I can't stress enough the Z has been an infiniti parts been sports car for over 13 years. It's not that complex of a build considering it's not built on its own proprietary platform like a corvette. It doesn't have a proprietary transmission like the GT-R.
There's no rocket science behind the Z outside of Synchro Rev Match for the manual and maaaaaybe vvel
Yep. The Z is a niche car. It's not a Nissan mainstay, it's nostalgia. The market for it is too limited to ever expect Nissan to show it much love. I suspect it, or some version of it, will be in the lineup for at least awhile, but I can understand why it's been on the market unchanged for 8 years.
