Just looked it up. They started using the VR38DETT in 2007… At least they have the VR35DDTT now.

No R2, we need to be going up not down
Yeah like a 7.0 liter from an old Mustang. Over 300 ponies!
Thats more than I would have thought
I have a 370, and this thing needs an update.
it got one
The 370Z, my favorite decade of car generations
I want a 400. But damn, Im broke.
Why did these things ever become "supercars" again? The R32-R34 were cool IMO (in video games) because they were like a 30 year old's chimera of a full sized sports car for reasonable money second hand. It would have been cool to own one in the USA, but I thought of them like a 2 door Mitsubishi Galant VR4. Why did they ever become this status monstrosity? It is a 2 door Camry with rear wheel drive. I loved by Z32 as a teen. The Z as a super makes a tiny bit more sense, but not really.
Except the GTR was all wheel drive not rear wheel drive and 1:08 faster around the nurburgring than the C5 corvette which was sold at the same time.
The R35 has apparently completed the Nurburgring in 7:19.1 which puts it just behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV at 7:18.
Thats why its arguably a supercar, because it can turn up to a big dollar track day and the guys in half a million dollar german and Italian mid engined supercars might look down on you for being there in a Nissan but they also dont want to get their doors blown off by one and they know its a possibility.
I loved the R32-R34 in the late 90s. I still do. They were raw sports cars. Since I'm in the States they have never been affordable and 25 years later still don't have the disposable income to get one.
The R35 was different from the beginning. More refined, etc...
Boring in my mind.
