Unplug the widow motors, switches etc and then loosen the rubber plug all the wires go through and feed them all through the hole. There may be a clip underneath the quarters/pillars that lets you unclip the door loom separately but I'm not sure of this.

Yeah, best to take of the front guards, then undo the black plastic cover where the cords lead up to the body. Undo the bolt that is holding the clips together (one side of the plug clips from inside the vehicle and the other on the outside the vehicle) and whaaaala!

mmmm gearbox.. gonna be a bitch if u ain't got no car hoist! Won't be safe if ya by urself and the gearbox drops on ur arms.. jack the car up as high as you can, place front on stands (or even better - back end on 1 layer of 'beci blocks' (20cm off the floor) and the front on 2 layers (40cm off the floor)) . U will need a decent workshop jack that will reach the gearbox at full hight.

Undo tail shaft first. next is a gamble, but I did mine by undoing/loosening all the bolts around the bell housing(i think its called) thats connected to the engine. make sure you can get to the top of the bell housing first!

Remove anything else attached to the gear box. Now place the jack extended up to meet the area where the gearbox support is or near centre of the gearbox but make sure u find somepart that the gearbox can grab onto on the jack so it won't go sliding off...) This will help when the weight is freed from the car. Undo all bell housing bolts, then slowly undo the support bolts. the jack will help support the weight of the gearbox but you will still need to stablise this by hand. Best to do this with a mate who will control the height of the jack...

Hope this helps...

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
