The race engines may be cool, but the real-life version turned out to be prone to quite serious oil consumption issues as it ages. A lot of people's engines ended up grenading and having to be replaced around the 75K-mile mark.
Nissan never fixed the problem, since the engine was already out of production by the time the problems manifested themselves, so to people still under warranty they just gave replacement engines, which will most likely end up doing the same thing.

Hopefully the VK56 will prove to last a bit longer.
