240 2NR is an unknown quantity at this point
The way I look at it, $140 will buy you a FSM, a 14 peice sears wrench set, and a cheap hydraulic jack and jack stands.  Plus it will only require 3 hours on a weekend, and will teach you more about your car if you do it yourself.

I would also recomend getting some new DOT 4 brake fluid and replacing it at the same time.  If your car is already going to be jacked up with the wheels off, it only adds ten more minutes per wheel once you know what you're doing.  Speed bleeders are great if you don't have a buddy around to pump the brakes.

But then again, not everyone want to do get dirty when it comes to their car.   If it must go to a shop, I would say their price is high.  Its pretty easy to do, so its not really nessasary that it go to nissan.  For someone with a lift and experience it should only take an hour.
