I just don't get it. How much more would it really cost for nissan to install forged rods and pistons. At least as an option or in the nismo for crying out loud. If my car had the strength to handle FI and enjoy a longer life it would be a lot farther along mod wise than it is now. Wake up nissan.

It might be hard for them to justify the engineering to produce those types of parts in order for the forged internals to meet OEM specifications for durability. Besides, there probably isn't enough demand from the average 370Z buyer to justify the additional cost.
