You won't need NATS and BCM if you go with VQ30DE from 1995-1998 model and put the DE-K manifold on top.

well ur not going to need all that for starters....i've done the swap. u dont need custom exhaust manifolds b/c they are indentical to the stock vq30. U can even use the 3.5 manifolds. u would use your existing transmission. The only thing you would take off teh 5th gen wire harness is the injectors clips b/c they are different. You just need to splice them in. your factory harness and ecu will work if you don't want to do a full rewire which is a pita.
