For anyone in melbs, Footscray has a black manual demo. I happened to spot it when driving past. Dropped in for a look and a sit in it. First time seeing it in person.
I also asked my dealership if it was possible to give the contract to anyone else. I also asked if it was possible to swap...
I was told today that my dealership will have a demo in mid Jan and allocations at the same time.
Not that it matters too much now, I already blew money on the motorbike and will likely save a few bucks getting the type r, but not far away now.
Well I'm 99% sure I'm going to bail on the Z now, still want to see one in person, and test drive though. Got delivery of my new motorbike today (indian scout rogue - black smoke midnight) and I'm pretty sure I'll pick up the new civic type R fl5 (put deposit down Dec 1 and told they should be...
If (like me) the main aim was a manual and you don't mind swapping the rwd for a fwd. Maybe check out the new civic type-r fl5. Completely diff I suppose, but it looks pretty fun.
I have put a deposit on the type r now (and also a new motorbike) so it is highly likely I'll be dropping the Z at...
Update email from my dealer today. (First time I've heard from them in 8 weeks)
Here is a portion of it:
"Just a quick update on your order, all the Z arrived in Australia last month but due to an issue with the metallic paint, they were all sent back.
We are now waiting from Nissan Australia...
Some reviews and lack of info is starting to get to me. I think I'm starting to lean more toward the new type r. I dont know what to do, I want to see both cars in person. Wonder what Aus pricing will be like. Buying the civic is a little more practicable. The price difference will make it a...
Well I got an email today that opened with the sentence: "Just a quick update on your Nissan Pathfinder"
Ummmm, at least get the car right?
They also asked me for documents that I had already sent them previously.
No new info at all. :(
I asked a bunch of questions but haven't got a reply at...
I actually like the front of the civic better than the Z, and the rear of the Z better than the civic. I'm interested in both.
Not gunna buy 2 cars though. 1 is already a poor financial decision when I could likely get a much more practical car for cheaper. Haha.
I expect to get hands on the Z...
My contract has floor mats as free as well.
Not sure if I'm included in your stats @Mud, should have listed who was included maybe?
Coupe, Victoria, Seiran blue, manual.
I'll most likely still pick up the Z, but I also have eyes for the new civic type-r at the moment too. If I had enough cash...
Will do. I agree the smaller screen and audio and stuff is a bit bullshit for the price. I also saw a few vids with crunching gears. I wonder if that's the same car being smashed by multiple journos though. Hopefully not a big problem. Otherwise I could get on board with the new civic type-r...
Got a msg from my dealer today:
...Just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know that we be hopefully getting the New Z for test drive some point in September. I will let you know as soon as the car is here so you can come and have a drive then also get more insight on when yours will...
If you really want it and you've waited this long so far, might as well hold out for another few months. Every other car is gunna have wait times too. I got friends waiting on Kia sportage's. Ones waited 6 months already and the other I think might have been told 12 months?
Email from my dealer...

Drive-away price totals to 82k, told this can't be modified even when adjusting new financial years lct or removing...
I was initially told my dealer (werribee, Melbourne westside) would have a car for viewing only on 29th July, but then that had since been changed and they will now have a car sometime in August available for test drive.
They also gave me a proper electronic contract with pricing. The total...
