Installation time will depend largely on the installers experience specifically regarding a fuel system in this exact vehicle. Ive never dedicated my time start to finish on installing one (its always been mixed in with other work), but I think I could do a full kit in 6-8 hours. I expect that someone who knows fuel systems but not the 370z fuel system will take 3-4 more hours. Someone who isnt familiar with AN fittings and fuel system layout will probably double or triple the time second guessing everything.

BUT, there is more to consider. If you are doing a fuel pump wiring/relay kit at the same time.. there is another 2-3 hours for a clean install. A flex sensor will take a couple hours to sort out in the plumbing and then probably 90 min to wire up.

Quoting and billing labor on these cars is very difficult. I have had to do it on and off for years. Experience working on Zs will first make a shop feel confident they can do the job quicker, thus quoting lower. Even more experience working on Zs will make a shop realize that no matter what everything takes forever and they will bill accordingly to not shoot themselves in the foot.
