Sorry, didn't mean to step on them. Just be glad I didn't gumband them and split your sack with a old dull knife.

Just kiddin'.

Yea the new one is suppose to have a little classic look to it, not as wide as the z34, longer engine bay

Reasons why the next z will not lose the 6 cylinder altogether....The market. It wouldn't be so much "going with the times" as poor marketing strategy. Its not a sign of the times that toyota/subaru put out a 4 cylinder sports car, theres always been a market for 4 cylinder sports and the Z has never been aimed at that market, they had the 240 for that crowd. The Z has ALWAYS been aimed at the camaro/mustang and most recently the 370z was a cheaper alternative to the track king, the Cayman (read back to 2008 articles). The GTR was designed to beat the 911 turbo at a much cheaper price tag as well. If you ask me Ghosn is aligning more to true sports vehicles and less to what the general japanese market is doing. If recent rivals remain the target for the next gen z car I put it on a slightly lighter weight frame retaining the powerful v6 keeping it inline with the cayman. c'mon ppl give nissan and more specifically they're proven CEO a little more credit than introducing 2 new 4 cylinder models. I would be VERY surprised if there's a 4 cylinder option.

Well we might have a good idea what we'll be looking at with what they have been doing with the DIG MR16DDT DeltaWing motor, and this new DIG HR15DDT Zeod DeltaWing motor development. They have releases the specs on the Zeod HR motor, it weighs in at only 88lb, and is putting doing 400hp, and (380Nm) 280ft.lbs. of torgue out of a 1.5L three cylinder, and of course completely custom for racing.
If it is a four cylinder my guess would be you'll probably be looking at a variant of the MR20DDT.

It would be a great next step for Nissan offering speeds that high, but I'm a v6 Nissan guy lol

Nissan Reveals ZEOD RC

Oops my bad it's 380Nm not ft.lbs. So 280.27 ft.lbs. Thanks

I'm a purest and believe only a 6 cylinder belongs in a Z myself (or a v8 like Chris Forsbergs FD car running the VK56). I'm thinking it's a possibility Nissan still might have a 6 cylinder, and option a turbo 4 cylinder like they are going to do with the Ford Mustang in 2015. I haven't been on any of the Mustang forums, but I'm sure those people are really up in arms, but at least they did have a turbo 4 cylinder in their history with the SVO Fox body back in the 80's.
A sporty 4 cylinder turbo Nissan should be a Siliva in my opinion, and the new 510 (IDx) is pretty cool too.

zmanelite · 01-30-2014, 08:55 AM

Aghhhhh 4 banger turbo
I bet the car will be smaller prolly BRZ territory

Eclipz · 01-30-2014, 01:18 PM

Nissan should leave the turbo 4 for the IDx, and give the Z a downsized v6 with some sort of FI.

fuct · 01-30-2014, 02:01 PM

how about 2 Zeod HR motors stuffed into a Z?!?!?!

NismoNox · 01-30-2014, 06:12 PM

They should do something like the 300ZX, and Offer a Twin Turbo sub model

jcasti07 · 02-07-2014, 11:47 AM

Yea it would be nice to have a turbo V6 but Nissan won't want GTR sales to suffer
