A VH will hold stupid amounts of power. I remember reading about some guys that build race boats in New Zealand using them. IIRC they were getting around 2000HP They said a Toyota V8 tore itself in half a little over 1000 and were bragging on the Nissan V8. I don't remember where that was, but Google should help.

I know because this swap i wanted to do. Thats about the only issue i can think of.
Ignore this^ I mistaked the vq45de wit the vk56 lol. Im also interested in this swap.

^There is no VQ45. Only VK45 and VH45 (and VH41) the VK is designed after the VQ though.

nothing new to Nissan (actually Datsun) - 240/260/280 have been dropping V8s for years.

^They still haven't done a V8 sports car though, despite the fact that all manner of V8's have been put into the Z cars. They should release a limited edition 560Z with the new M56 engine. Just run off like 500-1000 numbered collector's models. I think it would be cool.

first of all - I said it years ago... I said there would be a TT G before the GTR came out... said it to DaveO and posted out here and on my350Z (said it when no one else was even thinking it).

But the way things have gone - it's very, very, very doubtful.

I would bet Nissan follows others with mostly eco cars...

I'd rather see a G56 before a TT G37 IMHO. Especially with the 23473-2478324 electric nannies attached to that motor. But the M56 is getting a hybrid and diesel options I believe.
