Wonder if Nissan sells anything in the US with that rear axle. If so, would you have any idea what they'd be called over here?

Later model Skylines were sold in NA as the Infiniti G35, G37, etc. The only real bogies with these are the currently available limited slip units are quite a bit more $$ than similar ones for the Ford 8.8, etc.

I've attached a JPG showing the rear suspension assembly (including subframe) from the G35 sedan. I believe the G35 coupe is very similar, as is the Nissan 350Z and 370Z coupes. FWIW, there's a lot of aluminum in these, including the control arms. Track width for the G35 is 59.3", while I believe the FFR standard rear track width is around 58" - so the G35 is a touch wider.
