Job was not really hard. I would say it's a 4/10. Swapping the transmission and to swap the clutch csc is a 9/10.

It took me an estimated 5 hrs as I was making the video, working alone for the most part.

Tools needed
-SAFETY GLASSES!!! For the love of Jeebus have safety glasses. That rear bushing sprays some nasty junk when you drill and cut it. I had liquid and rubber stuff everywhere!!
-socket set, I used a few 1/2'', 3/8" exstensions, breaker bar, cheater bar (I used the handle of my other floor jack), wobble adapter, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, pliers, screw driver, bottle jack, cutting tool, drill with spade bit as the screw type broke on me, hammer, sledge hammer (I used a 20lb dumbbell to knock the old bushing of the diff after flipping it over), probably missing a few more tools.
-Mat to lay on or creeper
-jack stand, jack, chocks
-something to ties things with
-pry BAR
-hex keys to break open the fill and drain plug

Here is a very simple tool that I fabricated ( Took me 15 minutes to do a good fabrication job) in order to drive that stupid vent pipe into the Nismo diff cover. This tool works every time rather that getting my head beat out banging the breather pipe in while trying to align it.

Simply take your 3/8 inch drive 9mm socket and carefully cut out the part shown in order to accommodate the part of the pipe sticking up. Drive the breather pipe in nice and straight.....
