mate its not that easy, different cab widths etc. same chassis, difs slightly different.

so in easy terms no, yes, with maybe slight mods to front (i think gq fits in a gu not the other way), yes, not really

Yeh as bru said different width's

However I think with the following items
bullbar = no ( too narrow)
winch = yes but in new bar (make sure use an ARB as genuine nissan only takes upto 9000p unless you modify the cradle
difflocks = yes rear if the gu has a small rear diff but the front you will need to buy a part off ARB.
Side steps = should do the might mount up diff depends on your side steps.
long range tank = not sure i doubt it though.

Your probably better off stripping the car to standard and sell the parts or get a buyer to buy the lot with the car.

Like morkz said mate,strip it and sell it standard. I might be interested in some of it if you sell it off.

technically yes, but why, rear not a big issue, but gu front has larger cvs
