R50 Auto Shifter Swap to WD21

So I've undertaken the R50 center console swap into my 1992 WD21 Terrano.
I've given the forum a bit of a search but struggle to find anything with much info on swapping the shifter from the R50 over too so I can get rid of that horrid gap! Currently I've simply wrapped a boot around the standard WD21 shifter but figured since I have the R50 one here I might as well look into it. Has anyone done this and can give me a bit of a how to as to it's simplicity?

its the r20 that is a straight swap as they are more closley related to the wd21, the r50 being monocoque has a different shaped tunnel, so you will need to keep the wd21 part that bolts to the tunnel but swap the actual shift mechanism to the r50...then there is still no garuntee they match, but being nissan ill go out on a rather solid limb and say it should all interchange.

Yeah I only actually have the shifter itself but the bolts are in slightly different places it would appear :(
