The R-35 GTR won't be called a Skyline, it would carry the name Nissan GT-R. 450hp stock sounds doubtful, 350 is more like it. I think its criminal to put a non turbo V8 in this car, but thats just my opininon.. I'm not saying a V8 is bad, its just not suited to this car, and it had its heritage built up on a RB26DEtt which is the current 2.6tt, handling will suffer massively if a V8 is to be introduced and it would kill the sales,because people who have the cash to buy a brand new 2 door sportcoupe would pick an Aston Martin or similar over a Nissan. They were even considering(and maybe are still) putting the 3.0 V6 from the Maxima, but i hope this wont happen. The engine in the GTR , IMHO, has to be a turbo engine..
