Yeah, I do question the distribution however, given @Ballast Scorcher had to settle for an AutoThat's great for you, with the limited number and date you put your order in.

Yep, it's a load of shit. Fancy offering me a bloody auto back in June but someone else a manual mid-August.Yeah, I do question the distribution however, given @Ballast Scorcher had to settle for an Auto
Thanks dude, that's a solid update!NEWS UPDATE!
Spoke to my dealer again this morning.
- Significantly less Proto auto vs Proto manual (auto was a special order, so those autos will be super rare)
- Both customers at my dealer turned down the Proto. These were then reallocated by Nissan (thus I did not get offered one). They are not getting any.
- Cars are coming on different ships for different states
- Half the Protos for QLD have arrived and are at the Port of Brisbane (I went immediately for a drive to check out the port. I could not see any)
- The rest of the Protos for QLD will be on there too
- Proto customers will already have a screenshot showing build, VIN and various details from the Nissan system
I can only imagine people that ordered auto weren’t happy with the price so turned them down to us? Either way I’ll take any silver lining I can get.Thanks dude, that's a solid update!
Good to hear vehicles have landed. I know there was a lot of speculation about this, but it's good to have it reinforced.
Special order for the auto, i question how it came to be that myself and @Fontana ended up with them. Surely this tid-bit won't hurt a possible resale. I certainly don't have a vin yet either. Hopefully that's coming in the very near future though.
Shame you missed out in the Proto @Mud, what variant of Coupe are you going with?

I think that the coupe situation may be similar, even though people know the price now, when push comes to shove and they have to say yes or know a certain percentage will cancel ordersI can only imagine people that ordered auto weren’t happy with the price so turned them down to us? Either way I’ll take any silver lining I can get.
My guess is these autos were more casual orders by less enthusiast type people, thus the cancellationsSpecial order for the auto, i question how it came to be that myself and @Fontana ended up with them.

Yeah kinda kicking myself I didn't go with one to start with. I thought 2 red Zeds would be cool.Shame you missed out in the Proto @Mud, what variant of Coupe are you going with?
I'd get on to your dealer.I certainly don't have a vin yet either. Hopefully that's coming in the very near future though.
Fantastic update, thanks!Their demo is coming on the "Amethyst Ace" due 02/09/22
I had the middle switch on my 370z to control front parking sensors I had installed as my version never had the hatch release. Can buy a device in ebay so that Google app will open the garage door.I've already sorted the garage door opener in my 370z. Will prob remove the boot release and add the same in the new Z
Well you are taking it better than me @jezzzaFantastic update, thanks!
This dealership swore black and blue that they wouldn't accept a demonstration vehicle until preorders were fulfilled, I wonder what changed.. I'm praying that our cars are on this next shipment but from what I've heard from someone higher up, it's less than likely.
Sounds like cars can't be sold yet and we're awaiting a grand release date.
Now where are they hiding these Protos? I'll head down for a snoop in a bit.
Can you send us a link to the device?I had the middle switch on my 370z to control front parking sensors I had installed as my version never had the hatch release. Can buy a device in ebay so that Google app will open the garage door.
i will move the switches on the new Z, middle will be hatch release.
Yeah I have mine set to work with Goole Home also. But it can be finicky to use. You have to get your phone out and sometimes your signal is dancing between mobile and home wifi.Can you send us a link to the device?
Also interested in where you got the button from (and installed?) @Mud ?
