Now I wonder how new of a platform is underneath and whether they really did just re-use the z34 with a new engine and tweaked front and rear end

To cut development costs, they just modified the Z34 chassis. Nissan is not going to spend billions on an all new chassis for a car that is not high volume. Throw in the V6 twin turbo from the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport, a manual transmission, updated interior and tech. Done! They didn't partner with another manufacturer like Toyota did with BMW either. I believe the GT-R is going to be a goner. They just don't sell enough of them to bother. They saw the failure of the NSX which has spooked them.
