The Amethyst Ace has not had its location updated for 20 hours. I reckon she's doing the drop off it missed in BNE on the way down.

Sorry…there are over 10 cars there….all for the media.
Nope, they should have two and share them. After all they don’t NEED to sell anymore for quite some time, and there are already 100s of US reviews, same car…so give the cars to actual buyers

So being this is Nissan's new hero car they are not trying to sell more Zs.

They are hoping joe citizen will now come into the dealer to check out the cool car and then they can sell them a run out xtrail.

It's about lead generation more than selling Zs.

Progress Ace left BNE due into PK
Tonight

Progress Ace left BNE due into PK

Just had a thorough look down at the port. If any Zs were unloaded they've been driven directly off and onto the overpass. Sorry I'm not brave enough to launch the drone.

Ha, where's your sense of adventure @jezzza !

Had that big heap of activity the other week, but this week is lining up to be quieter than I'd of guessed it would be. Still no vin or update that the ship has left its point of origin currently.

I'm assuming it has, but yeah, last communication with my dealer was that it hadn't and once it had, a more accurate time frame would be provided. I would’ve put money on hearing something this week to be honest, though I guess the week isn't over just yet...

 

[Proto Z]

My dealer reached out to me yesterday about my MT proto allocation.
Nissan Australia have advised that my allocation will have a build date of August 2022 (future tense - made it sound like it hasn't rolled off the production line yet).

No ETA, but even if it rolled out today, it would have to be ~2 months away at earliest.
I'm expecting delivery in 2023 now.

Guess this gives me more time to shop for accessories ?

just FYI all those media cars that are here currently bar 1 are AUG builds and rego 11th Aug.

so don’t bet on 2 months.

friends MT proto has a lower VIN build than at least one of the media cars so guessing his car is already in country.

Not quite sure how that worked - they must have turned them around SUPER quick when they left production...
It's typically 25-30 days by ship from JP to AU (25 days to MEL, 27 to SYD, 30 to BNE).

 

[loudsx]

here is one of the extracts compliance plate is installed when built and it has a Aug build

and there was also mention of another proto coming in with a lower build that the one I know of, so yeah

unless they flew them in however they normally get photoed by everyone if they do.

Curious as to how you are getting the build date off that? Is it in the VIN itself?

You don't mean the Compliance date? That is very different to the build date... compliance date is the date here, in Australia, that the car passed our ADR compliance standards. All cars (at least in the first few waves) will have the same compliance date.

Some may have earlier, as they could have been brought in limited numbers for specific safety and design testing.

Might be some news might not be ? I went and saw dealer today and have an updated contract ( no vin etc tho. ) but the new contract has everything else on it in a breakdown of price, paint choice etc balance owing etc etc says New Z coupe manual and has estimated delivery date at the bottom of 28/10/22 I also asked about the cars in Melbourne to which he knew nothing about. So I showed him the pics and he checked the rego / vin of them and one seems to line up with the dealer demo mentioned earlier for late September. So that could be a thing
