Caught up with grandad lol

Great angle to show the design elements. Even the grill which some don't like.

There were a few photographers there, so I expect there will be much better shots floating around soon

I only just grabbed this one quick with my phone, thought fans of the original might get a kick!

Did anyone see what the Z on Llyods sold for?

was at 85K when I last saw it 45 min to go.

I have been reading this thread for the last 6 months, but has decided to cancel my pre-order. It’s a great looking car, shame about the launch.

It is such a shame to see people pulling their orders but very understandable.

I may still be interested in a Nismo in a couple of years.

I was watching it, it ended at 85k so I doubt it hit reserve

ok thanks

so 85K plus the 7.5% buyers premium

that would be within a couple hundred of the driveaway price of one in vic

if ti did sell with sellersfees they would ahve got sub 80K which is a huge loss

expecting it to pop up on car sales again shortly I guess..

Sorry to see you bite the dust mate, but like mentioned above, it's hardly surprising. Wonder how many potential buys have fallen off within the wider public..

None of the ones on carsales have been selling either. If everyone swallowed their pride I’d say 100k is a good selling point for a Proto, I don’t expect many people will pay much more than that.

Update email from my dealer today. (First time I've heard from them in 8 weeks)

Here is a portion of it:

"Just a quick update on your order, all the Z arrived in Australia last month but due to an issue with the metallic paint, they were all sent back.

We are now waiting from Nissan Australia to release the new allocation. We are hoping to get the car by January"

I've lost the hype for this now. Probably gunna put my name down for a type-r.

Still not 100% on which way I'll go.

Both cars are about 10k more than I would have expected tbh.

I'm such an attention whore... You have no idea how true this is
I'm basically a Kardashian...

That really does sound like complete bs...
Never heard of cars being returned to place of manufacture to correct a paint defect... That is absurd.

I was also half expecting the Lloyds auction to fail... Just can't imagine it's a good platform to sell one?

The carsales asking prices were crazy- which just goes to my point of being happy to take the money from someone who is stupid enough to pay $40k over RRP.
(Fool and their money...)
$95-$100k does seem more reasonable for now- still over, but understandable given current supply/demand, which is only temporary of course.

So is it the damn 6spds or the paint? What the fuck is going on?
