There is only a mild Ni coming through. When hearing Nissan spoken by American car reviewers I tend to hear them over emphasize the Ni almost like they are reading it out as Ni-san with a period for emphasis after the Ni. Kinda splitting hairs at this point. I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong. Just my interpretation of hearing it said by people from different countries.

Remember that while "catalog specs" of the car is 200hp and actual of current car being around 170+/-... Well, I can guarantee that this one has been revamped to address this discrepancy, which is rather extensive in internal changes. Also on the list of changes are the durability related, so that the engine actually lives longer under severe abuse. So if the hp gains are 15-20, that would still be under catalog specs, but significantly more than what it may seem on brochures right? ** Hint hint...

It's not mostly about small things like that, as this is a sports car, not a Camry. The torque dip in the Zenki for all intensive purpose was to give the car great fuel efficiency by running it lean on purpose in that range, where it is often used for cruising and in-town driving... But well under the rpm zone where experienced driver would use on any section of a raceway. But perhaps, with the new exhaust manifold, that's been refined better too... (oops, did I just say something?) You didn't see this... And I was never here.

But I guess there are things which took precedence over and beyond this little detail that was part of the refining process. That, and with the 86 being sold in really wide number of regions which all have increasing regulations on how the speedometers must be, and some of these markets having not enough volume to justify for Toyota to invent a new cluster for each, due to lower volume than Corollas... Current cluster layout perhaps was something approved in all those regions, and too expensive to re-certify. There's always something. Its part of the modern world we live in. It's my hypothesis... So don't quote this as fact, but I think something like that would do a lot of explaining, knowing variables that haunt designers today.
