If Mazda can make a bulletproof DI-Turbo platform and sell it (MS3), then Nissan sure as hell can.

Nissan doesn't, but Mercedes does. It's currently found in the A45 AMG. ~350hp and 35mpg from a 345lb engine? Yes please.

Due to the cost of this engine compared to the VQ, I doubt Nissan will employ it, but the option does exist. Mercedes and Nissan confirmed that Merc 4 and 6 cyl engines will be brought over to Infiniti- who knows what they may mean for the Z car.
