By putting in a 2.0T, that would be taking a lot of steps back. How will the Z owners and buyers think? I wouldn't get one personally. Even a 3.0 TT is not a good idea. Been there, done that with thr 300ZX twin turbo. I would like to see a 3.7 TT from the factory. Going with a 3.8 TT or bigger will go right into GTR category and it might kill the Godzilla's sales if a 3.7 TT or bigger becomes an option for the Z. My 2 cents.

A 3.7 TT and a 3.8 TT would almost be the same thing. I would almost bet everything I have ever loved that Nissan won't be doing that. A 3.0 turbo would be perfect in my opinion. The 300zx was an awesome car. But the vg30dett was also engineered in the late 80's. Take todays technology and engineering in a new turbo 3.0. Look at these 2-2.5 liter four bangers making 300hp. Put some real engineering in a 3.0 turbo and you could have a SOLID platform to build on for car enthusiast, and a good motor to please the average consumer. Make it a single turbo for simplicity and costs.
