I really like the wheels on that "spy shot".

Maybe with Nissan's Leaf and other vehicles to come, they can keep churning out GTRs and Zs with 6cyl engines?

I dont know if it was mentioned yet but the IPL Infiniti G37s come with 348hp... that will prob be the only motor upgrade to the 370 along with there periodic color changes ... not even sure if they have DI on the IPL G37, but thats prob it for upgrades to the 370z's motor...

I've worked on BMW's before. Their electronics are scary and I'm pretty sure they did something to have their engines passed.

Joking. I like my shifter

No torque conveter would get us more modability in the forced induction arena.

Nothing....for 2012 tsunami recovery.

Maybe a "true" NISMO with a performance increase over the base Z

What can we expect?

Just enough to make me wish I'd held out for another year.

my stock nismo ran a 12.98 quarter..... thats as good as most base Z's with bolt ons. but i just think it looks better :P so who cares.

^^Wrong section.... But just an FYI...

Also, a base Z with stock bolts ons usually has more power than your stock Nismo anyways... Besides aesthetics and obvious suspension differences, your Nismo only has 18hp more due to an exhaust and a tune..... Any base Z with exhuast and a tune would have the same power (~approx). Then if this base Z were to add test pipes and intake it would have more power.....

You did a superb job running a 12.98 though.

And what Lemers was pointing out I think was he is hoping to see a reduced Nismo RC edition basically. Better seats over base, stitch welded chassis, maybe some weight reduction and better suspension balance. The 370z Nismo is basically just a body kit with different suspension components, unlike the 350z Nismo which had all of the above (minus the seats).
