The LQ1 V6. They took a 3.1L pushrod V6 from a normal Lumina, bored it out to 3.4L, gave it a set of high flowing, free revving DOHC 4 valve per cylinder heads.
They made great power and they screamed like a banshee to a high 7000 RPM redline.
But when shit broke, they were a bitch to work on. Just replacing the alternator is an 8 hour job.
>were they fast?
for the time. If you managed to grab one with the rare 5 speed manual, you could do a 1/4 mile in 15 seconds flat. automatics did 15.5 on average.
Bottom line: cobbled together, made a great noise, went like stink, shit to work on

This shit. I don't understand why everyone with a hemi doesn't just do an ls swap.

One of the lead engineers for the Skyline HATED the engine for those reasons and wanted to switch to a V6 as early as the R33. The reason they didn't wasn't because it was a bad decision, but because it simply would've cost too much to re-engineer the chassis to fit a V6.
That's why when given the choice of engines on the new V35, they dropped that I6 like a hot potato and embraced the V6 with love.

what. I replaced mine in my z34 in like 2 hours.

if you take it to any shop, the labor charge is 8 hours.
BTW, 2 hours is still horrendous for changing an alternator. It should be half an hour at most.
