definately... bulletproof motor.. but both are rated at 280hp. (271 evo, wise asses out there) but the skyline is MUCH heavier.

but some computer tweaks yeild 100+hp on a gt-r.

Thats just how the japenesse to things. It's an unwritten agreement between japanesse manufactures not to make a production rating of over 280hp. (or atleast it used to be that way). Even tho changing some computer numbers free's up alot of hp.
