I jst saw this in a Japanese auto magazine
it says with picture
2005 blablabla(in Japanese) V8 VK45DD vs 2005 GS400
assuming and guessing what it say would be that nissan is planning to put the v8 from the current Q into the G compete against with the upcoming GS
sorry cant give more 411 on this,
but heres a pix of the G in the magazine
it has that flare fender on the back
hope this is their answer to the M
the ultimate RWD machine

That would be a killer car!

 

That's a dangerous amount of speculation without a lot more information being provided...

"All the Power in the World resides in the Eyes..."

 

Would that engine even fit in our engine bay?

2003.5 G35 Sedan Desert Platinum/Graphite Premium/Sport/Aero/Nav/Winter

 

Sure with enough banging and shoving, of course the V8 would fit.

 

i like how the body flairs out over the rear tires of this car in the pic. styling cue that reminds me of the R-34...

 

The Skyline looks like it was tuned by Nismo...check the front badge...looks like the Nismo Emblem...

Where'd you find that pic? All I found was that the prototype Fairlady (350Z) will be released as a 2007.
The Skyline will also release a 70th anniversary edition with special colors, interior colors and special air purifier. Might only be in Japan, but who knows.

 

Of couse the VK45 will fit. That the same engine used in the FX45. Only problem is weight dist. would be messed up.

 

The FX has a taller engine bay, does it not?

Yeah, weight distribution will move a little forward.. could probably be remedied a bit by moving the battery to the trunk, though.

It'll fit but it isn't necessary...I'm willing to bet it's just a show car with a swap...Like the TS RB26DETT to VQ35DE swap...

"All the Power in the World resides in the Eyes..."

 

Fx has the same engine bay from what I read and also read that V8 weight hevily more.

 

Oh yeah, the VK weighs significantly more than the VQ...I'm not saying that the V8 won't fit, I'm saying that there's no need for Nissan to plant the VK into the G...That isn't this model's purpose...That's why the M45 and Q45 exist...

"All the Power in the World resides in the Eyes..."

 

Of course its not its models purpose but I be there would be tuners out there putting that engine in the G or the Z. M45 and Q45 are not really that sporty as the G is. But Infiniti might bring out a G45 just to keep up with the competion but that won't be till at least another 2 years from now.
