Once under the car you'll pretty much see how straight forward it is.
With that being said, I just did a full turbo install, suspension work, exhaust, gauges, boost controller install, all by myself in my apartment garage.
When I did my rear end. I took the car to Function Tuned and had Dave do it for me. While it's straight forward and very basic, the rear end weighs A LOT, when working on it yourself, it could easily be dropped on top of yourself, if you have an extra set of hands and don't mind letting the rear end sit on your chest while trying to get it into place. Then go for it, I wasn't willing to do it, even after doing everything else myself.
Labor shouldn't be more then $120 or so. It's about a 1 hour job.

But you can buy a nismo lsd for 750 from one of the vendors around here. Throw the vlsd away. And if you dont have a fully assembled pumpkin I wouldn't do the install yourself unless you have all the right tools. I know there is a tutorial somewhere on this website of someone taking apart their pumpkin.

BTW I paid 450 or so for my rear end, I felt I got a good deal. 500-600 for a LSD full pumpkin isn't bad.
