Well it is a direct bolt in although the wiring is a little bit different and it depends on the year of the engine you get because the 95 and later are ODB II. The 93 and 94 KA should be the best match for the harness but try to get the ECU for that year as well. The 95 and up engines have an Intake Air Temp Sensor, a Crankshaft Position Sensor and few other controls that may make a difference but then I have never ran an engine in a older body without the same year ECU controlling things so I'm not sure if you can just leave those unplugged. I would have to see what year the chassis is and what year the engine is to do a pin - pin mating for compatibility. Possibly the exhaust manifold and a couple of the ancilliary components may bolt on / mate up a little different as well. I like the idea of putting in the DE in the U12 and there is good availability on Altima engines cheap.
I will try to do some more research but that is all of the info off the top of my head.
