Hands Up all the Aussies

[ZillaZ]

And, even in states where a front plate is required, enforcement may be lax, so if you're willing to take the risk...

The right turn on red thing can be fun. The Z is easily able to accelerate up to the speed of oncoming traffic.

C'mon over!

Yeah I know plenty of people in other states where it is "required" and never been pulled over. Figure it's only cops who haven't met their quota for tickets that week or really bored ones that would actually pull someone over for it.

As far as the right turns on red I am pretty sure I have made people *gasp* when I pull out in front of them then they sigh of relief when I GO!

I work for a US company so they have "suggested" it many a time, I have done all I can to avoid.

mainly as our offices are in Utah, nope it snows.
or San Francisco Bay area, everything is too expensive and screw that traffic.

if I could do it remote and be somewhere like Tuscan maybe, but if I'm remote anyhow they might as well leave me in AU and pay me less.

Have we got a list of VIN’s so see who has the earlier build in Australia?

I've got a list of Zs in Qld. A couple are the press cars from the launch which are pretty low / early VINs

Another recall.. this time incorrect routing of wiring harness. 822 VINs in here from 2022-2023.

So 822 cars have been sold here in Aus? Plus the ones after 2023 into this year.

5000 or so have been sold in Japan to date.

I've seen 3 or so Nismos in the Ferntree Gully dealership. Not soo much of the performance models, unless they were hidden somewhere

Mines on the lsit so the 2024 cars are included in this.

the last VIN on the list has the same compliance date as mine March 24 so guessing the batch mine came over in was the last to have the issue.

doing some hand scanning on vicroads site:
JN1GBAZ34A0220245
Compliend in May 2024 is not on the list.


from what I can gather the ones:

JN1GBAZ34A0200XXX
are MY22/MY23

JN1GBAZ34A0220XXX
are the MY24 cars plus Nismo's

 

[loudsx]

OK this is weird

JN1GBAZ34A0220288 is the highest VIN I can find registered in Vicroads
complied in 05/2024

but JN1GBAZ34A0220281 which is 7 lower was complied in 09/2024 and registered 2 days ago.

Maybe this one: https://flowbrackets.com.au/products/vic-nsw-qld-tas-usa-plate-number-plate-bracket

A similar bracket and the 3D printed mounts in my signature below allowed me to mount mine to the side.

I'm looking for a low profile center mount. Maybe not possible with the Z.

You can just cut up the original, slice it down to just the mounting points. @Mud has done similar

G'day guys and gals.
SEQ here, Brissy northside. Picked up my Proto in October (village motor Northlakes had one as a demonstrator with 34km on the clock). Very happy so far, but they really do need an exhaust.

Only "Mods" i have done is the flow bracket kit. Not cheap, but very nicely made
https://flowbrackets.com.au/products/nissan-400z-number-plate-holder-plinth-front

Some custom plates....(which I've ordered twice because I assumed a normal size plate would fit on the back well.....it doesn't, so now it's dual slim line)

And some cheesy floor mats on Black friday sales from FITMYCAR so I don't trash the factory ones

The Z is an absolute Behemoth compared to an MX5
