Now, back on topic I wish I could get some intel on the next Z but I'll speculate with the best of them. The next gen GTR will have a new engine producing 800hp. That leaves this motor as a left over that could be shoved into the Z35.

I could see a de-tuned version of the GT-R motor offered in a "super nismo" IPL -type package -- it won't be cheap tho'.
I'd say the odds of that happening might be related to what (if anything) Toyota does with their FT-1/theorized to be new Supra car.
If Toyota rolls out a N/A and a turbo version of a new Supra, like days of yore, I could see Nissan doing the same with the Z to compete.
