I had read something about 320-325hp so 337hp is great news.

Thats not confirmed, I would guess the 320-325 is right. The G's have true dual exhaust, so even the G35 sedan with the same motor (although not rated higher) makes a bit more power than in the Z.

I wanted to also point out, a DI system would require a new head to be designed around the injector, I doubt Nissan would make the substantial cost of recreating the head on their VVEL engine this soon.
