It looks like the VG motor with the plastic removed and a polished plenum (sp?). Notice the intake going to the back of the motor on the right hand side.

Wow, I think it is! Notice the Skyline on the left....hmmm? Is that even possible? Engine block size is completely different, by what I thought atleast.. any pro-mechanics here that can explain? Possible to put a R32,33,34 Engine in the Z?

three things I noticed..

1. the dipstick is not in the original location

2. there doesn't seem to be any extra piping for turbocharger.
(but the sign says r33 turbo, hmm)

3. that girl is pretty cute!

I didn't even notice the engine before, but with the photoshop job, I would say it is a VQ without the plastic and a little bit of polish-work on some of the metal bits.

Notice the single intake pipe on the right side of the engine. The RB26DETT's turbos are on the right side of the engine. In a VQ35DETT () the twins would probably have intake piping on both sides.

The sign says Z 33 turbo....

I think it's a VQ with the cover off!
