Another difference I've found between the two is when I took off the fenders, the MK appears to have a support that looks like it's to strengthen it, please correct if I'm off track but pics will show what I mean
MQ with no "support'
MK with "support"
Whoever disagrees with the saying "Might is right" obviously doesn't own a MQ

Now for my 2 cents worth.. My MK is a SD33T, is 24volt and is 5speed.
MY MQ is the L28, is 12 volt and is 4speed.
Power steering from the MK can be used on the MQ however needs a petrol bracket (thanks MQ MAD for that info)
The 5sp gearbox from the SD33T cannot be put onto the L28 without mods, it can be done but it's not a matter of swapping gearboxes and bolting it into place.
Any more differences I find as I go I'll post for others to learn from my bloodied knuckles LOL

Side vents or dash vents wernt on all or either and dependant on options
Ive seen some with and some without, some with the hole in the dash and a plastic cover clipped in the slot,others with vents for air con
Maybe its , as mentioned due to factory options
The elongated hole in the centre of the dash could be due to the MK has a clock up near the radio and different plugs and wiring ends, and the MQ just has a radio in this ssection
Theres 3 different dashes , and thanks for the few pics
1 has a nissan insignia,one has a clock and the other has a tacho on the left of the cluster
Youll notice and find a few differences as you go along with your build, dont go mix n matchin between the 2 when doin your build, easier to stick with whatever your petrol engined car has, and do the complete wiring ect for that

Thanks for that MQ, can't offer much to others bar the photos as don't quite have the tech/mech skills. Learning heaps myself by taking them and comparing them.

Also forgot to note earlier that the Glovebox on the MK is smaller than the MQ due to the side vent duct going behind it

Fotos are very appreciative
There are especially in the MK utes (maybe cause their the povo packs ???) that share alot of the MQ stuff
Like steering wheel, radio dash section
Non turbo diesel engine, but the 5 speed box
These are sought after the SD33 n/a 5 speed box,due to great first gear better for climbing
Keep the pics comin .......

The 7 " round headlights are a standard fitment on many cars of the era
IF you have a fitted bulb, just get a " H4 " headlight,they have the removable bulbs
These are avaliable in the rectangle style headlights as well
Just for your purpose,get " H4 "headlights and then use whatever powered bulbs you need for your project
Dont forget "Dont " touch H4 headlight bulbs with bare skin,use gloves,the oil in your skin is no good for them
