I've heard from a few reputable sources.. that the GT-R's VQ will feature a variable valve lift system.. however, It is NOTHING like Nissan/Honda's current VVL setup.. which uses oil pressure to engage rockers on a shaft, which come into contact with the bigger cam lobes.
The new setup (designed by Cosworth), will feature a gear based system.. While I'm not sure as to the specifics.. I do know that Cosworth has spent almost 2 years developing/testing, and they're WAY over budget for what Nissan intended to spend. Hopefully, it all pans out, and we see a VVL VQ series engine.. Word is, that if it indeed does pan out.. we'll see a N/A version of this engine in future Z/G RWD vehicles. It should be possible to swap the heads to a FWD block.. time will tell.
