Those cars did not sell that well due to the outrageous pricing for the time mainly, so the car took a hiatus for 7 years to give Nissan plenty of time to think of a new strategy to come up with a highly successful Z33 a better price point. The Z34 is not successful do to low sales, different economy and pretty much minor updates over it's production run that has made it stale in may peoples eyes, every other car has been updated and has much more technology on board. I can see another hiatus coming or it being dropped totally unfortunately, even though it's intended as a low production product it has not met it's predicted low number of sales.
Nissan didn't have the upcoming next generation modular chassis to be able to make multiple style cars with a Lego style chassis. There's a distinct possibility this will be the new chassis. Being modular means the likelihood of the Z being a global platform is high, keeping costs even lower Also the cost of computers are SEVERELY lower than the 90's. You can't really compare the two eras as the way production is managed is on a level of efficiency that makes the 90's ancient.

Besides, Nissan was pushing a brand new and up and coming brand called infiniti that was competing with two other up and coming brands, Acura & Lexus that was draining there pockets as well.on top of the yen situation....


So many perspectives to look from.

Yesterday, I was reading the new August issue of Automobile magazine and the cover had a picture of z35. Does anyone have that issue that can scan the article?

Cover looks like this:
