You can do it yourself. Take a can of PB Blaster, flip the differential upside down with the bushing facing downwards & spray the old J30 bushing. Let it sit for a few minutes, then take a hammer along with old rachet socket & bang away at it. After a few good wacks the old bushing should pop right out. Putting in the new ones are a lot easier than the old ones...they just slide right on in.
I did this when I installed my J30 VLSD on my S14. I used the Energy Suspension 300ZX rear differential bushings, (I think the part # is 7-1108??), as replacements for the old J30 bushings.The Energy Suspension bushings work just fine.
You shouldn't have any problems installing the VLSD, everything bolts right up. Just be careful that your driveshaft doesn't rub up against the exhaust resonator. Mine does...those Nismo exhaust hanger bushings sure pull your exhaust tight against the car frame. My N1 dual resonator scraped a line on the drive shaft on mine. Gonna have to crawl underneath the car again & see how the driveshaft is making out.
