I ask because I work for Nissan and we had a rep come in today and tell me it stood for 'very quiet'. That is ridiculous to me and I refuse to believe it! Somebody help me out. I'm thinking it has to have something to do with it being a V6, because all Nissan V-configuration engines start with V, but I am really grasping at straws here. Thanks for any help!

VQ-Engine Model
35-3.5 Liter
D- Dual Overhead Cam
E- Electronic Fuel injection

Now we can see with each upgraded engine the air flow restrictions are improved thus keeping its VQ name. Just call it an engineers pun.
