lmao what'd you honestly expect..

The bolts are shit, but not impossible with the right tools. Take a break and come back with a clear head. I'd suggest a 1/4" drive extension and uni to get through the runners.

Alternatively, throttle body off and get under there with a ratchet spanner.

Hey jordy thanks for ur advice !
I have watched every video I could find and read everything I could..
I have removed the throttle body and tried to eliminate everything I can get to, but I don't think anything has ever been done to my car everything is really brittle. I've tried a uni joint, but that's too long to get right under the bolt and the ratchet spanner fits but there's no room to turn to crack it open.
I've left it and come back for 2 days and tried from every angle and now I'm really pissed off I have to catch the train to work instead of enjoying my lovely car!
Its so frustrating if it wasn't for those 2 bolts I would have fixed my car by now!
Isn't there someone who wants to be a hero and show me how its done??
I don't have the money for a tow to a mechanic and anyway I actually enjoy working on my own car...it's just the most shittiest spot ever to put bolts!!
Why????

I just put a manifold together on the car, i used a 3/8 ratchet with the smallest extension.
You should be able to see the front one so just take note of the position of the ratchet under the manifold and replicate on the other 2.

Can u come and help me then ?

I would but im in Sydney lol

I took a different approach. (not saying mine is better, because it looks like other ways could be more efficient)

I removed the throttle body and fuel rail, then attacked all bolts underneath with a ratchet spanner. I didn't remove fuel filter or anything on the strut side of the manifold.

If I can do it with my dough boy hands I'm sure you can do it :)

You said you tried with a ratchet spanner and couldn't move it? Did you get the TB and fuel rail out of the way? Show us a couple pics so we can see how you're attacking it.

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
