Put an old engine in a new car??????????????
Make sense to sell the GQ to finance a better GU and save yourself a sh*t load of work and bother.
2.8's have different drivetrain

If you want to put it into a 2.8tdi. You will also need the gear box. As the 2.8tdi uses a 300zx box.
Dont think wiring should be to hard. As there both 6cylinder diesels with glowplugs.
