Though we know C&D is fairly unreliable... They are saying the 370z engine will be replaced as well. So will we see this engine in our current bodies? Will they rename our cars the 300z before we see a new body style? Or will we just be called the Z? Or will we be seeing the new Z sooner than later?

My bad... I musta been looking at 4 banger cut outs n assumed it was the v6 I guess. I keep up with a **** load of cars, if you don't notice who has the most threads up here with the most models covered. My contribution to sports car news is huge... So pardon me for making a mistake. :shakes head:

It sounds awesome and would look nice plaqued out on the back of the car... I'm excited!!! FINALLY!

I hope design language is very 240esque.

Where does this new VR30 Redline? Anyone?

They may use the 300hp and 400hp for the Infinity, and do a 380ish hp version in the Z and the Nismo would get the 400hp. I'm sure they can easily tune out 20 hp for the regular Z engine, just to give the Nismo an advantage in power still.

Pardoned ;)
I keep up with quite a few as well and do see you bouncing around a lot of threads. I have a bit of pride knowing that this nice new engine is Nissan through and through.

They should just give the people what they want and rename it to Fairlady Z.

im not sure i want dat name in the US.

fairlady sounds good in japanese pronunciation as it sounds special like 'ferrari' but fair lady? really?
mr.k was right on dumping dat name for the us market.

i mean always a hope. i'm just thinking of the GT-R and i think it's power maxs out at 6500? or so.

also the wiki page (probably wrong) has it approx. at 405 PS (298 kW) at 6,400 rpm (High Output) and 475 N·m (350 lbf·ft) from 1,600–5,200 rpm (High output).

Max power was at 6300 so unless the stock turbos are a limiting factor I would expect power to peak close to redline. I say 6,500, 7,000 max.
