Op you still there? Look, I own a 300ZX Turbo and I've worked on the VG30ET and swapped it for a VG33E and turboed it.
DO NOT USE ANY OF THESE SEALANTS ON THIS MOTOR. You WILL FUCK IT UP and then will not be able to salvage the motor.
Do it properly.
Yes, it is a pain in the ass to pull the heads off especially if you still have a lot of the stock crap/idle controls in the way, but it is possible to do it in the car. I have never done it in the car, but I've seen pictures of many who do. When I did my engine, I just pulled it out with an engine hoist.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7246535 Nice cars...always thought the styling of that car was way ahead of its time....but what a bitch to work on....especially with the turbo. You literally need a shoehorn to fit anything else under the hood.  Yeah it was a bitch to get the stock turbo out of the stock location with the motor in the car. You could fit bigger turbos down there though. I did everything for simplicity and quickly taking it apart though. Relocated the turbo to the top, modified a maxima intake manifold, removed a lot of the idle crap and vacuum lines(didn't work anyway), electric fan, etc. I know doing that kind of stuff and not keeping the car stock isn't everyone's cup of tea. I have seen the stock engine bay from factory and it does look like a nightmare. I've heard working on 300ZX Twin Turbos with the VG30DETT is much more of a nightmare than on mine.
