Direct injection would make since with the current engine. It would help Nissan make MPG goals and an added bonus of a bump in HP. However in terms of making the Z more profitable so it doesnt go the way of pontiac a turbo 6 for the regular Z would greatly increase overall cost of production with the inability of Nissan to raise the price.

I fully believe that the NISMO should be around $50k with a TT setup.

I suspect they would make the TT an option, like they did with the 280zx and 300zx(es). It does beg the question as to whether there is a market for both versions though, and whether development would be profitable. I mean what market/competition would a 50k 380z be in? That risks repeating the mistakes of the last gen 300zx. From what I can figure, a 1990 TT cost about 32k which is ~52k today. By 1995 it was closer to 43.5K (61K today).
