40th Anniversary Edition 370z???

dweedlebug

As mentioned already/elsewhere, they introduce upgrades that then become standard on the subsequent model (The 35th Anniv. had the rev-up motor).

I just don't think they can do much more with the current VQ block.

Don't get me wrong, it's a hell of a thing, but what could they really do next?

V8? -- I don't think so.
Bore the 3.7? -- To what, 3.9 or more ... How much can this really yield?
Direct Injection? -- Usually an *easy* way to add HP, increase economy.
Forced Induction? -- Cost prohibitive (ie - the next 300zx in the making)
Stroke the 3.7/3.9+? -- a) I thought that's how they already got the extra .2l we're at now; b) We're spinning 7.5k rpm already; c) This aint a damn Honda, I want/like torque.

Nismo 370z

Well who knows. I mean Nissan did add and extra 13hp to the VQ35DE. Yeah the tq suffered but still people bought them. I mean if they can add an extra 10-20hp by adding direct injection or any other mild upgrades that would be pretty cool. But u are right...i dont see them adding a VK V8 or go FI with the Z. And I dont think we will see any factory bore/stroked VQ's until the next Z.

Yeah I don't think they are going to do anything but some badges, special paint n interior, and as far as mechanical.
I'm 100% sure u won't see a turbo.
Direct injection is to much reversion for a one year edition.
No boring.... how u gonna have a 3.9 litre 370z?
Exhaust tune? Slim chance but possible
What I see is not much at all.
Maybe an ecu tune n possibly some special short throw smooth shifter...possibly?
I think it won't be as special as the 350 with the extra 13hp.
