Short version:
Like everyone has pointed out, Nissan doesn't have money to develop a new RWD sports car platform because they're broke and people don't buy sports cars. It only works if it can be shared across multiple releases
This is why Toyota is using the Z4 platform - it's cheaper to license existing stuff than develop it on your own.
This post claims the Z35 will use the CV37 Infiniti Q60 coupe platform, which is itself based on the same FM platform that started in in the 350Z/G35. In other words . . . this is gonna be a Z34.5
a long version of what we've all heard before, with history thrown in
I bet SPL is gonna love this. All their arms and crap are going to be easily adapted to yet another car
Mildly updated FM platform + VR30DETT + new front/rear end = 400Z
