Look at the twin sisters...BRZ/FRS....they cost almost the same as the base Z with 142 hp less. The truth sucks sometimes. We all like to dream.
Making a car and developing a production platform isn't the same as your regular mod where you can just cut an old platform shorter and build on it. Lol. It takes thousands of hours and millions of dollars to make it safe and reliable so it can be mass produce.

You do now they have partnerships with others and can easily (and fairly cost effective) license another platform without spending the R&D money, and the current platform is fairly old already so I would not be surprised if Nissan has been looking at something new or developing it already. Plus the Z platform is shared already with many other cars to help reduce long terms cost, this is one reason the IDx failed to be produced was because it was a brand new platform which at the time was not going to be shared with any other of Nissan's lineup.
