Then have a stripped down entry version in the mid $30k for those who want a cheap car. This is the Mustang formula and it works. Sadly though this will never happen because the Z doesn't sell in volumes like the domestics, so I doubt well see multiple iterations. I'd be shocked if we see two engine options like the z32 days

The Z just won't survive that way. The only way t will work is if they do something dramatic like....
a) make huge changes to the car every year or two and raise the MSRP along with the changes...
Example:
2017 Z35 comes standard climate control and 6 way power seat for $35,000
2018 Z35 comes standard with dual zone climate control and 12 way power seat. $37,000.
2019 comes standard with leather and a bump of 20hp and standard homelink mirror. $40,000
2020 dramatic refresh... $42,000
nissan just can't bump the price meninglessly and without justifiable means.
