man you dont have to take apart anything to get the pulgs out. Its so easy it shows you in the owners manual. But make sure to blow the plug holes out first with compressed air before you take them out or stiff will fall in the motor and thats not good. Their advanced but not hard to work on. Hard to work on is the 1990 and up 300zx where you cant stick your hand between the motor and firewalls.

Anyway are you swapping a turbo into your non-turbo? Its easy just time consuming, a lot of steps. First off the non-turbo transmission bolts right up to the turbo motor. the only thing that you need is the:
1)turbo motor
2)alternator harness (you have to extend the one in your Z. Going to a nissan dealer you can get the alternator sub harness and splice in into yours)
3)Cross member off a turbo Z. Or you can weld the mount over. I reccamend getting the crossmember. (the metal beam the motor mounts to)
4)turbo computer.

I am in the middle of the process right now. Im currently building up the motor so i got everything thrown around. But your better off going to a junk yard and finding a donor car or looking on z31.com under classifides for parts.

good luck
