That wouldn't be a bad combo, but I doubt it.
"Detuning" a turbocharged car really doesn't work. Because all that is necessary is a "retuning" of it's ECU to bring it back up to "normal" and match the GT-R's output.
Nissan would never allow the 370Z to match it's new upcoming flagship and legendary iconic "super" car.
What Nissan needs is an entry level V6.
Say a 3.0 liter with about 225 hp.
Then they could make a "base" 300Z that sells for $25-26K
They could also drop that engine into the base Altima and keep the 2.5 liter for the Sentra.
