From his link above, the GT-R uses 6-quarts Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W40. For the Z I use 5W-30, which is recommended by Nissan. If you have 0W40 in there now, I'm not sure whether you should immediately change it out or not. I know I would just because I'm like that, but perhaps someone else can weigh in with a more precise answer.
I believe it is "ester-based oil" and there are numerous threads on this topic already.
