When a car isn’t designed to be a convertible in the first place, it almost always lacks the structural integrity to pull it off. This is an old platform whose rigidity isn’t even at the top of the class as a slick top coupe. Cut out the roof and it’ll be like spaghetti - requiring so much additional bracing and welds it won’t be a satisfactory end result. While it’d surely look great, the last convertible from this platform - the G37 Coupe - was lauded as a coupe but panned as a limp noodle convertible. Nissan should focus on more profitable Z-related endeavors like the mid-tier trim level, a Nismo model, optional premium lightweight components (suspension parts, carbon fiber hood, etc) to reduce weight, better tires, and ongoing updates rather than dump a lot into a project doomed from the start.
