i think that they are making a mistake pricing it like that, your "import scene people" typically arent going to be able to afford it. for instance, look at the popular tuner cars? with the exception of the evo, and the STi, what do your popular tuner cars have in common? a price tag under 30k...so theyre going to make an elitist tuner car??
also, i look forward to the engine, because they dont have a 3.8L V6 that i know of right now, and for a 3.5, woudl they be using the VQ35DE, but adding forced induction? that engine makes a crank output of 255/246, so running 12psi they could conceivably get their 400hp...
or are they going with a whole new drivetrain? the special that i watched on the tokyo auto show mentioned that they may even use a VK series engine, and boost that..but it is all speculation at this point.

Just a few pics... Not the best quality since they are from my camera phone.
1) After the KA24 (stock) motor was taken out
2) After engine bay was painted Aspen White Pearl (stock color)
3) Skyline motor with Greddy intake manifold
4) Different angle of motor
5) 90 mm throttle body off of an Infiniti Q45 I can get my whole arm up in the manifold and move it around
