A mechanic found that the VQ is actually built stronger than Toyota's 2JZ, despite being aluminum block.
And that's probably why we won't see a VK-series V8 in the GT-R(at least the JP market version), even though it still weighs less than an RB.

Didn't the VQ first come out in 94? Well the VK45 is sports engine but its designed for a larger sporty auto and sporty suv(FX45). I do not know if it work well enough in Skyline but there is a 240Z making around 700hp out of a SC'ed VK45 motor.
here The rumour I have been hearing on Infiniti sites from people who work in high place at Nissan/Infiniti is that the next Skyline GT-R that suppose to come to America is going to same as the Japanese counter part except it will meet US standards and come under the Infiniti name. But that could be wrong.
