I bit the bullet on the Auto Proto. It’s allocated to me but I’m not locked in, still subject to viewing. I found it interesting that my mate who put a deposit down a month earlier for a Proto hasn’t received a call yet. My guy said 170 Proto’s, this particular dealership got 5 allocations.

No judgement from me dude. I had the same choice back in June and went with it.
My dealer said 170 aswell.

Yeah, I thought about it and to be able to get something this exclusive near the end of the combustion engine era, it would be silly not to. If anything I’ll get the nismo in manual, something to look forward to.

Exactly my thinking man. Get it and if you just can't deal with it, sell it on mate. We won't be going backwards on price. And, as you say, pick up a Nismo in the 6spd down the road.
I personally have come around to the notion and can't really picture myself on-selling currently. Options there though.

This is why we need an official update from Nissan as I (when I still had my Proto on order) and quite a few others were told that we would get half as much as the US allocation which would be 120 and yet you guys are being told 170 by your dealers.

I'm hearing you mate. I was told 170 pretty early in the piece, but then more than a few were saying 120 so figured my dealer (and I'm dealing with a sales manager) had it wrong - which I doubted. But yeah, it'd be nice to know official figures. Hopefully with our embargo lifting in a few weeks all will be made clear. Strange it hasn't been cleared up already. I mean I don't give a shit personally, I'd just like to quoting the correct info from the get go.

If it's taking this long to allocate Protos to pre orders, and there are only 120 to 170 of them, then how long is it going to take Nissan to contact several hundred people that have a coupe pre order

I got one at BigW, how annoying the box says Z PROTO but it's white!
Finally! Just found in Woolworths.
could just ahve left it as z Coupe and had black wheels to be correct.

At this rate it may be the only one we get ?

On Protos …I actually think it’s really dodgy to not release the official number, I mean the whole point of the Proto is the exclusivity
As to allocations, surely 98% of its done and it’s only reallocations of one’s turned down being offered. I can not understand why they can not start allocating the coupes, especially as we have been told we can’t jump ship to a Proto …just get on with it already
