You're right, it is a VR engine. But my point was that even though the name changes don't you think Nissan learned alot from the VQ engine? Do you think Nissan would have been able to build a VR engine without previous experience from the VQ engine?

Yes. It took Nissan 8 years to develop the GT-R. And Nissan has had great motors long before the VQ - the VG and even VE were indestructible. It's not like in one fell swoop Nissan knew exactly what kind of motor to design and use for the GT-R. It took countless changes and many years.
