I was able to change the starter on my 1989 Nissan pulsar, by first lifting the front of the car. Then I placed a jack under the passenger side of the engine. Then remove the bolt from the passenger side of the motor. Then jack the side of the engine till you can access the bolts on the starter. The bolts also serve as a mount for the transmission. There is one wire hookup. The stud on the starter is a light guage metal, and can be striped very easy. So be careful.
9/16
Drop the complete engine and subframe. it pays 16 hours.
unplugg the neg terminal on the battery. the starter has two bolts. One bolt is 9/16 and the other bolt is 11/16. Losen the top one and then the botton one. There is a cable that is secured to the starter from the positive terminal of the battery. Remove the relay cable from the starter and the small wire from the starter. Now you are done. There is also a hose connector for the radiator that needs to be put on the new starter.
1/2 or 13mm or 9/16 or 15mm I can not remember right now which. It will have three bolts that hold it on. That is for a Diesel starter.
for the twin turbo you need to drop the downpipe and the front transfer case. Then you need about a 16" extension to loosen the two 14mm bolts on the starter itself then drop it out and replace.

Simply disconnect the battery, climb under the car with a few sockets and a ratchet, ( I believe it is 9/16) and locate the starter one the bell housing of the transmission. Remove the 2 bolts securing the Starter and wiggle it out. Disconnect the power cables that are attached to the starter and solenoid. Installation is the reverse of the procedure just explained.
