It is a great engine but honestly its time for a refresh... I have been a VQ guy for over 11 years with 2 350z's and my 370z. I cant say its the most exhilirating engine i have ever experienced..
I found the EVO 8 4 cylinder was more fun out of the box... My 370z engine seems a little more enjoyable then my VQ35 in my 04 350z but it still needs boost or something like the Celica GT-S engine had with lifters for the cams that gave it a nice pop at 6k rpms... My request to Nissan is a 325hp+ 4 cylinder turbo with a curb weight of 2800 pounds. The engine should be able to obtain 28-30mpg or higher on highway with direct injection etc. My wifes 275hp Sonata turbo gets 35mpg and is a blast to drive. Everyone is begging for the BRZ and FRS to offer a boosted model.... Its Nissans chance to slap a 4 cyl turbo in the Z and steal that market niche.
