Nissan can make a philosophical competitor for the Fr-S in a silvia type vehicle. I think it's time for nissan to make a $27k RWD lightweight 2800lb 270hp turbo 2+2 coupe so i can daily it anyway.

Nissan Z can be a 370hp 3100lb car.

VERY TRUE! I do think 370hp is a little high! That or dramatically increase its price but they would definitely be shooting themselves in the foot ....Theyd roughly be in the '13 cayman $$ bracket !
But yea, ideally the silvia should be their entry (FR-S competitor), Z being mid range (competing with say the low end porches), then the GOD being their top tier exotic killer!
