anyone know much about this 5.6L DOHC 32V V8?

i think the engine code is VK56DE

makes 236kW (meh) and 515Nm (impressive) standard

just wondering if anyone has seen 'em modified/fitted to cars in AU?

only ever seen a VH dropped into anything.

would be cool seein one of those in a GTR though, complete with AWD

My dad saw & sat inside a Nissan Armada at a dealer in Qatar (Basically an SUV version of the Titan pick up truck.), and he told me that it was really huge! The truck is waaay larger than a Land Cruiser (And has more macho looks too!)!

Nissan Australia should consider importing the Nissan Armada from the US (Both cars are built at a factory in Mississippi.) to take advantage of the free trade agreement with the US & convert them into RHD locally!

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing the Armada & Titan replacing the Patrol & the pick up truck version of it in Australia, except for one thing, only one engine option is offered, a 5.6L petrol V8. No diesels or turbo diesels in the US (But I think Nissan have got the resources & money to engineer a diesel engine from the Patrol as an option and they should do it!).

Have you seen the latest Cimas, theres a 4.5 V8 awd version - might be better as it will be suited to a car (i.e. diff/gearbox setup) and not a hulking great ute.
