I'm quite ignorant of the power train on the Nissan GTRs, but did any of them come with a V8? If so, I wonder if that'd be something to consider, considering what you said about an AL V8 block's weight distribution.
Oops i didnt clearify my self. By sequential I ment turbo setup to allow for less turbo lag. Only problem is it requires a good amount of piping and piping takes up space.

GTR's never came with a V8. The R35 GTR's have an aluminum V6 with twin turbos which if I had a huge budget for a build I would use that motor. Its strong as hell and would be far more one off than any 2jz swap. Though i would guess it would also cost 2-3 times more lol
