Nice !!

Now All We Need To Wait On Is The Heat Exchanger . . .

Gees, the fit and finish under that is pretty ordinary. Hoping the production models are better. That square section tubing is also going to be a rust trap...

What area are you referring to specifically? Aside from the NVH panels, everything seems pretty open, which is actually a good thing when it comes to rust prevention (allows everything to dry out). With that said, I would have liked to have seen more heat shielding.

The single good thing about employing a revised Z34 chassis is that we have the benefit of almost two decades of other peoples' experiences with the 350 and 370 lol. I've never heard of a 350 or 370 having any rust issues.

Yup. For sure you would. New turbos are $$$$$$$ and the labor to install is almost as bad.

Funny you say that - c/o the Z Car Blog that went up Friday - https://www.zcarblog.com/2022/06/24/240z/spending-time-with-the-new-2023-nissan-z.html

Looks like plenty of room for the AWD transfer case.....

Seems Nissan didn't even bother to reduce the tunnel size where the Infiniti transfer case goes....

Yup, drivetrain drop.
According to Infiniti techs, the only way to get to the turbos is to drop the engine. And it's much easier to leave the drivetrain attached, especially on AWD cars. I'm not sure what's the best approach with RWD versions, drop just the engine or the engine and transmission, most VR30 Qs here are AWD.

After watching the video from four bros, looks like the heat exhanger is placed in a different sport then the Infiniti’s. Looks not as easy to install them?

Heat exchanger is in the same location. The dude acknowledged he wasn't familiar with the cooling system before he made those comments in the video.
