Yes technology gets cheaper down the line as parts are produced and become widely available and so on but, its to early and I doubt that a Z with this type of technology would be in the 40k to 45k rage. Unless Nissan plans to push the Z up into the 50k and up which will then compete with a different car market and loose money to other cars.

I love my Z but for 50k and up I rather get a Corvette.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. The linked articles aren't really breaking news, so the entire discussion could be a moot point. But, with the IDX potentially being the "under $30k" sports car, the Z could very easily move upmarket. It would require significant changes, but some trickle-down from the GTR could take care of that.
