If I am not mistaken, the commonly called "ZC" motors are built with all forged internals like the Type-R motors. Which allows someone to run a decent amount of boost and/or nitro whitout an expensive rebuild.
Apparently, in Japan, motors have to pass extremely strict emissions after aroun 60000Km and fail them. It is cheaper to replace a motor then a car and that is why there is a very hot maket for ZC motors right now.
I am not 100% sure about this info but there is plenty of websites for more info about this.
