Spoke to Nissan rep at Philly car show

ThoriumHotdog

Grr. Maybe I will wait to 2012. I wasn't really expecting power boost.

iceman21_23

no offense but if there is no official leak i wouldn't bet money on it... a nissan rep knows nothing about whats in the pipeline consider them a glorified salesmen.

CrownR426

I highly doubt this.
Maybe 2014. lol...
I'm sure they'll do some mods to the body but not the engine itself.

The 2014 is perfect for upgrade! 2012 is only 3 years gap.

We're not talking about an "all new model". We're talking about a change to the engine that will increase fuel efficiency and also HP. This won't require the years of testing and design and retooling a manufacturing line. If the engine is going to be built for the G coupe then why not put it in the Z too. The only reasons I could think of is price point or supply.

The 350z got a bump in horsepower after only two years, so doing it after three would certainly not be a deterrent for Nissan.

sonic370

if the next Z motor is as a big improvement as the current one is over the 350
everything will be fine. we all won't to compare the 370 with the v8 camaro
and 5.0 mustang but imho that's not a fair comparison.

the 370 appeals to select few and always will.
the other two are bloated muscle cars.

Seems a little soon for them to do this. Maybe in a couple more years. I'm not buying until december so if it's true, I'll count myself lucky.

PapoZalsa

360HP for the base Z or the Nismo? Where is the increase in HP is going to come from?

I really don't see this happening for 2012. Maybe on the next model Z35. They havn't even really addressed the oil cooling issues yet.

Argh!!! I was dreading this for a while now... Who knows if its true, but if it is, I'm going to wish mine had it. Anyway, I believe the Infiniti M56 already has DI injection, so Nissan has the technology in place already. Rumors have been floating around for a while now, that the G was getting it next. So these rumors aren't too far off.

QFT! thats why i see some validity in this...a DI Z would be awesome

The discrepancy here, is it a 28 HP gain or 10HP. From a less than certain source. To put off the purchase of a car based on this seems a little silly. The extra money Nissan will charge may very well be off set by an exhaust and CAI's today. Maybe not.

well i got my Z so am ok, but its not just the "out of the box" numbers that matter here. DI is more tuneable by far, mod for mod it will squueze out a little more HP than non DI...once you do they math on a full bolt on and tuned Z, its a very significant.

Cadillac has a DI and NON DI CTS, with that bieng the only diff, offered same year...one makes 304hp 274tq, the non DI make like 264hp and 250ish tq....
