glastoveteran Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a quick search and couldn't find it. And I know it's old, but I've only just read it: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoe ... _350z.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moff Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Does this mean even worse fuel consumption, emmissions and an even heavier roadster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySpak Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 350bhp sounds like a healthy increase I thought they'd use the 330bhp VQ37VHR.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 350bhp sounds like a healthy increase I thought they'd use the 330bhp VQ37VHR.... Yep Andy, I would have thought that would be the engine for it, especially considering the G37S coupe has that as well........ just can't see it being 350BHP, but could be wrong.

stanski Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Glad you mentioned this - in a similar vein does anyone make a hardtop for the current -erm softtop model and if so how does it fit to the back? Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey maybe there is a niche market for then? Can I borrow someones Zed for the weekend - so I can make a fibreglass copy of the roof and then make a hardtop doodar from it ? Hmm should have kept the one from my MR2? Just stretch it a bit!

Tere Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm not sure that's the new 350. I think it's a test mule for their new lower end sports coupe. If you look carefully the body was chopped in half and covers a shortened wheelbase chassis (you can see the chop down the doors and across the roofline -- also notice the rear hatch doesn't fit quite right). It has about the right wheel base for this one (2.5L turbo): http://www.nissannews.com/nissan/concep ... ndex.shtml This one is also a possible (the Urge): http://www.nissannews.com/multimedia/co ... ept_01.jpg And another short wheel base possible (the Azeal): http://www.nissannews.com/multimedia/co ... _azeal.jpg Personally, I think the next generation Z will have a normally aspirated version of the GT-R engine -- 3.8L (although it's possible to do it with the turbos, I don't think it's probable). For sure they can get 350 hp out of it, and it's easier to do that than upgrade the VQ beyond the 3.7L version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
