start by reading that thread,
you could use a patrol auto and vh45 up to a mq or gq diff to keep it all Nissan, but you will really struggle for real estate in a d21 engine bay,
so maybe a qd32 with a big turbo would be a better option.
not to mention Nissan bits are reasonably interchangeable so fabrication could be kept to a minimum

lots of hard work, chopping, fabricating , cursing and bashing your head against the wall if you want to do it mate, dunno about the 1uz part but theres a few different variations of terrano/nevara SAS swaps on the interweb

a y60 steering box bolts on to the stock terrano/navara chassis. and the factory steering column bolts on. get the drag link made to suit. the d21/wd21 steering box arms face back the patrol face forward. ya will need to cut the factory tie down point off as it fouls the y60 steering arm.
