40th Anniversary Edition 370z???

I'm curious to see if the g37 gets a new engine, the g37 should get the new engine first then 370z the year after.

What engine, exactly?

IMHO -- I do not see them putting a V8 in these cars. The GTR motor is too limited in production. The VQ's of yore are smaller/less powerful.

The realistic options would be direct injection ASAP, then FI, maybe.

Yeah, the GT-R motor build process is way too labor intensive and was not meant for mass production:

I think direct injection is the next step with the VQ, will yield more economy and power.
