Makes me wish I wasnt poor lol

Will they be announcing the much anticipated oil cooler at the same time. More hp equal hotter oil. Unless, of course, the Nissan engineers went to a different Physics 101 class. :icon23:

Finally!! Finally the Nismo gets a bump in power to go along with the everything else. The Nismo is the complete package this time around and will be more appealing to Z owners and fans. I'm stoked.

Mustangs gain a good 150 pounds or so with a drop top so expect a weight increase of about 100 pounds. Decisions decisions :driving:

:icon18:
ditto that !

I'm guessing the 09 nismo gets direct injection and the coupe gets it in 2010. The roadster probably doesn't get it until 2011? Hopefully the nismo bodykit looks better than the last nismo. Pretty excited to see what it looks like.

So what will we be looking at for the NISMO 370 coupe? 43-44k? :shakes head:

Why would the nismo have direct injection and the coupe not? I doubt they would take the time to design and engineer an engine variant with more hp and better gas mileage only to stick it in a low volume variant.

My guess is that this claimed extra 18hp in the Nismo version will be from a new exhaust/intake.

Possibly. The Nismo 350 was $38k but I'm just glad this is a better Z car and on paper getting a more complete package this time around. (Nismo)

If the 350hp in the Nismo comes by way of direct injection expect a price increase across the board when introduced in all trim levels.

if the Nismo is getting DI, I still wouldn't expect the regular coupe to get it for a few years. they arent going to release a higher performance version just to give all the cars the same performance 8 months later.

ditto...

This isn't the first time I hear someone saying that the 2010 370 will get direct injection and a bump in HP, where are these claims coming from? nissan? or just speculative 3rd parties?

very excited. thank god they gave it more HP unlike the 350z version (that i still love dont get me wrong)

but 350hp is a nice #

Nissan has already stated that they will be utilizing direct injection technology in their future models. I remember reading about it in C&D about a week ago.

However I don't expect them to make that switch so quickly. This current engine will remain for at least 2-3 model years. If anything the DI tech will be a midcycle refresh for the Z.

I'm willing to bet the 350hp will come from breathing mods considering that most aftermarket exhausts/intakes are producing excellent gains as it is.

Good news. I can't wait to see the Convertible 370Z. AS for 350 HP, is it safe to assume Nismo Catback and intake can give us 18 HP? if yes, then that's about it. Nothing out of ordinary IMO. As for Direct injection talk, Yes! Nissan has shown interest in it but NO, we won't be seeing the Z get it in 2-3 years. I'm thinking the new ___Z in around 2015 will get it. It's going to be a new engine so I'm assuming a lot of testing and research will be done.

Yes! Finally... Who hoo! :tup:
