Specs are on the main nismo site, http://www.nismo.co.jp/M_SPORTS/2002/z33/index.html

It looks like it's the JGTC GT300 engine, and is a VQ35DE.

Good news guys! I spoke with my Nissan Engineer connection who put me in touch with NISMO's N. America distribution V.P. I have one of these on order!!!
Now it ain't exactly cheap... $22,000.00 to be exact. But IMO it is a solid solution/alternative to our lack of hp without having to go F/I.
