The 3.2L V6 would just be a different version of the VQ-series engine that made its US debut in 1995.
The VQ32 is not in production yet. However, it would not be too difficult to build your own using factory parts. Here's how:
A VQ35 block is bored .2L greater than a VQ30. The rest of the increase comes from added stroke. So, replace the VQ35 crank and rods with those from the VQ30, and you have a VQ32 engine. The VQ was always an oversquare(bore > stroke) design, and a VQ32 would be especially so. It should love to rev.
The VQ used in the JGTC(now known as Super GT) is a twin turbo 3L. The VQ30DETT first saw action in the R34 Skyline during the 2003 season. The R34s using the VQ not only won the driver's championship but also the manufacturer's title. A nice swan song, since it was the last year for the R34 Skyline to be used. Now the VQ is used in the Z33 Fairlady Z, a chassis that has put the VQ to even better use.
The GT-R should use an updated form of the FM platform(its already much stiffer than the older GT-Rs), so it should really scream.
