Call it open for business.

Back in the glory days of affordable Japanese sports cars, such as the Toyota Supra, the Mazda RX-7 and the Nissan 300ZX, turbocharging was the norm for achieving high horsepower figures while keeping prices low - and while Toyota and Mazda may not be considering bringing back turbocharged sports cars for the time being, Nissan is toying with the idea of bringing back the infamous turbo Z car. While the mighty Nissan 300ZX was given not just one, but twin-turbos, the much more recent 350Z and 370Z models have had to make do with natural aspiration in Nissan's VQ line of engines to provide...
