Just like I don't consider Nissan changing the steering lock as an "upgrade" because a steering lock that works is making the car better.

i dont think the Z34 shares its platform with any other car in the nissan line up.
that alone is commitment by nissan to give the Z34 special treatment.

also, i dont have this over heating problem you mentioned. mine is a 09 with no aftermarket oil cooler. never even considered getting one.

actually if i'm not mistaken, the Z34 shares it's chassis with the G37, maybe someone else with a little more knowledge can shed some light on the subject though

It does. It's virtually the same car. It's a Z 2+2 with a better interior and some sound deadening.

It is not always the case that newer is better. Better can be rather subjective as well

Again I would say better interior is subjective. I prefer the 370z instrument panel much better

YMMV.

I feel (means as much as anything other comments on the subject) Nissan will not have anything to show for on this platform until next year at the earliest.
But then again I think we are all just talking out of our

So continue to wait we will
