I would guess a price bump of anywhere between $500 and $1.5k

But just a guess...

Yes, the '07 will have the new HR engine and will be released sometime in January. Too tired to look for the article now but there was an article written up form NISSAN announcing the new engine in the '07 Z.

Also, it is my understanding that Nissans new HR engine will also be the same engine in the GT-R coming out in 2008. The GT-R is a twin-turbo V6 so, theoretically the engine will be designed to support the twin-turbo boost. That is the reason that a previous post stated that the new HR will be easy to twin-turbo and not have to worry about blowing up the engine (unless you go crazy with the psi.)

Here's a sticky on it. This was posted on nissannews.com

I've heard this rumor that it’s the same as the GTR. Do you have a link or announcement from Nissan stating this?

You, sir, are a dumbass.

The HR was designed to be twin turbo from day 1. This is the engine that's going to be in the GT-R. Why do you think Nissan went with twin TB's and MAF sensors.. 'cause they were bored? Look at the RB26DETT... dual MAF's. If they were just looking for more air, they could've saved themselves a bunch of work by simply increasing the size of the single TB. They went with a dual setup to make packaging the TT easier. If it's easier for Nissan, it'll be easier for the aftermarket. Hence my statement that twin turboing the HR will be easy. I'm guessing the only difference between the GT-R and 350Z motors will be the compression ratio, cams, twin turbos and tuning.

I'm anything but ignorant. I've been building cars in my garage for 18 years and am half owner of HyundaiPerformance.com.

No don't say that, something new is always coming out. Isn't there supposed to do a whole Z makeover in 08? So if you bought an 07 you would wish you waited for the 08. If you thought like that, you would never buy a car waiting for the newer "better" model. However, this might be changing my FI plans for my current Z.

Test drive it, see if you like it.
If you like it, then yes, it is worth it.
