I assume the starter ring is worn out?? The ring gear alone can be purchased from Nissan for about $100 but the same starter ring gear is used on all the automatic and manual flywheels on all L or Z series engines 4 or 6 cylinder. The ones on the manual flywheel can simply be hammered off. Yours you can grind the welds away to remove it. Slip the new one on and have someone weld it in place.

About 20 years ago I wanted to replace my ring gear because it had a few chipouts and I was rebuilding the engine anyway.  It turned out that the ring gear alone was more expensive than the flex plate and ring gear assembly.  I guess that having a complete assembly to catalog and store was less costly.  Good luck in your search, I think that the suggestion to advertize in "Parts Wanted" will pan out.
