The realistic options would be direct injection ASAP, then FI, maybe.
Yeah, the GT-R motor build process is way too labor intensive and was not meant for mass production:

Motoring J Style: Building the Nissan GTR engine - Inside the clean room.

I think direct injection is the next step with the VQ, will yield more economy and power.
