I have that from the Super Street article last year.

They supposedly built a vq32de because the article mentions the usage of vq30 components but the motor still has the vq35 timing chain and heads

Makes sense. Keep revs high (VQ32), and use VQ35 techhnology (VTC's)

Sounds like some of the rumors I've read about other Nissan cars.

It has JUN pistons and rods also (IIRC) to keep compression down. I'll have to dig up the article

I should note that that vehicle is twin turbo'ed, so the manifold is for BOOST

It's semi Honda/Acura w/ less runner length

Reminds me also of the old SHO.

Unfortunately there isn't much media covering that car. I recall mentioning it on my350z.com and many people said that Super Street didn't know what they were talking about (in regards to the motor) and that most of it was speculative.

IIRC, the car was around 600+ ps

The engine has been given a significant overhaul, which allows it to produce the aforementioned 700 ps at an impressive 8,000 rpm; that's a hair over 690 hp for those of you not familiar with the metric system. Anyone who has spent enough track time behind the wheel of a 350Z will attest to the intrusive rev limiter, and the higher rev limit is a welcome improvement. What lets the VQ35 rev so high? Well, for starters, the engine's not even a VQ35; it's a VQ30 out of a Nissan Gloria (an Infiniti M45-offered in different JDM trim, naturally). After the original engine was pulled and the new mounts were made, it was time to go to work on the new powertrain. The obvious first step was to pop off the head. A set of JUN forged rods and pistons were installed to handle the extreme combustion. Then, a set of port-matched Top Secret SPL heads were equipped to ensure proper airflow and a clean combustion cycle. This engine was built to withstand the high levels of abuse it will undoubtedly receive. Top Secret's cars come at a considerable cost, so it uses the best products available to ensure durability.

Interesting... VQ30, but they retained the CVTC system.. I was thinking about doing this with a S13/Turbo setup.. The short runner length is obviously for making big power at high RPM.. I bet it could go higher than 8K..

I think it is a destroked 3.5 block. IIRC the engine description on the side of the article indicated vq35 block, vq30 crank.. or something along those lines. I'm still looking around for the issue

As listed in Super Street June 2004:

VQ32DET
HKS GTRS Turbo, Jun pistons, Top Secret SPL heads, full titanium exhaust
690hp, 8000 rpm rev limit

They say its a VQ30 out of a Nissan Gloria
