Oh of course, nothing to do with the entrants, perhaps lots of new Nissan products are what's attractive with this suggestion?

One move tough that seems to have been made fairly recently is to accept the potential for factory engines in the class, a move that may well have been reinforced by the offer, DSC believes, of introducing the Cosworth designed Nissan twin turbo V6 that featured in the now cancelled GT-R LM, not just as an optional engine choice but as a ‘Spec’ engine for Privateer LMP1. That prospect has now disappeared though the Nissan V6 remains an interesting potential option.
