I'm not referring to announcements. I'm referring to behind-the-scenes knowledge. Since day one it was fully known that GM and Mazda were seriously looking to do DPis even as they stayed completely silent on the matter publicly. Early on there were rumors of Nissan, but those were just one of the numerous rumors saying nearly every GT3 manufacturer supposedly being interested at some point - and like all the others it faded away once it became clear that no serious efforts were being undertaken.

The fact that nobody behind the scenes even heard anything about renewed interest from Nissan is what indicates to me they're not getting involved on a factory level - not the lack of a public show of it.
