Hands Up all the Aussies

[Hammo25]

My order was late Jan 22, dealer tells me that I am now 1st on their list for a blue manual, no real delivery estimates

My order was 9 June 2022 and somehow got very lucky and picked up my car 3 weeks ago.

Ordered end of Dec 2022.

Osb Park Nissan emailed me:

“As per phone conversation, our WA Nissan contact has not received any information for you at this stage.
I will continue to keep you in the loop.”

Ordered December 2019, not even a phone call. (MELB)

That's pretty bad at least my dealer has offer some alternate colors to me, where did you order from

I ordered from Dandenong, pretty disappointed tbh. I'm glad I've also ordered a GR Yaris Rallye

What color and transmission did you go for.
I rang Essendon Nissan a few weeks back regarding a demo and was offered a yellow, black or gray manual, even though i have never dealt with this dealer. My order is with Sydney dealer.

The wait for my new plates is almost (we’ll not really) as bad as the wait for the car. This is the queue at the licensing centre to just get into the ticketed queue inside the centre!

Ahhhh I see, I purchased a white manual. Nice of them to give you offers though.

Dec19=you've gotta be somewhere near the top of the list! It sounds like mine still hasn't left Japan so I'm not expecting it before July.

I do have a question for any Z owners both in this thread from Australia or abroad the have the Auto... can you feel the gears changing... as in does it jerk just a little bit or is it just smooth on the upshift? The downshift? I've just watched a couple in-car video reviews and it just seems smooth and no real push/pull in the camera footage... it is a M-Benz gearbox? If so, which model again? I will do the google.

MB 9-speed auto, I think it's the JATCO trans.

Upshifts are super smooth - butter.
Downshifts at cruising speeds are tad chunkier, but negligible.
Downshifts at lower speeds (gear 3 to 2, 40km to 30/25km) are quite clunky. You both hear it and feel it.

Basically... In lower speeds downshifts, you feel the engine braking.

Gotcha. Thanks! I've read the JATCO is a Benz gearbox but altered by the Japanese.

I've just found some videos Z night time reviews.

The high beams aren't Adaptive? Nothing like Matrix Audi or the equiv and amazingly awesome Mercedes-Benz system I have now.

The kingdom of Western Australia. I ordered and paid online but you have to take old plates in to swap for new plates once they’re made.

Not sure exactly what "adaptive headlights" mean, the fixture and bulbs are fixed from that perspective.
When you go into a tunnel or it's nighttime - it'll auto-set (assuming the switch is set to auto) the headlights / Taillights.
