Hands Up all the Aussies

[nuthed01]

Excellent news for me; dealer called today and told me mine is clear at the wharf and will be on it's way to them during the week. I may be able to take delivery as early as this time next week, hopefully.

Confirmed, i'll likely be able to pick it up as early as Friday, worst case monday. Won't be able to make it friday anyway, so it'll be saturday, sunday or monday regardless.

For anyone interested, Western Nissan have what i think is a 2nd hand blue auto sitting in the showroom.

just went past the dealer this afternoon, sales guy was on leave, his boss revised my driveway price, now $1010 less than pre sales tax change

Nice work Peter. I better go and speak to my dealer.

Having coffee at Wollongong now and can see the Dugong Ace anchored out ar sea waiting for its docking slot at Port Kembla.
Dealer advised yesterday that he was hoping for my delivery to be approx 1st August

Can’t wait to start seeing some more of you Aussies with your own Zs. Hopefully not long now.

Still not gonna see much. There weren't many brought in on the Dugong Ace in Vic, infact i don't think it's even double digits. I think NSW will see better numbers, but it'll be nearly the end of the year before there's enough of these that they start to get spotted on the road.

Dugong Ace getting ready to dock at Port Kembla now, it's been a long wait, can't believe will have the Z shortly

Awesome!! The wait is nearly over!
I got a call yesterday asking me how I wanted them to mount my custom plates very courteous of them. Hoping to collect the car late next week

Super exciting. I can't wait to find out if I can actually get mine down the driveway !

For anyone in NSW, 'Z Fest' is on 15 October, would be great if a few of us could make it.

Have ordered custom plates but not ready yet, have looked at all the insurance quotes and GIO for me is by far the cheapest

I had to go up my driveway at a funny angle then turn as I got close to the garage door
with my old 370z, hoping the new z has the same front ground clearance

Love those plates @peter

Just dropping in to say I went and got my deposit back for the Z.

I got these instead:

Good luck everyone.

My driveway is pretty extreme (both ramp over and approach angles) and I was worried about the Z. Mine is no problem (not modified), but going slow helps.
I noticed that it scrapes a little on the approach angle on the driveway into my office underground garage if I’m going just a little fast so that the suspension loads. If I go slow it’s fine.
