I have and yeah massive pita, 3 long main bolt from underneath and 1 single short bolt on the front side to a bracket for something else

It can be done it just requires patients, I was lucky and had a complete intake on the shelf to look at to see what was needed to get it off

The hoses make it impossible to get at, let alone see anything.

Truly a horrible mess Mr Nissan.

Fark, I forgot about the steel pipe as well, it was that long ago I did it, and looking at those pics reminded me I told myself if I had to do it again it would be easier to take the engine out and do it on the stand

Yes when it's time to replace all those vacuum and coolant hoses, (lots !!!) perhaps service the brake and clutch boosters while you're at it, I think it's engine out.

With engine out, turbos are actually accessible too.

Rb26 is just crazy complicated and the R32 with hydraulic HICAS, the worst.

That valve can be removed in car. It's not that hard but will chew up time.
