All the above and a lot more.
Engine mounts, electrics, gearbox conversion, suspension, exhaust.......

I beg to differ, and yes it has been covered recently but the 4.2 and 3.0 shifters will be in different positions in relation to the dash....

Maybe one of the search guru's can find a link ????

For the shifter ? I was under the impression that nissan changed the internals under the plate as well.....


Could be wrong though...
