Hands Up all the Aussies

[Bert]

hey they did put a diaclaimer that it is an overseas model

so yeah that fixes everything!

going to talk to my dealer next monday be curious what they ahve to say as I know they had some red on order.

but personally curious what they will say re blue interior
more so as the new reports mention it for the 24 model but it's not on the nissan configurator yet.

Yeah I was wondering about the blue interior as well. From what I can tell the dealers are as much in the dark as we are atm

As someone that worked in a dealership for quite a while... yeh, for new features/spec changes, we are often in the unknown as much as everyone else. Just about all we get more than customers is stock info (build/eta/boat names/vin etc...).

Often guests would give me updates for new specs/changes ?

What a bunch of flogs.
This is just the icing on the cake for how useless they are.

Dealers in general?

Okay, disclaimer: This is the 2023 US brochure. YMMV.

The red exterior was not available with the blue interior.

Without trying to sound nasty? why post it here?

Thanks.
I guess I’m trying to explore other colour options now that red is off the table. Problem is I don’t really know what’s on the table anymore and Nissan in general seems completely uninterested.
I’m turning to the dark side now (Supra)?

Best of luck finding a Supra. I tried and it was just as hard to find a manual for a good price. Let alone the color I wanted. Wait lists were crazy everywhere I looked.

I’m in Australia. Put down a refundable deposit, price can move a little depending on retail adjustment for next year’s model but that’s it. Azure blue, manual. Approx 12 month wait time. I’ve still got a deposit on the Z which is now refundable so I’ll just sit on that and see which comes first. Was never in a great hurry to get this car but the whole Nissan experience has been a disappointment

Yeah the 12 month wait time is in line with what I was experiencing. Some places told me possibly 2 years for my exact spec. Unfortunately for you Aussie folk I know the Z situation has been pretty shit. Its just not a great market in general I think though.

Sweeett!! Let me know how you go.

My Supra, also in Azure Blue, is due on Monday. It come off the boat at Brisbane port a week ago. It's been a long freaking wait. 13 months.

Just on pricing. Mine went up about $2500. But I was price protected by Toyota for about $1900 due to when the car went into production/built date (April). Toyota are pretty good with that stuff.

My wife's Z was supposed to be here next month. But the dealer just told me it's being built next month... and it's now a my24... 2.5k price rise.

I'm cool with price rises. I get it. But the Toyota experience is different.

Nice!!! It’s a fast little beasty!!!
Still a long wait for your wife’s car by the sounds of it ?
I’ve ordered a GT, so when I factored in that the Z needed an aftermarket exhaust and most likely coil overs to get it to where I’d like it, there wasn’t much difference in price. The Supra I’m happy with out of the box.
Initially I wasn’t sure about the wheels on the GT but I think the 18’s actually make more sense. I’ve got 19’s on my GTI and there really isn’t enough sidewall for our shitty roads.
Anyways, I’d still be happy if the Z miraculously appears first, it’s a fun car and looks stunning ?

Sweet! It doesn't actually take them long to get it built. It was about 6 months from order to build. It's the transport that's a killer. Add another 6 months just to get into it, once it's built.

It's nice to know that your car actually exists somewhere and it isn't just a deposit and piece of paper (contract).

Just curious to know if someone could point me to a few exhausts available in Australia or for Australia? I'm not expecting gargles or pops at gear changes but I'd like a nicer note (don't want an annoying drone whilst cruising either).

I had a custom 3.5” valved stainless steel exhaust installed by Rob Bliss in Brisbane. Sounds great and if it’s too much drone on highway I can silence it with the remote valve. It’s not super poppy or obnoxious but it’s much nicer than stock. Sounds similar to an R35 GTR under load. $3100 installed

Change of topic - but for anyone still annoyed at no wireless Apple CarPlay, I bought one of these (via Amazon) and it works perfectly.

I was just looking at this. I am moving from my 2003 350Z to the new 2023 Z so the technology has advanced quite a bit and I'm lost with Apple Carplay. I used to connect my iPhone to my stereo with just Bluetooth, but can't get Carplay to work unless it is connected via USB cable. Is that what's supposed to happen? Do you need to pay for wi-fi to get it work wirelessly (or use a device like this one)?
