I think a turbo 6 is a realistic possibility. With popularity of turbo motors finally picking up in North America (largely due to the US OEMs utilizing turbo motors), it might finally make sense for Nissan to offer a turbo 6 as an option again. They'd have to do it in a way as to not encroach on GT-R territory though, so it'd probably be drastically detuned if they ever did come out with a turbo 6.

I highly doubt they'll ever go to a 4 cylinder motor though, as it's just not in the Z's heritage and would probably upset a lot of purists.
