The key factor here (for ANY engine) is how you take care of it.

I was told by numerous people at Nissan that the current VQ was actually built for longevity and performance wasn't their main priority, although they did pretty well in the performance dept.

Given proper maintenance, any modern Japanes engine should last at least 250K regardless how it is driven.
