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.
Well - we had that story about 4 different engines going on IMSA's dyno and I think Nissan has been mentioned in conjunction with that, though not from any official sources.
