Mate you'll need L3 dash wiring loom, high bcm, drivers side wiring loom which runs through the fire wall into cabin and some other bits (but can't quite remember atm). I done it in my ute awhile ago and it was a pain, i hope you have a donor car.

Sound's like alot more of a pain than it was in my vn haha damn might not stress it then lol

If it just the Level 3 dash cluster upgrade you dont need to swap the whole dash wiring, its rather easy- alot of threads on here on how to do it

Would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction

Similar but not exactly the same..mode switch has different plugs...dash loom can be unplugged on vr/s ...earlier models have it as part of the whole loom.
I think I have a modified vs dash loom with the extra plugs that I can sell to you that will work if you want it to be plug and play and you are handy with tools.
Old dash loom out new dash loom in plug and play.
Try reading this threadand here are some directions

To do it properly and have no issues or fireworks you will require what is called a patch loom. These were originally made for the Maloo utes that ran a L3 dash in a Exec based vehicle. It was a genuine part.

There was a chap that ran a business here in Adelaide (Seaford) that made nothing but patch looms for all the VN thu to VS vehicles. He has since sold that business off and left the country. His name was Shane if I recall correctly.

Do a search on patch looms via Google and it should come up with something. This way you won't have to change BCM's or any other Exec componentry.

Cheers,
Marty
