I have a 94 GQ 4.2 diesel and want to put it in my 98 GU 4.5 petrol. I rang Qld transport and they said ring Nissan to see what motor options were available for the 98 GU. Obviously the 4.2 was an option but I belive the pumps were a little different. I rang an engineer and he said no problem it will past emmisions.
My 4.5 has lost oil pressure. I pulled the oil filter of to put a new one on to see if that made a difference and the old one was empty so either the oil pump is worn out or there is shit blocking the pick up. I dont really want to spend dollars on the 4.5 and find out it needs a rebuild aswell from low oil pressure damage when I really want a 4.2 diesel for the towing power and economy.
Any body done the same conversion or similar without any dramas from transport.
