Same floor pan. Same V6 engine except G35 makes a bit less power. G35 doesn't have as many alloy bits underneath it, so Z is about 100Kg lighter. A few bhp and lower weight gives it slight edge on 0-60 and

G35 is saloon car height at 54.8in about 1" taller than BMW M3 but still 3" lower than modern saloons. Late 70's Bluebird 910 1.8GL coupe was lower. Z is 51.8in high, only 1/2" taller than a new 911 but that's still 2" too tall.

So long as you compare to the regular 2.5L single turbo Skyline GT-S it comes up OK.

The 2007 GT-R has been delayed again and is now the 2008 GT-R.

ah reading on the web there are 2 versions of the G35, the saloon as said makes less power (depending on the 2.5 or 3 litre) it's about 220-260bhp respectively. but they do a coupe with the 3.5 V6 out of the 350Z with the same 286bhp (before they upped the current Z to 300bhp i presume) but weigh's in a bit heavier.

can't wait to see the GTR, and i know it's a bit sad to reply to my own post but f*ck all people was replying so i made the effort (eventually) and googled a bit :)
