[89 engine swap to V6 ecotech]

That is a pretty standard price, especially if it is from a reputable engine builder.
I'm building mine myself, but I can't do anything on it at the moment because I am in lockdown in Melbourne and the car is on my other property in Central vic.
I'll be spending about 1000-1500 but I am building mine myself.
I found a reconditioned head on Gumtree for $200 which saves a lot of machining cost. Probably another 600 in machining (Bore, crank grind, deck, balance)
and 500-ish for a rebuild kit from ebay US.

I'll be putting a weber 32/36 and a set of headers on, this combination really wakes them up, All in I should be around 2-2.5k

Is there any other  modes that I can do on the internals of the motor to get a little more power without increasing the price to much

how much are you planning to spend on rebuilding your z24

I have been quoted 2-3k to have it completely pulled down, bored, decked and re assembled with some fresh parts is this a good price

so I looked at the plate and it says engine Z24(S) 2389 does anyone know what the S stands.

4 cyl Petrol will be a Z24.

Engine number is on the LHS where the head meets the block. Engine number will start with 'Z24'

If it's an 89 it will have the 8 plug cylinder head. 
Can tell if you chuck up a pic. 

Parts are easy to find for these, I am rebuilding mine at the moment. 

Don't have a pic at the moment because my phone died I will try to get some pics

I seen a pic of a z20 and it looked the same but couldn't see how many spark plugs there were is this possible

I defiantly know that it is a 4 cylinder twin spark

From the back of the front doors to the front bumper, the 2 door and 4 doors are the same. The frame and running gear is the same between both. Here in NA, the pickup trucks in the same years were the same from the front doors forward as well in the bodies. Frames were a bit different though.

the rust starts around the middle of the door and stops around the end of the door

You'll be able to find those bits but it will take some hunting, mainly the window and the taillight. 
Sill you'll have to make up. 

I can get a sill for a four door and the crash repair shop down the road thinks that it would still fit. is this true

Ahh. Same as mine. I hope you save it!
The hard stuff to find is really only the WD specific stuff. Plenty of Navaras getting wrecked out. 

What does it need?

That I know so far it needs a

bonnet, all window rubbers, the driverside sill, driver side triangle window, motor, carpet, window switch, engine coolant overflow bottle, speedo, passenger taillight.

 

that all I can think of at the moment

Is it a 4 cyl or a V6? And 2 or 4 door? They are starting to get rare here now. 

We don't really get frame rot here in Austraila as a general rule unless they have been used on the beach.
I've had 4 WD21s and they have all been rust free except the bottoms of the guards. 

Keep all over gumtree and marketplace, that's where I got mine and my parts car.

its a 4 cylinder petrol and a 2 door.

I know that they are starting to get rare that's why my family wants me to scrap it so I don't have the trouble of trying to find parts for it and I have only seen 2 pathfinders that are close to my year they where both 4 door and 1 was turbo diesel

I got a wd21 Nissan pathfinder wagon given to me by my brother, its been sitting for around 4 years. it has got bad blowbuy, drinks oil and hasn't been started since it was parked, its got rust in the bonnet and a whole in the sill that Is around 10 inches long other then that its ok. My family thinks that I shouldn't bother trying to fix it and just use it as a paddock basher but I have seen what can be done to them but most of the pathfinders that I find that are the same model are all in America. does anyone know where I can find a parts car in Australia and a price for it or should I just scrap it.
