Where is it located and what does it look like?

If you dont' even know what it looks like, I wouldn't be trying to replace it myself.

also, sinec you don't know what it looks like, I wouldn't be trying to diagnose the motor either. just take it to a workshop.

If the motor is gone, either get the stock one repaired or get a new one from nissan.

a new starter motor from nissan will set you back around $700+, think about a re-conditioned one or a bosch.

mod the loom and make a VL or a aussie r31 one fit

It's on the drivers side of the engine bay bolted to the bell housing, just under the inlet manifold. 2 14mm bolts (one on top which is a bit of a pig to get to and one on the back of the bell housing thats easy), a plug in terminal and a ring terminal from memory.

Easy enough job to remove and replace. Sounds like a stator problem (means that the gear isn't extending properly and engaging the flywheel ring gear). It's probably just gunked up. If you can remove it yourself it will be fairly cheap to get fixed or exchanged.
