Just for s&$ts and giggles I emailed my dealer re demos.

they missed out on first batch. Getting one later.

being they have 2 nissan dealerships that’s 2 less demos.

At the rate they are going I estimate a more realistic time frame for me will be December.
My next dealer call will be 2nd Sep for any type of update and possible demo drive when available

Yep…the 2nd is a Friday…my day off of work.
I won’t be calling, i will be waiting in the door step

Amethyst Ace is in Port Kembla after stopping in Port Moresby.
Doesn't look like it went to Brisbane?

Brisbane is a congested port so often ships will bypass and go direct to Port Kembla, with the cars unloaded and picked up and returned to Brisbane by another ship, or same ship on return...

As much as we all dislike the demo allocation, some won't blindly throw down the cash without a test drive.

Enough for the first allocation would

Ha ha, I agree. I am totally that guy who buys cars without test drives.

A fair number of dealerships see cars as purely commodities, so for passionate enthusiasts like us there is a disconnect.

funny how time lines change...i just wish nissan would just come out and say: " the new z will at dealers on 'x date', unless something unexpected happens"

after talking with my sales person today, they were not absolutely sure about the sept time line they gave me a couple weeks ago. now they are saying "towards the end of the year"

Hey not sure if you're able to share but thought it’s worth asking.. Has Nissan Australia sent out any dealership bulletins in relation to the Z since the one back in early July explaining the national allocation program?

So I bought a GR Yaris Rallye. Honestly this is the best car I’ve ever driven in stock form, I’m incredibly impressed. Gonna keep the Proto as a garage queen and keep its value, really didn’t want to be driving an auto around when I’ve been waiting this long.

CarExpert - Nissan Z hits Australia, company arranges 'family reunion'

 

[jezzza]

Just signed up as a VIP at an American Nissan dealer, they have new Z accessories to order and have %15 off. Thinking about getting the front and rear splash guards and the interior door scuff protector $325 USD. Thinking of getting it delivered to my hotel in Hawaii as they have free US shipping. They also have front carpet mats for $123 but I'm hoping i get those for free.

Not sure about 325usd but they do seem to be decent quality.

Not sure about 325usd but they do seem to be decent quality.

The 325 was for the front and rear splash guards and door scuff protector.
I'm sure we won't get these offered here.
I got the splash guards before from the US for my 370z and liked the look.
