How do you KNOW that? Manufacturer's are cagey about that stuff. You don't hear Mercedes saying its current TT V6 is derived from the Pentastar, but it is.

Why does it matter? The engine code alone of "VR" means it's in the same family as the GT-R's engine and even if the design of the engine is based on something else, nissan still put a lot of work into it to make it their own

I just like to know who did the work. Like knowing the history of the 428 Cobrajet. Not taking anything away from Nissan, and I'm no fanboy, I understand the globalized nature of auto manufacturing. But if something is good, I look to know who is responsible. And if there are issues you can find out by searching what the Mercedes owners are saying.

EDIT: the fact that you mention it being in the same family as the GTR proves my point, engine lineage is interesting to car lovers.

I don't see why some of you get so offended that people want to know it's Mercedes sourced or if the RAW block comes from the Mercedes...???

REST ASSURED...

Unreliability in Mercedes is usually not ENGINE SOURCED.
Mercedes, like most German cars have u reliability in its electronic systems. But not as bad as BMW. Audi has now surpassed Mercedes in reliability.

Benz engines are solid. The merger between Nissan and Mercedes was so Mercedes can increase reliability and durability in their DCT transmission also Nissan's experience tuning the GTR Suspensions. Nissan has done that. Nissan needed better engine technology in there sports cars for more fuel efficiency and power numbers.
Mercedes has done that...
So even if Nissan developed the VR all by themself. It was done by learning a few things about engines from Benz first.

They need us.. we need them.

Cut the wack *** Nissan sub premium false pride... Be happy happy for the merger because the sharing of technology between them has made all this happen..

Don't lie to yourselves.

All I know is, my current Z will be paid off by 2017, so I'll be ready and waiting

It's either that or a 4C, as it looks like Toyota nixed a boosted FR-S, so bring on the Z35!!!

Seriously, how bad could it be? If it sucks that bad, I'll get a 2015 Nismo with the sexy new body kit and swap out my headers, shocks, etc. as needed

Oh that just put a huge smile on my face!

I bet the 300 hp one can be easily tweaked upwards quite a bit if the 400 hp version is substantially more money.

I cant wait to see that bad boy dropped inside a Z35

FI TT on the 3.7 w/10psi boost (on 91octane) puts down rear wheel #'s equivalent to a brand new GTR @ the crank!
I'm satisfied w/what i have.

But a block built for boost can go much higher than the 3.7 without going boom.

Also why are you only on 91 octane? Should be up on 93 lol
