Multiple Engine for Next Z? from Nissan VP

carlitos_370z

hahahaha!!! i said a Vette with 4 seats you make me search on the Chevrolet webpage to confirm that info hahahah!!


Just my 2 cents...
Why not just make a damn version of our VQ37 but 3.0 TT.... they can use the same GT-R TT setup... we know that our engines are strongest enough to hold 500hp on FI setup with out forged internals... im not saying that the Z have to come with 500hp but at least 350hp i think it would be great.... I know is the same HP that the 370z Nismo have but hey... is a 3.0 FI... you put some intakes, exhaust, few psi more and a tune... trust me you are going to have some good numbers on your dyno sheet.... My opinion is that Nissan do not have to use and MB engine on the new Z... they have a lot of good engines like the SR20, RB25, RB26... for say some engines that they make... Anyway we are going to wait to see finally what Nissan are going to do with Z platform...

^ there are no cai's on a FI motor. But I get what your saying.

I agree with you but those engines you listed are too old for Nissan to use. With the current emission laws and they are getting even more strict, those motors could never hope to pass. I would really hope for a turbo 3.0. A lot could be done with that provided Nissan doesn't make it out of glass. Its crazy that Nissan is legendary for their turbocharged engines of old, however here we are 20 years later BEGGING them for a new one, and they can't oblige.

Its not THAT big of a deal for me because the odds of me getting the new Z are really slim. Im recently married and 26. Its time for kids and **** I would have to do an astronomical amount of kissing to my wife for her to not immediately say "no" when I even say "Z" lol.

The engines that i mention in my post are examples i forget to say that hahah i know are olds but those engines are proof that Nissan can make a new great engine to the new Z platform

BTW bro im in the same boat.... almost married and i think that are going to happen in the new year 2015 i have to finish my Z asap hahahhahaa!!!

Soo i dont think that a new Z for me its an option hahaa!!! i have to stay with my Z34 for now

Jordo!

I think its odd that some of the renderings are based on the Maxima concept... I don't think the Z will have that terrible grill...

My guess is, very similar lines to current and a front fascia more similar to the latest Nismo. They are unlikely to deviate from the classic sports car coupe profile.

I'm expecting maybe 40-50 kg lighter (thanks mainly to even more aluminium), a turbo 4 option that makes much more torque and slightly less top end (resulting in a Z that is marginally quicker than current) with a N/A V6 option that is probably a re-tooled VQ, making 350+ bhp and at least as much torque as the four banger, for even better performance.

They could offer Nismo options for each that includes better aero/suspension, the snazzy badges, and slightly tweaked power -- just like they do now.

All of that is do-able with stuff from the Nissan parts bin, and it is in keeping with the rumors that are most frequently cited (and also least absurd).

If they are serious about the two engine options, then it will come down to price, which is easier to mod (in theory, the turboed motor, but who knows...), etc.

If they do the T4 vs. V6 option it is worth noting that this recipe didn't work so well for the Gen coupe...

Isn't the Tokyo Auto show in January? They better get the concept ready...

They already made up their minds by now. Like G37 preceded the the 370, so goes the Q50. V6 hybrid. Watch.

How dare anyone doubt the Eternal Wisdom of Nissan.™

The IDx died for the Z35 sins! Repent nonbelievers!

Give me 50 Hail Katayama and buy official NISMO products!




Totally agree with you on this. Whatever styling and engine it will be, is already done. I'm sure the prototype and showroom display are hidden in some factory bunker, waiting to be unveiled. Nissan is just building hype.

Now it's just the slow wait...

hmm and then people tell you to get married. Hah! yea right

Well it has its benefits. You have a permanent slam piece. So depending on your wife, you could be guaranteed sex at almost any time. If you have the right wife, she will also get you awesome car parts for Christmas!! Mine is slightly upset with the car right now because I turbocharged it this year, then spent some money of fuel upgrades later and retuned. So I have spent more money than I would like to admit on it this year lol. And I may be dropping some more on it unexpectedly

She has a Genesis Coupe, so I MIGHT be able to convince her to buy one if she likes it enough lol.
