Then you have AWD FI Z at a fraction of the cost of doing it any other way I can think of, and virtually everything should be a direct fit.
Is the X AWD not that stout or all that good or something? Is anyone boosting them in a G for that matter?

Slapping the G37x's drivetrain into the Z is plausable, but likely expensive as hell. You'd be better off sticking with the G37x and boosting it. You won't really be gaining much by switching bodies....just a whole lot of headache.
I don't know enough about the AWD system on the G, but I believe the GT-R's system has virtually nothing in common with that setup. It has a DCT for one, a transaxle & of course the ATTESA E-TS system.
Stuff like GT-R engine swaps is best left to those insane enough to do it and the bank to back it up. The only scenario where this sort of makes sense is if someone can get their hands on a dirt cheap VR38DETT and have the technical skills to pull it off on their own. Heck, people have done a lot more just for bragging rights.
