2023 Nissan Z Launch Delayed Until Summer 2022

A lot of manufacturers, including Toyota, have switched over to aluminum wiring. And that shit is janky AF. You can't splice or repair it in the usual ways.

Between cheap shit like that and software intensive infotainment systems, I don't think vehicle manufacturers really care if their product is long lasting anymore. They'd rather you buy a new vehicle more frequently. You know, to "be green" or some BS

When did that happen? I know American made Toyota uses Delphi wiring harness and fuse/junction boxes. Are the Denso wiring harness made of aluminum also?

As for the specs of the wiring harness, I'm not sure if he's qualified to make rational argument on electrical system. What's the problem though?

Mechanics have told me they are a pain in the butt to work on- you can break things so easily.

Nissan delays Z car launch on supply chain woes

Nissan delays Z car launch on supply chain woes; brand's Japan output plunges 44% in March.

TOKYO -- The Nissan Z car, a 400-hp, twin-turbo symbol of the struggling Japanese automaker's revival, is the latest product launch to be derailed by global supply chain woes.

The Z was expected to land in the home market in June, but Nissan Motor confirmed April 27 that the Japan-market launch “will be changed to this summer.” The company declined to be more specific.

The Nikkei reported the launch would be pushed to between July and September.

Nissan blamed the delay on the "ongoing semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruptions from the spread of COVID-19."

The U.S. launch was originally planned for this spring. Nissan declined to comment on the launch timing for other markets. The overhauled Z car targets mainly the U.S. and Japanese markets.

Nissan announced separately on April 27 that production in Japan plunged 44 percent in the month of March, compared with a year earlier, as the global supply chain crisis dragged on.

CEO Makoto Uchida unveiled the redesigned Z prototype in September 2020 to much fanfare.

The retro-styled sports coupe is a key nameplate in the company's “Nissan A to Z” product blitz, which aims to rejuvenate an aging lineup with a steady stream of new offerings.

The A stands for the new Ariya electric crossover, and the Z is for the new sports coupe.

The Ariya's arrival has also been thrown off schedule.

Deliveries of the full-electric SUV are starting to trickle out in Japan, but the Ariya won't reach the U.S. until the autumn.

Nissan doubled down on the 2023 Z, making the seventh-generation the most powerful in the line's history, a fire-breathing, twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 speedster that delivers 400 hp.

Both the Ariya and the Z are made at Nissan's Tochigi assembly plant north of Tokyo. The Ariya is made on a line that was completely revamped to manufacture electric vehicles. The Z is made on a separate line that also churns out the GT-R sports cars and sedans for Infiniti.

Also on April 27, Nissan announced Japan-market pricing of the upcoming Z.

The car will start at ¥5,241,500 ($41,100), including consumption tax, and top out at ¥6,966,300 ($54,600) for the top-grade Proto Spec, with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

+1. And if installing a new car stereo, keep an eye on the wire composition. I found some amp power wires were copper coated aluminum. Generally you want to upsize for aluminum vs solid copper. The solid copper wiring is priced at a premium.

Bit off topic….don’t know if the US has verge days? This is where you can dump anything on your verge twice a year and the council will pick it up.

Perfectly good electrical appliances are ripped open by scavengers to get any copper wiring out, that they then resell, apparently they make a fortune from it.
I’ve seen washing machines, tvs etc that all appeared to be in working order, totally destroyed for the wires within them
