  1. Nismo Z vs Mustang Dark Horse vs GR Supra

    I expected better results from the Nismo, but at least the chassis looks sorted, and I'm sure would be a heap of fun on the street. It's clearly not going to be competitive on track without a bunch of work, so imo it's a massive fail that it doesn't come with a manual (yet? c'mon nissan)...
  2. Hands Up all the Aussies

    It ranges a bit depending on the shop and the coating used, but I'd expect 1000-1500 based on the quotes I got. I used https://www.perthdetailingcentre.com.au/ when I had my Supra coated and got PPF on the front and I thought they were a good choice.
  3. Hands Up all the Aussies

    In short, because the 94k that's listed is before taxes/duties are applied, and how they're calculated varies from state to state. This gives you an idea of what we get slugged with https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-advice/what-is-driveaway-pricing/
  4. Hands Up all the Aussies

    Visited my Toyota dealer this morning and it looks like even they've jumped on the bandwagon. Asking for too much money as usual.
  5. Toyota GR 86 vs Nissan Z

    The Z might still have it in right hand turns though :) New Data Suggests Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 Lose Oil Pressure In Right Turns on Track
  6. 2020 Toyota Supra makes world debut

    I feel like I've seen that styling somewhere before.. Can't say I'm a fan of the colour, though it might work a bit better in sunlight.
  7. Drag Race: Nissan Z 6MT vs Civic Type R vs Elantra N

    That CTR is doing wonders with a FWD layout. It really shouldn't be as competitive with the Z off the line as it is
  8. Hands Up all the Aussies

    Nice discount! No, what is this magic? :D
  9. Hands Up all the Aussies

    Nice! That was my spec before jumping ship. I don't know what your itemised price is but a ~78.5k LCT value does seem a bit high to me. Hopefully no surprises there 🤞 For reference the Supra GT (96.6k driveaway) works out like below
  10. Hands Up all the Aussies

    Proto / dealer options? You must be ~6k over the current threshold then so will get the full discount. I'm in a similar boat (Supra GT 6MT) and I think it works out to a ~1.5k reduction
  11. Hands Up all the Aussies

    I don't think the Z has much of a LCT component in the current driveaway price. Just bear in mind that LCT isn't paid on stamp duty / licensing etc.
  12. Is the Z bigger on the inside?

    I don't have mine yet, it's only just gone into production (manual variant). Yeah its hard to get a feel for without being able to at least sit in one. I daily drove an SW20 MR2 for ~10yrs so I wonder if my perception is skewed, but it didn't feel claustrophobic to me. I think it would be fair...
  13. Is the Z bigger on the inside?

    Have sat in both the Z and Supra - ditched a Z order in favour of a Supra after the never ending delays. The Supra is definitely a tighter cabin, though there's plenty of space around the driver imo, I don't think fitting would be a problem. It's a bit harder to get in and out of the Supra given...
  14. 2023 BMW M2 vs Toyota Supra GR vs Nissan Z. Drag and Roll Race

    Good effort from the Z & Supra drivers, they look to have nailed the Car & Driver figures. I have a feeling the M2 should be taking the win here though. Maybe the extra weight + power is making for a more difficult launch
  15. Hands Up all the Aussies

    Imo, if you enjoy the Z4 that much that's what I would get. As much as I hate to say it, the Z and its direct competitors are getting to a level of fast that's not going to be regularly useable on the road. /2cents
  16. Hands Up all the Aussies

    Lowest wait time in the list of longest wait times. They're referencing PriceMyCar data and the shortest wait times is a completely different list
  17. Is "Super Black" a wrap?

    Given how long ago it was, maybe it was a once off / pre-production fix?
  18. Z1 touring catback is underwhelming/almost stock sound

    Why Nissan made it so hard to get some character out of the Z exhaust system I don't know. As all the YT videos show, the VR30 can sound great, but it seems like more work than it should be to get there.
  19. Hands Up all the Aussies

    I'd review the paperwork first just to know what obligations you and the dealer have. I had a clause in my (MTA WA) contract like and So when I cancelled I just shot off an email to the dealer stating that I wanted to terminate the contract and asked for next steps on having the deposit...
  20. Hands Up all the Aussies

    Yeah I did a few weeks back. I'd lost confidence on getting a Z any time soon. I hate to say it but Toyota/BMW/Magna Steyr have a much more sorted production line. I've had a couple of updates from the dealer since then and timelines have continually shortened, now looking at an April...
