Hands Up all the Aussies

[jezzza]

Save the drama for your Llamas and get excited peeps, only a few sleeps to go.

While very exciting, that might be a tad too optimistic. ?‍

A few scattered Proto’s delivered. Dealers getting demos

I won't lie, it's very concerning that we havn't received these promised allocation phone calls yet. They were due 4 or 5 weeks ago.

Hmmmm, I’m all about the drama ?
As I said refused to be excited, it only ever ends in disappointment over the last year and a half. My version of the 1st in my head goes…
Another 20 reviews, on everything that we already know about.
A few scattered Proto’s delivered.
Dealers getting demos?
Me waiting another 6-8 months for my car to arrive?

If I think this way I won’t be disappointed, and if good things happen, it will be a nice surprise

Yeah I'm kinda sick of youtubers crapping on about the same shit we've known for a year

For those that don't know, that R400 is 1 of 44 produced and likely one of the most valuable Japanese cars in the country. Last one sold in the UK for over 3 million.

vspec have 2 of them currently.

ztune 1 if 18 was in Adelaide for ages now in syd. That one is prob most expensive jap car in au.

The one seen is Melb is prob replica that was doing the rounds.

The roof line is as high as the bonnet of the Patrol behind it lol. Unreal.

One solitary little white Z in a sea of SUVs ??.
Could you see any more? It seems odd that there would only be single car.
For a manufacturer in financial trouble they don’t seem to know how to do things to save them money…as in shipping a few hundred together ?

Jokes aside…it would have been your first sighting in the flesh…how did it feel to you?

@West Aussie there was a sea of Nissans but only the one Z that we could see. This and the two other white ones spotted on the truck yesterday makes three in Brisbane.

I'll be honest, I shrieked when I spotted it. Couldn't believe my eyes lol. Deafened everyone in the car.

Port security moved us on pretty quickly ? @jezzza @Mud

My impressions, bearing in mind we could only see the tail and the nose- the roofline is lower than I expected, which is awesome. It's got a short bum. It looks great in white!

It’s good to hear that first impressions were good …that’s important.
Now the big question…where are the rest and when do we get them? Because this wait is making me go nuts
Especially as some now think Nissan will not follow the orders in order ?

And from one short arse to another…im also glad it’s close to the ground??

Great spotting and so well timed, it's already out of sight! ?

Oh no Jezz! Really?!

[West Aussie]

I’d be surprised if any of the as reviews tell us anything we don’t already know ?

EDIT…I am surprised to see the 240 number of Protos thrown around given the US and Japanese market are getting 240 each and thier population size.
Also find in interesting they won’t release the number, given all proto orders have been contacted already, are they trying to hide how many they have until buyers hav3 already handed money over?

800 coupes…that’s less than one per dealer in the US, surely they can fill at least 400 of those straight up.

 

[Ballast Scorcher]

Sure of it.

Anyone that hasn't lined up by now, won't be getting the damn thing anytime soon anyhow
