Most of the technology shared moves one way, from Nissan to Renault. AFAIK, the VQ series of engines are purely Nissan. Most of the technology shared moves one way, from Nissan to Renault.

However Nissan added their own cranks, conrod pistons and Head design.

What company do you think developed the 3.0-litre V6 engine found in the front of a Nissan 350Z?" So it looks like the engine really came from Renault.

The suspension is so soft that the only other competition is a marshmellow. It jumps around like a Jack Russell terrier and is quite possibly the most boring car I have ever seen. That said the Soarer in my book does not even qualify as a RM500K car. Its also pretty obvious that you are a diehard Toyota fan. If I were you I would get a proper Lexus like the IS350 Bob

Apart from the minute exterior facelift, it is nice to see that Nissan has not forgotten the engine. The car i’m looking forward to next year is Nissan’s “rumoured” 4.5 liter engine which would most likely be a upped version of the 350Z called the 450Z. Fingers crossed! ________________________________________________________ Fingers crossed!??!?!?! You actually thought of buying it? OMFG! I'd rather go Toyota Soarer/ Lexus SC430 rather than buying this 350Z. It doesnt look expensive, not to say it doesn't look like a RM500k car. it looked more or less RM300k to me. cbljkkj said,

Rounding up in the "10 Best Engines of The Year" since year 1995. In my opinion, the current 350Z (I'd rather its called Fairlady) is one of the most soul-less Japanese sports car. Its design doesn't echoe abit of Nissan heritage. The interior looked bland, or a pimped 80's interior. This is one of the worst designed cars from Nissan. But its a successful one, WHY? Designed by Americans, for the American market. Silvia S15, Skyline GTR 34..... where are you guys? Anyway, better than taking Renault designs..... hohoho VQ engines existed for more than a decade.
