390Z to have a 4Cly Optional?

UNKNOWN_370 · 10-28-2013, 09:36 AM

If the Z gets multiple engines? I'm sure there will be no number designation. It will probably just be called "The Z Coupe".

It's very possible that Nissan USA and Europe may just start calling it the Fairlady as it is dubbed in Japan. I hear more and more people calling it that here anyway.

i vote for turbo v6.

if not ill just stuff a nissan V8 in there and call it a day. lol

fairlady_z34 · 10-28-2013, 10:36 AM

dont care if its a 4cyl or 6 as long as its turbocharged and faster than the current stock 370z

im not sure about faster. the car's supposedly going to handle better and be more eco-friendly.

Yeah, I think Nissan is going for handlling while maintaining the current performance... That's fine to me as long they give us an engine that's cheap and easy to mod... Ie FI.

What do you guys think about the 4 cyl turbo option on a "390Z"

I would never buy a Z with a 4 banger. Just not what i think a Z is.

Might be a good idea for a turbo 4 cyl. if the Z lost 500-600lbs.

Agreed - If they did this to make something closer to the FRS/BRZ. 4 banger, light, nimble, and cheaper.

Now if they did that I would also expect them to offer a turbo 6 as an option. There is enough of a gap between the Z and the GTR that there could be another model/upgrade. but that is just the car enthusiast in me being wishful.

They will probably invest more time into a Nismo version of the Leaf.

nissan already has plans to release a concept of a frs/brz competitor which is suppose to be a class under the Z next month. so i was hoping it would be a silvia and 4 seats?

maybe they will reuse the Altima coupe plateform but define it more obviously between it and the Z...

hopefully they will...

If Nissan decides to go from a V6 to a 4 banger, I dont know if I'd buy another one. I rather just make the C7 my next car...

kenchan · 10-28-2013, 12:47 PM
