  AutoSpeed - The VL Commodore Six - Part 2
Their six cylinder engines were technical dinosaurs - even the injected VK 3.3 litre six had only a modest power output and was the result of the constant evolution of a design first sold no less than 23 years previously.
So a Nissan engine had been picked to power the 1986 VL Commodore; the Holden sixes were to be unmourned in their departure.
The engine was the Nissan RB30E, a SOHC in-line six with a 3-litre capacity.

 Nissan Skyline - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Nissan took the unusual step of down grading the GTS model to have only the RB20E, while the twin-cam of the R32 GTS was discontinued along with the 2.0 L turbo RB20DET.
To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Nissan introduced a very rare 4 door GT-R. Two versions of the 4-door GT-R were avaiable from Nissan's subsidiaries: the first was produced by Autech, and the second was a joint Autech/Nismo project.
The 11th generation (V35) Nissan Skyline, introduced in June 2001, is based on Nissan's FM platform, which is shared with the 350Z.

 Wikipedia - Ford Yamaha V8 Engine
Now at 4.4 L, the V8 engine is unique in Ford's wide range of V8 engines in that it is designed for transverse use and has a V6-like 60° bank angle.
The preventive measure of welding the cam sprocket to the camshaft soon proved to be a fix for engines that had not suffered such a fate yet [1].
The engine is a 4.4 L aluminum DOHC V8 which produces 311 hp (232 kW) and 325 ft·lbf (441 N·m).

 Import Racer: "Godzilla_Returns" - GTR Forums | 2007 - 2008 Nissan Skyline GT-R | GTR Proto Community
A bit of research reveals that Nissan does have multiple AWD patents and trademarks; one of these existing systems would likely end up on the 2007 GT-R. Rumors abound of collaboration between British tuners, Cosworth for engine and Lotus for suspension.
The idea of Nissan using racing series to test the mettle of an engine intended for its golden sports car is far from farfetched.
Nissan will detune the engine down towards the 400 horsepower range to meet emissions and keep costs down.

 Collection of R35/V35 Information - GTR Forums | 2007 - 2008 Nissan Skyline GT-R | GTR Proto Community
Nissan's John Yukawa confirmed that a new 200SX was on the way and that it would stay true to the philosophy of its predecessor.
Nissan knows it has to do something really special with the next GT-R, partly because the 350Z performs so well, but also as it's the first globally oriented version of the car, and expectations are high among the 'Playstation generation' of buyers who are familiar with the model from video games consoles.
Nissan is developing a new generation of GT-R for the 21st Century with the aim of placing it in the spotlight of the global stage, beyond the borders of the Japanese market.

 Holden Heaven. Holden VL Commodore
And as for the engine, finaly the holden 6 cylinder motor was put out to pasture after 23 years and Holden imported a built up Nissan 3.0 six cylinder that was also available in turbo form.
Also with this new engine the bonnet was able to be lowered for better aerodynamics which reduced the drag and increased fuel economy at highway cruising speeds.
The engines in the Group A were strengthened with stronger rods and cranks and used a lightened flywheel.

 FX-tra Special - Nissan Motor Co Ltd luxury division, Infiniti Ward's Auto World - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Officials at Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.'s luxury division beg for comparisons between their luxury CUV and the Porsches and BMWs of the world - much the same way Infiniti last year threw down the gauntlet directly in front of the BMW 3-Series with its outstanding G35 sedan and coupe.
Yes, the family resemblance between Nissan's new Murano CUV and Infiniti's equally handsome FX is hard to miss.
The all-wheel-drive system, standard with both engines, borrows from Nissan's Skyline GTR super car: Its central component is an electromagnetic clutch-pack center differential that varies the tractive force sent to front or rear axles.

 Holden Commodore VL
The engineers sought to soften the lines of the VL, rounding off the panels and introducing a small tail spoiler built into the boot lid.
The engine received new pistons which lowered the compression ratio from 9.0:1 to 7.8:1, while an updated camshaft was used to reduce overlap.
The Garrett turbo unit was fitted inside a water-cooled housing to ensure longevity, and while many had predicted the introduction of a Nissan engine to Australia's favourite car would prove disastorous at the dealerships, many began to praise the power and smoothness afforded by the Japanese unit.

The width of the VH45DE engine is the same as both the 350 and 300Z engine, only longer.
It even looks 100% different than the VH (although the engine mounts and bolt-on for the flywheel are the same as even a V32).

 Holden Engine Run Down
In 1958 this engine gained a little more power through an altered camshaft and a further increase in the compression ratio to 7.0:1.
By this time the red engine line-up comprised the 161 (2638cc), which also had a low compression variant available, the 186 (3047cc)six, and the high performance 186S.

Clutch is slipping (typical after heavy modifications to the engine).
The R35 Skyline may not be a V8...more likely a twin-turbo V6...maybe just the 350Z with twin-turbos...they probably won't go V8 because they're a lot heavier and Nissan doesn't really make any V8's and I don't think they will bother making a V8 for the Skyline...besides, a twin-turbo V6 can own a V8 so yea...
