Here are a couple of solutions http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...ing-ducts.html STILLEN : STILLEN 370Z Brake Cooling Kit As mentioned, Nissan is not going to offically coment on a 2014 model until 2nd QTR+ of 2013. Why would you torpedo sales that are already hard to come by? But there will always be speculation ;) |

Cmike mentioned it as an example of something that Nissan had corrected, which I haven't seen anything on. Hence why I asked the questioned. :D |

I heard Nissan is releasing a "50 shades of gray" edition in 2014. To celebrate all the silver and gray options.

According to Nissan the next Z will be lighter and they also speculated the possibility of a boosted 4-cyl.
Nothing is firm, but they did indicate that the Z isn't going anywhere just yet, and that a new concept will be revealed within the next year or two. A 2015-2016 release date for next gen sounds about right, but again, nothing offical has been confirmed. |

Yes, but possibly a 380Z for 2015??
|
The overall idea for 2015 Z is to make it lighter and more efficient, chance they'll drop V6..
2015 Nissan Z May Be Lighter, Leaner |
Point blank, you will have to wait and hear the official word from Nissan. In the mean time you will have to know that I'm driving my '09 having a blast.

This might be the rumored "smaller" Z. I can't imagine a Z with less power than the 370 for the next gen, no matter how light they make it. Smaller displacement turbo 6-cylinder is still my guess. Enthusiast that will buy this car will be surely disappointed if its less powerful. By the time the FRS/BRZ fad wears off, most will crave more hp again...heck they already do. A new, more "sports car" mustang is also on the horizon and I doubt ford would dare get rid of the V8.

The 370Z has had a tough go as far as actual vs. projected sales numbers go. Given the future climate for fuel (high gas prices and high fleetwide average MPG requirements) I wouldn't be surprised if Nissan makes such a move... perhaps offering a NA 4 and a turbo 4 like we might see out of the BRZ. Or perhaps they will keep the Z in its current segment but offer multiple engine configurations like Genesis, Mustang, Camaro, etc. I have my doubts about this, though. As far as the V8 in the Mustang... it's not supposed to be going anywhere. Rumors for the next gen are a turbo 2.3L I4 and turbo 5.0 V8. All direct injected with mid-high 30mpg highway fuel econ. |

300 bhp put of a (>2.0) turboed 4 is very doable. I'm thinking 3100 lbs, 310 bhp turbo 4 OR 3250 lbs 350 bhp NA V6. Then it's just a matter of selecting your preferred flavor. |
Maybe a turbo option would make it 'feel' faster (as oposed to the flat torque curve on the current). Also maybe a turbo option would make it easier to upgrade? As long as the sports car spirit of the car is retained, and its a great driving experiance, ill buy it. No need for pushing big performance numbers or being practical, thats what the GTR is for.

Hoping the rumors are true and the next Z is based off Esflow concept.

I'm sorry but that car is :superghey:
|
To me, the Esflow looks like some odd mixup of a Saturn Sky and a current Mazda6 / RX8.
Those buldging wheel arches stand out a bit too much for my taste and the arse is oddly abrupt, bubbled and lifted. I'm soooo biased, but I think the current 370Z (in any trim) is about as visually impressive as the Z has ever been. Will it change, sure it will. Hopefully a tad lighter and a tad more powerful. Only time will tell. I just know this is a great time to own one of these machines. |

if the Z becomes 4cyl turbo my days of being a fan are over.
the esflow makes me wann vommit. |
the esflow is pretty hideous in my opinion
|
now the Infiniti Essence concept would be great for base the next Z off of.
|
nissan i just dont' get them
|
is it not odd that we're in march and still no word about a 2014 370z? (aside from the nismo)
|
i doubt there will be many changes this year, i think the majority of the changes will be MY2015
|
:iagree: I doubt that 2014's will see any change, I mean come on they gotta ride that front bumper "refresh" (:roflpuke2:) as long as they can :bowrofl:

Look at the 07 G35. For one year it ran the VQ35vhr. The Z ran it for 2 07/08. In 08 the G already had the VQ37vhr. then in 09 the 370z followed, debuting with the same engine So you never know? it's always a weirdly timed surprise with nissan? they might earn the extra money for the refreshes by having a year 7 carry-over year??? |
Don't they usually unveil concept images first?
I'm guessing the new Z will be here in 2015 or early 2016. |
i thought the other tread mentioned 2016 for the completely new Z? :confused:
i think they will sell the new bumpers for at least 2 more model years. :) |
