Hands Up all the Aussies

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"

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...

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.

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.

The Amethyst Ace is in Melbourne now. Let's hope she stops at Brisbane on her way back north.

Any Proto owners have ship names for your vehicles? Dealers should have the info
