It's a Nissan, in stock form, I'd argue that it is no more or less reliable than any of the other current Japanese offerings. The VQ has been around forever, hopefully they have made refinements to the platform over the years. The VVEL heads are new, but aside from lack of good tuners, they seem to be pretty stout.
Just don't alter the 7500 redline with a tune. The stock oil pump does not like 8000+ and will fail, leading to a blown motor. Of course, there is always the Nismo pump upgrade, which can handle more revs.
