> Power will come from a 3.7-liter version of Nissan’s VQ powerplant. A pair of turbochargers will help it produce about 450 bhp and 360 lb.-ft. of torque.

> Stock boost pressure will be limited to about 10 psi, but we hear that the engine is capable of handling a lot more. A tamer version of this V-6, codenamed VQ37HR-TT, will make its way into the upcoming Infiniti G35 Coupe. Key differences between the engines are that the GT-R’s VQ will have the twin turbochargers, lighter pistons and connecting rods, as well as a beefed-up crankshaft. Other custom parts may make their way into the engine, including racing profile camshafts and new valvetrain. It will come mated to a Getrag 6-speed transmission or a paddle-shift sequential automatic with seven or eight gears.

Yes, there are talks of NA versions either 3.7 l or 3.8 l making it into the G35 and 350Z. Probably as some rice “NISMO” package.

The rumor mill is turnig here…

well, im mainly speaking about USandA

they have many different models of 350z(enthusiast, roadster, track, etc…), then u jump up, and u have the g35, then u have nismo models of 350z and g35(supposedly),then u jump up again to the skyline. just seems like u can definitely find some variation of this car to fit anyone who wants to drive a sports car. anywhere from ricey teens to track racers to retired old stock brokers.

gotta remember that for a long time, the 300zx na/turbo was really ur only choice for a good sports car out of nissan. well that and the 240sx, but thats not really even comparable to most sports cars.

**It’s called the GTR _not_ the Skyline.**

The Skyline is already here.  
You can buy them now.  
It’s also called the G35.
