Anything is possible, with enough money.

That said, GTR would be near impossible, espeially given the transmission/drivetrain issues.

Would assume the VQ37 would fit and mounting would be pretty close to stock, but wiring is going to be the issue on those.

Much easier to rebuild a VQ35, then add boost if you want more power.

+1 to what Biggie said

you can do lots of things - but in the end your best route it you keep the engine in the Nissan family is to stay with a stock motor and just build it stronger or build for boost. No sense doing anything with the VQ35HR/VQ37HR or VR38TT motor as the cost to install will far outweight the advantage/initial cost of the motor.

You can get a spare VQ35DE (stock motor for 03-06) and build it to make it much stronger if thats what you are looking for

navigation can be found but its very different from the GTR. To have a similar setup you will spend a grip on sensors/gauges or a screen that can integrate with the sensors.

HKS makes the CAMP2 which will do this but its not cheap - looks super sexy though.

Also remember that if you change the engine, you'll need to change the wiring harness. You may be better off using the same engine, but built up with forged internals and go forced induction. Twin turbo G's are HOT!
