Hands Up all the Aussies

[morgand]

Picked the Proto up this morning. They didn't have any extras available. Even if I wanted to purchase them. They said they're all on back order including floor mats.

The weather was absolutely disastrous so it was a very slow and safe drive home on the slippery new tires.

At home with its filthy sibling:

That really shows how low they are. I wonder what the roof height is in comparison to the BRZ.

1315mm vs 1310mm for the Subaru so pretty much the same.

Going to have to take up Pilates or Yoga to ensure trouble free ownership.

this is why I ahve a test drive condition on my order, 6"2 and not skinny makes for bad fit in some cars.

I recently test drove the BRZ... another story, but under powered; and it wasn't comfortable getting out of it. Interior is much lower than the Z! The Z is more comfy and I'm at 6"2, the seats are hugging too which was comfortable.

News tomorrow on a Z order from me!

that took way longer than I am comfortable admitting to identify.
what's it going in?

We just pulled it out.
Got another motor to rebuild and go in. Replace rear subframe and diff. Some bodywork and she'll be good to go.

Do you get a Z logo cargo mat or was that an extra

Looks like it had a front hit? What is it actually?

A rear hit. Which may have pushed it into a towball.
An RX8.

2022 Nissan Z new car review

Can’t tell you how angry this makes me ?????????????????

How?

Nope, must be an extra.

They just have no idea about being pro-active as far as customer service goes, see email I sent them through their facebook page. Limbs is my facebook alias


Why does it seem that nobody at Nissan HQ in Melbourne seems to care about the lack of communication that customers are being given regarding Z pre-orders. The dealers have no information and Nissan customer service knows nothing and refers you back to the dealer, so customers just end up going around in a loop with no information. Other car manufacturers are also having delays but they seem to be pro-active with their customers advising of delays through email and company websites. Get on top of this Nissan as you are quickly loosing your customer base.

Yep, they're all seeming to be pretty shit.

I called near on midday and the sales manager was with a customer and would call me back. That in itself pissed me off since I'm damn sure I've been a "customer" a fraction bloody longer given this saga.

But yeah, rest of the day proceeded with nothing but radio silence so I've sent a nice email. These fuckers are lucky I'm bloody several hundred kilometres away otherwise I'd be giving them the hard word @West Aussie style ?

I didn't really notice it being super low when I picked it up but going from the Tiguan to the Z makes you feel it. The poor FiST has now been relegated to outside.
