Hands Up all the Aussies

[Beard]

But the point is this car and many others are showing up as being made from Dec to Feb week 2 …that’s anywhere between 12-18 weeks ago, and still not on a boat?
Meanwhile the dealerships are now full of unsold cars.
So what’s really going on? Even if the Feb builds haven’t left what’s the excuse for the December one when there have been plenty of other Nissans sent after that time, and why are they prioritising unsold cars for customers that have been waiting 2 years.
I know they make more from other models, but if they haven’t sold them they are giving up money from sold Zs that will at least pay for the production of them with a little to spare …and if they have really been made that’s money they need rather than risk more and more cancelled orders.

None of it makes sense. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they haven’t been made yet because it just doesn’t add up
By the time the Dec build gets here it will be 6months old that’s if it leaves in the next three weeks.

Really??

Mine was made 12-12-22 and delivered 13-04-2023. 4 months and a day after production. Sat somewhere in Japan for most of that time.
I’ve had October 2022 and February 2023 as proposed delivery dates along the way (at least in writing).
If you are keen for a Z, keep waiting, it’ll arrive.

Was driving past the other nearish dealer last week and saw they had a yellow car in.

Had time today so went back in to have look.
And it was a customer proto just in.

the yellow is nice. But think personally the blue works more for me.

but damn those proto wheels are sooo much nicer than the plain black ones pop much better and have nice shadows/reflection unlike the black ones that just vanish.

wonder what a set of those will be at ACM in 3-4 years.

Yes they are sweet. I am looking for a set of Proto wheels or bronze TE37s
If anyone in South East Queensland wants to offload a set, PM me please

Might have been mine in for tint and ceramic coating. The Proto wheels are gorgeous

Two points:
1. Can confirm. The blue is amazing.
2. Love the bronze wheels. Saw them on a proto spec here in the US and they should be an option (not that Nissan really does options in the US).

mate we don't even get the kickplates and such that you guys get.

this is our list of avalible options

Same, no update. Not expecting anything as it didn't look like many boats were scheduled at the moment. Personal guess is July onwards. Hopefully the cars are being kept undercover or it'll be clay bar time when they finally arrive!

When it finally arrives its going straight in to get ceramic coated and tinted and then I'll drive it home.

Z1 performance spring sale ends 3rd May, if anyone was looking at something not much time left to order.

So all this talk of build and delivery dates made me go and check mine for the build date which I hadn’t even looked at. Does anybody know where the compliance plate is on these things? I can find a VIN sticker but it doesn’t have a build date on it.

*according to my final order paperwork Build date was 1 December 2022. March 23 compliance. Took delivery 4 April.

No idea….but the dealer should still have the info.
On another note word on Facebook is there is now a ship on its way….so some of you guys should be getting your cars soon

 

[peter]

Hearing more rumours about more production delays stating that if you have not yet been allocated a car yet that delivery will now be approx mid 2024.
Have seen this on fb and also two dealers state virtually the same news.

 

[loudsx]

yeah dealers will say nearly anything.
the principle (not the one I normally deal with) when test drivesaid there were 4000 orders in....

so a dealer saying to some-one oh your really lucky you got to deal with us as else you would be waiting till mid 2024..I take with a grain of salt
