Default Top Secret VQ32
VQ32 Skyline, shown at the beginning of the year at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Gone is the RB26 and the AWD, replaced by a VQ35DE from the Z33 and V35. Custom carbon fiber fed airbox. 6 throttle NA with sexy gold trumpet Cherrys on top.

Also i like the air intake channel's on both sides of the bay, with the runners on the bottom side of the hood going into the ITB's.. BALLER!

it's a beautifully crafted engine bay, and the whole car, for that matter. However I can't understand the logic of replacing a turbo motor for a n/a. All that work to go slower

RB26 was rated at 280ps, same as this motor, and I'm going to estimate the torque is roughly the same

So you did all that work for a lateral move. Sure looks nice in pictures though
