Hands Up all the Aussies

[Kaito]

Basiclly like a few other good shops they are just flat out these days booked for months.

Yeah that's fair. Is there a reason for the sudden surge in places being booked out?
TruTrack Suspension was fully booked out too last month when I called them and only managed to squeeze in a slot

Curious to know how many Orange Z’s were imported and sold in Australia as well as Rosewood.

Rosewood will no longer be available from 2025.

I don't have Aus wide numbers, but I've been tracking QLD cars where I can.

Known-
0 Orange cars in QLD
2 Rosewood cars in QLD


I think I saw somewhere 2x Orange in Victoria.

On another note, any Australian owners getting a rattling noise from the B pillar back, on the LHD on abrasive highway type roads? The roads are newly paved but a lot of noise and vibration comes from the tarmac and now I’m getting a rattling noise. About 75kph to 100kph and over… even slowing down it happens until you hit smooth tar at an intersection for example on a highway…

I've got a rattling noise from the center console. Happened after I hit a pothole (before coilovers). I blame it on the endless amounts of potholes all over Victoria state

Bloody bird pooed on car when I was grabbing stuff out of garage on weekend.

Well good excuse for a rinse.

But did pick up a stone in the brakes on way home so need to find that bastard now.

What license plate holder using?

Have we got a list of VIN’s so see who has the earlier build in Australia?

What license plate holder using?

I'm using the flow rz34 mounts direct to plate.

Tho I would like it a bit higher so might get their plate bracket as well.

Tried the autobarn plate holder but way to flimsy think would snap at speed so never installed.

That's a really clean look. It seems like it might work for a US plate as well. Any idea if it does?

It's pretty adjustable so would fit many plate types.

Chatted with the fine folks at flowbrackets. This does not work well for US plates, which is a bummer.

One more reason not to move to USA. Got it.

Down to 2 reasons to move there.

Right turn on red. I really like this one.
No front plate states.

No front plate states.

And, even in states where a front plate is required, enforcement may be lax, so if you're willing to take the risk...

The right turn on red thing can be fun. The Z is easily able to accelerate up to the speed of oncoming traffic.

C'mon over!
