It's pretty straightforward, although some of the electronics (e.g. swirl valve) might be sligthly different.

Fundamentally the VQ30DE in the 95-99 and 00-01 are very similar aside from the intake manifold (which fits both engines).

As for your VG30DE in your 300ZX... ummmm. The engine is wider and taller than the VQ. It's not going to fit without a metric f*ckton of custom fabrication. This is one of those situations where if you have to ask what will work, you're either in over your head or you're just gonna have to suck it up and pioneer all the work yourself. You'll have to expect to need custom just about everything, from motor mounts to headers to entirely-new rear subframe, gas tank, driveshaft, steering rack, etc... This question has been answered both here and on .org many times...
