Simple, Nissan has a gap to fill with the 370z. The GT-R is their competitor for the vette, and that left a huge void in the affordable sports car category which the Z filled. Not only would a V8 Z be more expensive than the V6, but it would also cannibalize GT-R sales if the two were close in performance.

I will say that a V8 would have been so cool though. I would have definitely shelled out an extra 10k for that.
