I'll highly consider tackling the job myself, I do need a way to get the car up, however.
I'm happy that you found the links somewhat helpful.

For getting the car up, you can pick up some automotive ramps from any auto parts store and they are pretty useful for oil changes, oil cooler installs, etc. and cost about $40 (which is small investment and you will add another tool to your garage). Getting the car up can make you a little nervous the first few times and is only slightly more difficult with a manual, but after doing it a couple times it's a piece of cake. In fact, AK370 posted a video of him pulling up on ramps in his DIY oil change thread, if I remember correctly. Great video.

Which reminds me, you have an entire community here that will help you if you have any questions. Just start when you know you have plenty of time and don't need to rush so in the unlikely event you do hit a snag, you will have time to seek advice and someone can respond.

Edit: I looked for the video and it appears to be pulled for some reason. Here is the picture from that thread though. I've got a few tips if you go this route as well, but you won't have any clearance issues getting the rear of the Z up.



Also, where are you located? Your profile says 'Tdot' right now. There may be someone nearby that would actually be willing to give you a hand.
