Hands Up all the Aussies

[BurninateZ]

any of you guys switching to the Supra manual ?

Yeah I did a few weeks back. I'd lost confidence on getting a Z any time soon.

I hate to say it but Toyota/BMW/Magna Steyr have a much more sorted production line. I've had a couple of updates from the dealer since then and timelines have continually shortened, now looking at an April manufacture for July delivery.

It's been a breath of fresh air after the Z saga ?

That's the spot. Otherwise park up on Seafarers St and pop ya head through the fence. It's often a game of hide and seek with security but it's a bit of fun.

You may just get your wish.
I on the other hand get increasingly antsy
You must of done it good and proper for 12 weeks…usually it’s only an 8 week turn around.
When I broke my ankle ….it was only 6 weeks.
But mine wasn’t dramatic.it’s embarrassing to admit I was simply walking, stood on a gum it that twisted my ankle so badly it snapped ?
I couldn’t drive a manual either, coz I couldn’t use the clutch

Small bone shattered into a few pieces. Cast / splint for 6 weeks plus another six weeks avoiding heavy contact with palm / wrist. Could be ok after the 6 but will need to take it easy. Certainly not allowed back on the bike for 12 weeks.

You’re not gonna be happy with me then. Got a call yesterday. I expect somewhere between cars not being produced in order of orders and a cancellation I’ve been told I have a car arriving within weeks. The call was to confirm I wanted the car - needed an answer immediately or it would go to next matching order. Serves me right for saying I didn’t want a car for 12 weeks just two days ago!

How in the heck?
What colour did you order?
And I, not upset with you…just this crappy roll out
What dealership were you with again?

Maybe they heard the next shipment is leaving soon? I’m gonna hope my car is on there with yours

Osborne park - same as you. Gun metallic manual.

As I said - I expect I've just got lucky with a cancellation of someone ahead of me with the same spec (or Nissan is just sending cars as produced which aren't linked to the order of orders). I can see why it would make sense to produce a run of same colour.

Note that I wasn't given a VIN or any other details but it must be on water or even here if they are planning delivery before end of month

I just spoke to dealer. Car in the warehouse in Welshpool apparently, but the Z's will be last to leave from that shipment hence end of month delivery. I've gotta be the only buyer in Australia not in a rush so they can take as long as they like.

Same dealer and everything ?
They told me they were only getting two and they would come together …they are annoy me ?

So called the dealership…. @Hammo25 it seems you got extremely lucky…won the lottery kinda lucky.
This car was not a rejected order. Osborne park had no idea they were getting any Zs until the “first shipment” ( mine and the other guys)
It was the only Z on the ship…and they got asked if they wanted it pretty much when you did.

I said to the guy…look I’m not angry at you guys or the guy getting it, it’s not under your control.
But what the heck?

Why would they send one single car in the first place? And why would they send one that wasn’t sold over the preorders they have that are sold, and made (because the information the allocation lady sent me definitely confirms the car was made second half of Feb)
He said, he’s given up trying to figure out what they are doing and that he is just as frustrated as we are. He said for every question we have they have 7.
They have had cars that were meant for them that ended up in Melbourne (not Zs) all sorts of things that are highly frustrating

Like you said…the irony is, it’s going to the one guy here that’s probably not in a hurry ?
Enjoy though…hopefully I’m not too far behind.
You’ll know it’s me driving when I get it….all that pent up frustration might be released behind the wheel, so watch out ?

It’s gonna look awesome in my garage for a month or so!

so this is why I asked about colours the other day.

It looks like they are coming in based on that rather than orders.
eg the first ones I saw in peoples hards were black, then some whites turned up, then silver now looks like gun metal.

so I think they are building in batches of colour then sending out.

which, and I know this will piss one person off the msot, I bet they leave yellow to last as they already did the protos which would have been the majority of the yellow early preorders.
