Hands Up all the Aussies

Yeah…that one doesn’t look to be coming to Perth, so unless they are transporting by road, or train which is a possibility ( an expensive one) I don’t think it’s it

The one looking most promising from this side is the “Trans Leader” due in on the tenth, 4 Japanese ports, then Perth then Darwin…then I dint know where….can you see if it’s docking in QLD ?
It also looks like it finished up in Melbourne the last time it was here

looks like it has a sister ship Eridanus Leader does the east coast and has the same japanese ports as the Trans Leader, currently in Brisbane

All other new Nissan's come with 5yr unlimited km, no reason this would be any different

Here is the goss I got today from a dealer in Canberra. Delivery of CBR Proto Spec expected Aug 22, coupes to come Sep/Oct. For my dealership, allocation was one Proto Spec (from 3 applications) with orders for 70ish coupes. Dealership notification happens once the car gets loaded onto the ship. Australia wide, 140 Proto Specs with WA Proto Spec demand (and allocation) being particularly high. Happy motoring!!

Few different numbers regarding total proto production getting around.

Where's the official figure Nissan!

I'm hoping they're wrong about Sep/Oct delivery. That'll be very disappointing.

My dealer seems to get things wrong a lot…but he still seems to think there will be a mix of cars that arrive in the first shipment, and that is what was definitely said in a couple of the media reviews.
Time will tell, but I too we’ll be disappointed by a Sept Oct delivery …not surprised, but disappointed

More likely some people will be waiting until 2023 and even 2024.

Not sure if our markets are comparable. It’s the first time in automotive history that we may receive delivery before the USA. In saying that you could just start a mediocre YouTube channel and they’ll drop a Z Performance off at your home tomorrow.

Yep, but it's a ruined press car that you only have for a week.

Just went to see if my dealer had any further info. Nothing new to report other than they are getting just 1 proto spec, 7 only in QLD

I'll admit a tiny part of me wishes I ordered a Proto. Not wanting a bright coloured car but could have wrapped it in any colour.

Me too …but my only reason is because the Protos may get here first…other than that I’m still happy with my choice, just wish it would bloody hurry up.
And now I have taken to having my phone with me EVERYWHERE I go, terrified I might miss a call ??

There's not enough to justify the price hike over the Performance, especially as it's looks basically identical ... other than having "#XXX of 500" stamped somewhere on it.

 

[peter]

at this rate of delivery it looks like the build date stamp will be 2023

The best thing about the proto for me, is definitely the interior. I'm a fan of the yellow interior (it's the best Nissan's ever going to do lol ?). With that being said, I'm going red and red interior. Want something different than standard black for a change. Hope Australia gets the option...
