Its not that hard but for a 1st timer I would allow Two days for the job and a helper would be an advantage.

I managed to blow 2 of the studs out of the manifold, so i'm getting it helicoiled. I really just wanna save money on labour costs of my local mechanic, and to build up a bit of practical knowledge

yep he is correct. You do not have to remove the head to do that, use a right angled air drill and a helecoil kit.. Buy some new studs and nuts from nissan or fixings shop
