For now though, we have no other data points so we have to use it, since data, even if faulty, is still better than someone's intuition when used as an estimate.

Not intuition. Lotsa years at a shop around Evo Xs, seeing hundreds of dyno pulls and real experience self-tuning, watching others tune, learning, and working on them. 311RS.com shows dynojet results bang on what I've seen bolt-on Xs make (~350whp). There's no witchcraft or mystery here, these are stock cam, stock injector and turbo mid 12 second cars that will trap 110mph all day on 93 octane.

Please educate us on the options, but use US prices for cars when comparing to the 311RS and UK prices for cars when comparing to the FQ440.

This means base GT-R's are $101,770 when compared to a 311RS and £77,995 ($129,838) when compared to the FQ440.
