Hands Up all the Aussies

[loudsx]

You would think that testing and compliance would be complete before a stack of cars arrive.
If they fail, it’s a bit late to send them all back to be adjusted to comply

being they now have cars registered that has to have been completed.
so pretty sure that step is done and dusted.

I have to wonder.
Are the dealers really in the dark or, just been told not to leak anything on pain of death.
Unless these are all for dealers, they would have VINs and allocations surely?

My understanding is that Nissan AU have not yet allocated vehicles (as per Protos) therefore dealers are still in the dark. Remember we were all supposed to get a phone call from Nissan Au a few weeks ago.

I’m wondering if on the first at 7pm will Nissan make all allocations live in the system?
Or will we be waiting for a good while yet.

I reckon we'll be waiting until Protos hit the road and then Coupes may trickle through in October

To be honest, haven’t seen any yellow coupes only Protos…which doesn't instill confidence, I’m still hoping if they don’t have yellow but another colour in manual that they offer it to me. I like almost all colours.

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks

Yeah looks like the least popular colours are coming through first ? For Demos I guess?

Hi all,

Spoke to my dealer said I have to wait for Nissan to call me too blah blah blah... one of my friends was driving to the city in Melbourne and took this image yesterday. Damn this is painful...

 

[loudsx]

White VIN
JN1GBAZ34A0200040

Blue VIN
JN1GBAZ34A0200077

Silver
JN1GBAZ34A0200094

which is very interesting as that's a higher VIN than the one assigned to a friend.

so these 3 plus that proto from a little bit back are all regoed on the 11th Aug so 2 weeks ago.

and which was a day after that truck full was spotted.

so I'm going media cars.

as dealers would be plating them themselves when they get them.

 

[West Aussie]

Jesus, I really hope that your dealer was misinformed. I'm not going to wait around until the exact combination happens to arrive at the right port which then happens to be transported to the right dealership. With 38 build combinations there’s slim odds of that ever working out.

Me too

They could be dealer demos?

Even though there are registered cars on the road, full compliance *could* still be pending. Very unlikely, but can import and register pending full compliance (ie, vehicle import approval for limited number of vehicles that are imported for testing/compliance).

As I said though, this is unlikely the case. Pretty sure these things have well and truly had their compliance done by now. It's not like every car needs to be checked... could just be awaiting the paperwork all clear though.

My thoughts are that dealers continue to be at the mercy of Nissan Australia. And Nissan Australia are trying to get all their ducks in a row and deliver the initial batch en masse rather than dribs and drabs.

Could be worse... could be subject to BMSB seasonal measures...

dealer demos are usually delivered to the dealer and then they rego them as it's their car.

thefact these were all done on same day with the same batch of plates makes me think they are nissan HQ, thus Media cars.

expect to see some well thrashed cars 2nd hand in 6 months.

but yes 2nd Sept I expect dealer demos will start appearing, along with hopefully some customer cars.
(and the fact I know a custoemr VIN is lower than one of these makes me think there are some customer cars in country.)

From my understanding they're conducting in-house testing before dealership training is issued. Although not officially communicated even to dealerships, I believe that the 1st of September holds some significance in their marketing and release strategy.

Saw some chatter about insurance a few days ago (?)
I jumped into BudgetDirect, as they list the Nissan Z as a car, but when I went through the initial quote process I got this:

Anyone had success?
I had a car stolen in the last 5 years, and wondered if it was just me?
