Hands Up all the Aussies

[loudsx]

So it’s actually wife’s car

she had a 2018 Impreza prior so same boot size as your XV this is same width but about a foot longer so super handy.

Original plan was my Z this year and she was getting hers next.

when I was told mid next year for mine we went down and ordered this that weekend.

and naturally 2 days after picking this up I was emailed to be told I have a build slot for the Z.

The happy news on that.
MY24

and after the my24 news broke re the blue interior I went and talked to dealer and the build sheet does have it.

so blue paint and blue interior very happy.

So I’m actually happy for the delay as I was annoyed originally AU did not get it and USA did and had been looking at finding a parted out one in usa to get the interior but it’s now all worked out for me.

OK OK OK... so my car is on a ship and only a few weeks away! If it arrives by Dec 22nd it'll be 365 days since I ordered! hah

Can anyone locally in Australia recommend where to buy/order an exhaust... is it that AWE available? Or anyone happy with what they got and let me know?

(Oh... is it really $3k?!)

Congrats! Nice time of the year to get it. I've seen a few posts re: exhausts on the AU Facebook sites for the new Z so it might be worth posting there too (I haven't changed mine).

Haven’t gotten the car yet!

but might need to find an upholstery person to change the material .

Hi All, posting to confirm that the rear Cargo blind from the 370Z fits perfectly in our cars, got one yesterday for $200 from a wrecker in perfect condition

Are there any of the 9” radio units available online? I’d love to change mine out to the larger size, even if in Japanese spec with Japanese buttons!

I think there have been a few wrecks in the US, maybe a search of wreckers over there

 

[theboosh]

Have been thinking the same, although I wonder if US features like Nissan Connect, Sirius XM etc might make it harder to get working here.

Personally I reckon a good thing to chase from a US wreck could be the AT (louder) exhaust.

I’d also love the side rear red reflectors!

Now… who knows here to find a wrecker ?

That's a good pick up. I couldn't find anything second hand so I picked up a new one for $460.00.

Did you upgrade the gas struts too? Maybe the new covers come with the struts?

 

[MattJ2020]

Since I missed out on the front license plate bracket from a fellow forum member... can anyone recommend one again please?

Works fine with the original struts

Always felt like overkill that heavier duty struts would be needed

Do you want to keep in the same spot or move it
If in the same spot I just cut down the original bracket to slightly smaller than the plate and remounted, no cost
