and move the box.
Have someone to help you who works for free (e.g. your dad)
If you're able, turn up a clutch aligning shaft to help with the alignment of the clutch.
And hope you get as good k's as I did, 309000 and we're pretty sure it's the original clutch unless someone replaced it with a genuine Nissan one. (but why, I called up and they wanted $800 for the kit)
