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.
Well, with Nissan bumping the GT-R power lately and more improvements to come I think there is plenty of room for a turbo V6 motor. They can easily put it at 350-400HP from factory and keep it under the GT-R.

If Nissan can keep the car light and nimble, it will keep its separation from the GT-R and become more competitive against cars in its bracket.
