Hey guys I just needed a few questions answered and was hoping you could help me out. Just to get this out of the way. I already have the VG30E motor, trans, ECU, and harness picked them up super cheap from a Z31. I was wondering how will the fuse box connectors compare. I know the tranny are the same and the motor SHOULD work (not sure on this yet will have to measure everything up this weekend). I plan on just running the stock VG30E for now just need to get the car running well and drifting again! I am going to take out the PS for now just until I can source a pump also I don't know how all the fitting will work until I get the PS pump. What is the best way to get the connecting plugs for the underdash fuse box? This is my first engine swap so I am taking things one step at a time and don't want to mess this up. Any links to harness diagrams or motor diagrams or other threads about this would be awesome. Thanks guys!

The engine harness connects to the fuse box in the engine bay, not under the dash. As far as plugs you'll probably have to cut and splice plugs off of the 240 harnesses. You'll also need a pinout from both the engine and chassis side plugs where the interior harness integrates to the engine harness, so that you can look at which wires need to be moved/spliced.

Ok thank you. I have started looking for all those documents. Any advice? Do the motor mounts line up?

Looking at pictures of the VG30 motor mounts they look pretty similar to the OEM S13 brackets. Do the S13 ones work? I have heard mixed issues on whether or not there will be oil pan clearance issues with the stock S13 crossmember. And knowledge on that?
