Good news for some, I suppose.
Why would they beef up the internals if they were not going FI? We all know that with present internals, any FI is sketchy on reliability...

Aren't the dents circled in this picture the grooves on the other side?
I don't see these dents in the crappy cell phone pic of this car.
Hmmmm... I dunno... hard to say. We'll see I guess.
Thanks for the picture for comparison, mc350z.

This is a great motor and I really am excited to experience it with 300 or so less pounds and a 6 mt
The drive in the G solidified my intent to replace my aging Z with an 07. The HR is that good for me.

Everyone should go test drive the new 07 G sedan to get a taste! It was a blast looking at the RPM guage and seeing 7,500 yet the engine is offering no vibration or any other sign its up there, AND it still feels like its pulling.
This is the sort of engine I always felt like the Z deserved.

Does anyone know if the 07 350Z in Japan is using the new HR motor?
