Hands Up all the Aussies

[whopacha]

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.

How are you lot holding up ? Is the Z closer for anyone or what ?

No news from me, didn't worry to much about contacting my two dealers as I figured that they would have no new news over this period.
On a side note I see some manufactures are having delays due to ship being in quarrantine, one in Port Kembla, due to stink bugs from Thailand, ships need to be fumigated.

Happy new year everyone

I saw something on Facebook, where I get all my news and facts, that said the manual transmission issue has now been fully resolved. I think that was from a Canadian poster. I do get the feeling that deliveries for the early orders are not far away now.

Can’t believe people are still waiting. I feel bad for you guys. I gave up waiting over a year and half ago and don’t regret it at all. Life is too short.
hopefully you guys get them soon

Did you order the car before it was released?

Wonder if we could retro fit this? Or, if anyone with a Z in Australia could check, any ambient interior lighting?

it all looks dealer fit so I don’t see why not.

lets play spot the difference

what are odds there a price rise inbound for new orders.

what's the odds people who pre-ordered are not given a call or enough time to respond to a text, message or email and the Z is sold out from under them? ...is it possible?

not trying to cause concern, but i can see where some greedy dealers here in the usa may try to pull off something like this in an attempt to get top dollar.

Lucky this is the Aussie thread

Anyone know if the front Nissan badge on the nose of the car can be taken off easily? Tooth floss of course but curious to know if it’s just glued on or if there might be a hole or two in place?
Anyone source a genuine Fairlady Z read emblem too?

that's good, because it probably means there is no criminal element there...

hold up, no-one is saying that... just that dealers cannot sell with markup's like in USA.
(them selling to another dealer they own and then selling used with a markup....well that's totally legal but that's whern they order in one not a customer allocation)

plus we are all well know to be convicts so there's that as well

I've asked the question to a YTer who just wrapped his Z. Z1 also had the new part, so shot them a message too. I'd love to remove it from mine if it's easy.

Had an S15 that I found had a hole underneath the Nissan logo, way too late ?

Hi ya all….just returned from my holiday.
I’d ask if there was any new updates, but I’m pretty sure I know the answer, particularly because I saw someone on Facebook remark that dealers are confirming orders again.
I mean, come on…how many times do people need to confirm.
And if they are still asking questions it means cars have still not been built.

Saw a tempting option in NSW in person…seriously considering buying it, however I’m concerned about transporting a unregistered car into a different state. How hard is it to get over the pits? How do I drive it unregistered to get it to the pits?

Transport estimates are anywhere between 2.5k and 5k….so anyone got any recommendations on reliable companies?
There is a car similar being sold on WA, however the second hand damage is more noticeable on it, and it’s not certified…where as the NSW specimen looks as new, is certified by the manufacturer which means it comes with 2 year manufacturer warranty , the catch is is has 30k on the clock ( the one in WA 16k) and will cost around 3-4K more after transport.

I’m really torn. I so wanted the Z, but the shine has worn off and I’m sick of driving a crappy i20 around. On the flip side I don’t want to give, and know as soon as I do I’ll get notification to say the Z is on its way.

Honestly do not know what to do for the best
