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.

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.
