wow, loose trim? can you give us some more details please?
Sure, it is the lower silver trim on the bottom of the steering wheel. Usually it is a solid piece but mine had a 1mm gap between it and the actual steering wheel. Made a god awful rattle. Started at around 3,000kms.

Fun fact, because the spline for the steering wheel is pushed in, you can't just replace the wheel, you need to do a wheel alignment because no two will be the same.

Does anyone know if the MY23 have a shark fin style antenna? The reason I ask is I got a tailored car cover for Purfit (awesome guys btw) and they cut their design from the first Zs and it has a spot for an antenna.

The Nissan Australia site shows an antenna so I initially I thought it may have got missed on the production line but then the pic of the other Orange Z in Western Australia show no antenna.

It seems that the US spec has a fin style antenna and they're using US spec/style images on Aus website. I don't have this on my late MY23 build.

It's probably for Satellite radio/GPS which we don't get either.

US company or Aus?

if Aus they’re probably working off sizing that they’ve received from Japan/US.

The Aussie car cover joint. I just spoke to the owner and that is what happened (they were working off the American specs).
They are going to replace it for me so I’d like to give a shout out to these guys. I’ve got their covers on another one of my cars and they not only make a great product but Aussie owned too.
I have no connections with this company but they make a good product:
