Excellent point. Before Fast Five came out, I met this guy at my Mitsubishi dealership's waiting room who ended up having been a CGI guy or something for a lot of big-budget movies. He told me a few things about the movie that ended up being correct (and not just stuff from the trailers either) and while he didn't confirm anything about the GT-R when I asked if it would have screen time, he did say that I "might see it doing some stuff."
However, the GT-R was indeed at the end of the film, but the movie ends without even seeing the car move. However, looking at the trend of the director's films in the franchise, the movies end with a race sequence (or at least something involving cars doing stuff), then it cuts off right before something exciting happens. The first F&F6 trailer did show the GT-R and the Challenger driving alongside each other, which is likely a continuation of the end scene of the previous movie, so it's likely that they did film the scene back in 2010-2011 without needing to re-do everything, so the footage was left on the cutting room floor until recently.
