I'm thinking they might add DI at some point. I guess it would add somewhere in the range of 10-12 hp and 5-7 lb./ft. of tq. Small increase in gas mileage too.

On other car forums I browse which have cars with DI, some members complain a lot about ticking noises that sound like something is wrong with the engine. It's apparently normal.

Like I posted earlier in this thread, Nissan should've stuck the 4.5 V8 from the previous gen M45 in this Z.

Why? The Z is meant to be a V6, maybe in the future they will move over to a V8 after they feel the V6 is inadequate but the V6 is great right now.

I guess I'm just being greedy. The last 2 gen Z's were 6 cyl, so I thought there was a chance Nissan might move the Z upmarket to an 8. I agree with you that this V6 is great.
