Hands Up all the Aussies

[Proto Z]

I've thought about it, it's always been such a high impact mod on cars I've owned previously, it's worth considering. The thing that has me unsure now is my MCA coilovers specifically say not to change the sway bars as the coils are developed for the stock ones, which is something I've not heard before with regard to coilovers.

Having said that, normal driving with the MCAs in produces hardly any bodyroll. Maybe they know what they are talking about...

They will work.
I have MCA coilovers and Whiteline sway bars (front and rear) and they work just fine.

TBH though, I wouldn't get sway bars again. I think MCA's comments may have been more that they dialled in well-balanced settings, and that adding sway bars may make it too rigid. I feel that mine is now too rigid, and have it on the softest damping setting.

EDIT: Should also have said - both MCA and Whiteline R&D'd off my car. MCA cautioned me about the sway bars being unnecessary after they'd dialled me in. FWIW they were right.

I was so avoiding the idea of coil overs

but seeing some recent pics I think I might need a slight drop so yeah...sucks to be me.

Anyone know where I could buy the larger radio unit for the Z? RHD of course….

And perhaps is there a hack for the driver display to run a GPS or Apple Car Play?

not keen on being hit with '24 pricing if Nissan can't get it together.

I just found out last week that the SUO my wife has been allocated is for a my24 and most like build completed next month/September. And that of course we will be subject to the new pricing

I asked the dealer if GPS could display any instructions on the drivers display and because it's not a dedicated GPS it wont

nice that you have a car allocated
red is now officially discontinued, no more to come

We have had the SUO for 2 months now. So just waiting for actual info about it (suo shows up blank for dealership still).

One of my best mates ordered a red one as well. He's super sad he won't get one. Dealership hasn't said anything to him yet, bit we all know he won't be getting one. He didn't place his order as early as you.

I'd be upset as passing up on all those colours for the red. Then after all this time, you will probably end up with one of the colours you passed up on Sorry man.

Finally got mine a month ago - ordered Jan 2022, blue manual in VIC - after zero communication, was all suddenly happening and I got it two weeks after the "we have a car for you" phone call. Absolutely loving it!

I'm a bit confused... does anyone know if they are going to honour orders for Red that were placed before they pulled the color . .? e.g. June 2022 ???

Only if the order has an SUO.
If not then your SOoL

Edit: this is my understanding from a few FB posts and limited dealer info. Nobody knows for sure

My dealer seems to think I won’t be getting a red one anymore. I have no idea what Nissan is sending me, if anything. Complete clusterfuck

My understanding was also no SUO = no red.

Once there is an SUO, that means the plant has a plan to build the car.

If your dealer doesn't have that for you, then you won't get a red (unless you get an allocation where its already built/cancelled order).

Some good news… Aug 1 my car was built… should be on a ship sometime in September and delivered in late Oct or early Nov.

(ordered end of Dec 2022)

According to the Nissan Australia instagram page this morning, Passion red is still a thing ?
