Does anyone make a Nissan VQ-series engine?

I'v been working on my 350Z model for about a month nonstop, I've really wanted to put a VQ35DE engine into it, but I haven't been able to find any models with one. I decided to just make an intercooler to represent a turbocharged engine, but for the last couple of days I've really become obsessed with putting a scale engine into it. It's driving me crazy; I'm even considering scratchbuilding one. That would be a real challenge, plus I'll have to make the rest of the engine bay. Does anyone know of any 350Z or other Nissan models that come with the VQ35?

You could use the engine from a MASITO 1/24 NISSAN 350Z diecast

Yeah, I've been thinking about it, since I already have one. The problem is, is one piece that's molded, and the Tamiya model seems to be slightly bigger in scale, so I'm not sure if it would fit right. If I decide to scratchbuild an engine though, I'll probably cut out the engine part from the Maisto model.

you could always modify the 300zx TT, T, or NA motor, right?
