When nissan decided to make the 350z the company was in trouble financially and need to keep costs down... In order to do this they built a engine they could use across the various model line ups.
The engine is used in the Maxima, Altima, 350z, G35, FX35, M35 not sure if they use it in there trucks also..
From a bussiness standpoint it was a smart move, even tho the hardcore enthusaists will be disappointed.

But the STi has nowhere near the steering response of a Z. Main reason I left the Subaru crowd in the first place...

the manufatcurer is only insterested in profit. Honestly in my opinion there is no sense for Nissan to put money into a winning concept. The previous generations of Z's were considered a failure. Take for example the Z32 tt, the car was just misunderstood. People were not ready to spend porsche money on a Nissan. Although it's probably one of the best cars and motors ever to come out of japan (stricly opinion I own one). Anyway the bean counters a Nissan are finally happy the compnay has turned around. There is no way they wil spend the countless dollars on research, training all the technicians, and on marketing. Besides a the few on this board the average person who buys a Z probably doesnt even know what an STI, or SRT 4 even is. Not to mention what the hell a turbo is and why they want one. Nissan is taking a risk with the GTR cause of the enourmous success of the Z. It will stay the same till they dont sell anymore. There is a reason why the 3000gt tt, the 300zxtt, the supra tt, arent being produced anymore. People saw that they could buy and Na 300zx for 8K less and say to themselves, "well they both look the same and the payment is cheaper on the NA thats what I want". Most people dont really care, and thats who car makers sell cars to people who dont really care.
