I strongly recommend the average do-it-yourselfer DOES NOT attempt to remove his balance shafts. The unit itself is a BIATCH to get out. Unless you got a bolt cutter, the chain could take a few minutes. Cutting the 4 main bolts down 2" with a grinder took a little while. There is one bolt (10mm) holding the cover to the chain on. It wont slide out when loosened. You can get it completely loose but the head of the bolt hits the casing just a hair too shy for that bolt to come out ... so more wrestling involve.
BUT I LOVE IT!!!!! great great mod ... actually no ... its horrible um it blew my motor ... nobody else do this mod. Leave the extra wheel ponies for me ....

As a note, JWT now has a kit that makes this easyer. The kit also contains a oil pan baffle and windage tray that further increses power by stripping the friction causing windage away from the crank.
The baffle also reduces the chances of oil starvation under cornering loads.
See this months issue of nissan performance magazine for pictures and an article. Nissan performance magazine is also planning an installation article and a dyno test of this kit.
