Hands Up all the Aussies

[Exciter]

I tried to order blue/blue but Nissan wouldn't let me so I ordered white/red.

I ordered mine about 2.5 years ago, and only got it over Easter a couple of weeks ago.

How’d I get mine in 1 yr and 1 week from order? Received Jan 7, 2024.

Well it’s a bummer you couldn’t get the colour combo you wanted but the white with red looks sweet as.

when I couldn't order blue/blue when I put my order in My second preference was white/red as well.

but I ended up deciding on BLue/Black as I really liked the blue.

when the press release for the MY24 came out saying blue interior was back on the cards I went and talked to dealer about changing the combo and he sorted me out.

but honestly white/red is such a good combo as well love it.

interestingly my dealer (which is a small regional one) had a white/red come in that was ordered before mine in the same shipment as mine arrived, guess it a twin to yours and buildin a batch.


it's interesting that nissan say there is only 2 blue interiours and they arrived at same time as well.

Really good track morning out here at DRM… the other drivers who have 350/370’s are enjoying it and I’m in the new Z loving it! Grips well with stock tyres and handles well too.

Because they couldn't get the paint right on the tri-coat colours. They focused on getting the simpler colours out first. The white was apparently the worst of them.

Mine has to go back under warranty because the paint still isn't right. I don't know how it passed inspection.

White?! The worst.. oh god.

what was the issue?

Three layers of different whites including pearl and fleck layers. New paint facility and new "environmentally friendly" application methods. A recipe for disaster, especially in Nissan's hands..

It looks fantastic up close, though. Not just a basic white.

what was the issue?

The problem with mine is not the white, they seem to have fixed that issue, but the black roof isn't right. It's patchy and spotty with white visible through spots and scratched where they missed while slapping the glass into place.

It seems like they inspected the white and didn't even bother to check over the top.

The Z got a new brother today. A 1991 TX3 4WD Turbo. I always loved these as a kid and now it's happened. Very different to the Z but still so much fun.

I so lusted after those as a kid, made me first wonder to the magic of turbos.

considering you could have this with 132kw out of 1.8L

or at same time a base model EA falcon 3.2L had 90 KW from it's much bigger 6 cly
or if you spent more you gould get the bigger 6 3.9L in falcon with still only 120kw.

so over double the capacity and less power.

good find.

These have/had 117kw I believe. It still feels very punchy when on boost and it has a cool green boost light which my inner child loves. Quite a few small issues that I need to fix if ever I have the time/can find the parts. But for a 33 year old car it seems pretty clean and original - I love it. I was surprised how smooth it drove even at freeway speeds on the way home.

maybe the detuned them for AU crap fuel

or maybe they just rated them as 117 so it came in under their falcon 6 .......
