this engine sounds like an awesome engine. seems like it would be an awesome swap for a 240. right now they are probably really hard to get since its a new engine in japan. but if u have a hook up u might be able to get one cheap. here are the specs off of wikipedia.

VQ25DE
This engine is similar to the VQ20DE, but has a 2.5 L (2,495 cc) displacement. Bore and stroke are 85 mm and 73.3 mm, with a compression ratio of 10 to 10.3:1. It produces 190 PS to 210 PS (136 kW to 154 kW) @6400 rpm and 174 to 195 ft·lbf (236 to 265 Nm). Later versions produce 186 PS (136 kW) @6000 rpm and 171 ft·lbf (232 Nm) @3200 rpm.
It is fitted to the following vehicles:
VQ25DD

The 2.5 L (2,495 cc) VQ25DD uses direct fuel injection (NEO-Di) and eVTC (electronically controlled continuously variable valve timing). It produces 210 to 215 PS (154 to 158 kW) @6400 rpm and 195 to 199 ft·lbf (264 to 270 Nm) @4400 rpm. Bore and stroke are 85 mm and 73.3 mm respectively, with a high compression ratio of 11 to 11.3:1.

VQ25DET

The VQ25DET is a turbocharged 2.5 L (2495 cc) engine with CVTC. It produces 280 PS (206 kW) @6400 rpm and 300 ft·lbf (407 Nm) @3200 rpm. Bore and stroke are 85 mm and 73.3 mm. Compression ratio is 8:5:1.

VQ25HR

Nissan updated the VQ line for 2007. The 2.5 L VQ25HR (for "High Revolution" or "High Response") is only available on rear wheel drive vehicles. It produces 225 PS (165 kW) @6800 rpm and 194 ft·lbf (263 Nm) @4800 rpm with a compression ratio of 10.6:1. It has CVTC, microfinished camshafts and redline of 7500 rpm. The intake is a high-flow tuned induction system.
A Nissan Skyline equipped with this engine was used by Nissan engineers to prove it was possible to achieve 1000 km (636.5 miles) on one tank of petrol for an overall fuel economy of 6.14 L/100km (38.3 miles per gallon).[1]

if you are good, and compete in higher up events you need a tow hook or two, so the officials can pull you off easier when you crash.

same with drag and road racing.

Yea, I'm going to miss my VQ engine once my Maxima sells...oh well. I'm sure the ka-t will serve me just fine.

I also came across the VQ25det the other day on wiki. I'm thinking this would be a great powerplant for the s16 silvia when it finally comes out. Hopefully the stagea is the engine development for the new 240/silvia.
