Message	Some of these are what Nissan also was thinking reasonably about. 1. Less weight, realistically, trim about 400 lbs. 2. The V8 from the Infinity Q45 or, the later VQ motors from the Maximas. 3. Slightly shorter front and rear overhangs & an increase in wheel base by around 2 inches. 4. More durable interior & exterior trim. 5. Floor mounted pedals. 6. Fancier instrument cluster lighting. 7. Aluminum subframes and suspension pieces. 8. Aluminum hatch. 9. More structural bracing for stiffer chassis. 10. Of course, even more engine durability. 11. Forged pistons. 12. 17" rims. 13. Jspec tails. 14. Better (but not neccisarily bigger) brakes. 15. A special lightweight version of the Z32. 16. (Reasonably for Nissan) At least 260 hp base for the NA & 340 hp for the TT. 17. 3.5L of displacement (if V6).
