The manifold has to be removed to replace the thermostat. Rubber hoses that are only replaceable with the manifold out of the way should all be replaced during a repair like this and you should consider sending the fuel injectors out to a lab for professional ultrasonic cleaning while you have access. It is a big job as most thermostats are not this inaccessible and so I recommend professional replacement of the thermostat using one of YourMechanic’s certified Mechanics. As far as parts selection, using a genuine OEM Nissan thermostat will reduce the risk of post-installation headaches.
