Z35 motor theory

Magic Bus · 07-22-2014, 03:01 PM

I hope not.

GTR 3.8 non turboed motor? That would be sweet. But I thought they said they were definitely looking at doing a boosted 4 banger due to wanting to be greener? I'd read a statement a whole back from the head honcho I thought verifying that?

Zdayz 2014!!

No flippin way they're putting a 4 banger on the Z35. My guess is V6 turbo or a larger displacement than the current

DjSquall · 07-22-2014, 08:20 PM

If they turbo V6 the Z, they'll kill the GTR. It's either going to be a turbo 4 (massive fail) or another NA v6.

My 2c

the current 3.0 6 cylinder turbo is rated at 329 horsepower. I don't see how it will cut into a 600 horsepower GTR

No turbos please! A higher revving, lighter weight with a more balanced power band engine mated to a 2800 lb car will wipe the floor with anything in its targeted class while meeting tighter EPA regulations. Throw in a KERS type boost system good for a 1/4 mile run and you have something worthy of the Z name.

^ Exactly and someone stated earlier the gtr is getting a rather decent power boost so there is plenty of room for even something as crazy as a 500 hp Z.

A weight reduction will be key to obtaining better performance and economy. Just hope nissan doesnt do what ford did to the mustang and add weight

Agreed, Z 's have become far too heavy.

NoLaKrewe · 07-22-2014, 11:23 PM

Personally, I would like to see the Z lose about 400-600 pounds. If it did that I would be fine with engine numbers.

mab864 · 07-22-2014, 11:28 PM

We need a direct injected, higher compression NA 3.8L V-6 out of the GTR that's not hand built. 400 hp & 300 tq and the car needs to weigh 3K. 25 mpg combined due to the direct injection. Yeah... better stock exhaust note. Oh yeah, and I want those red Recaros out of the '15 Nismo. That would be $$$.

That don't sound to bad. I wonder how much more the new Z will cost.

The same, maybe a little less. Gotta compete with the Mustang and Camaro. I love the Z, but a Mustang GT is a great value and can be built to handle.

I did say that I love the Z, did I not? Why would I trade my car if I love it? Am I not allowed to recognize that there are other vehicles out there that can be compared to the Z in both specs and price?
