i think its the same engine as the new pulsar turbo 1.8 or the Juke but most peeps want 1.8 minimum.

Nissan really needs a clean slate engine much like the L series was in the original 510. They could go NA with 260hp using a revamped, improved good looking engine like the LZ with revised narrow angle head and even using magnesium block technology which is easy these days like BMWs latest inline 6 and definitely efi quads, carbs too hard for pollution these days. Using mass production they really need a sequential box not a cvt. Boost option is a must but a 2.5 litre big bore short stroke engine could easily be very well received even if lower hp per litre than an s2000 donk.
