Hi All,

Have just put our order in for a Carbon Silver 370. Haven't confirmed delivery date yet but imagine from initial discussions it will be 8-12 weeks.

Cheers,

Stu

That's great Stu, post pics when your Z arrives. Welcome aboard! :tup:

same as me mate - no idea of date... same colour too! :) can't wait! :driving:

I really am lucky then, that my Colour was in stock.

I dont think i would have the patience to wait up to 3 months. I would go friggin crazy big time LOL.

Although it's great news Stu and bet you cant wait to get you hands on it and go for that first drive.

if they come back with list of alternative colours that are available I may change my mind!!! lol....

Me too! I am over this waiting game....pfffftt

Congrats - the race is on to see who gets their car first.

Planned Delivery Date for mine is 31 August. Whoo hooo

congratz! pictures upon arrival please :D

oh thats my b-day hahaha

I haven't even got a delivery date.... am getting on the phone to the dealer today!

I think Perth being so remote has its drawbacks... I placed my order on the 13th June, be interesting to see if I get it after....


damn them and their waiting!!! grrrrrrrrrrrr

goes without saying mate! :)

I spoke to soon:

Revised Delivery Date is now end of September.:mad:

Going to be a looooooong wait.

Ouch! unlucky dude.

DAMN!!!! is that cos ur in Adelaide??? surely they are coming in sooner.... maybe they just said that so you don't get too upset if it comes a few weeks later than the original august date...

Ah wells we cant complain, when my girlfriend bought her civic, she had to wait exactly 3 months for it to come in... It hadn't even been built yet....

My girlfriend had to wait 6 months for her Fiat 500.
That 6 months turned into 7 months.

The dealer mentioned that all the presold cars have been accounted for so mine would be built in the coming weeks and will be one of the last to come to Australia this year. He mentioned the next one after this would be in January 2010. I'm guessing other colours might be fine but not the 'Carbon Silver' that I've ordered.

Oh well, gives me time to sell my STI

Man that is really rough having to wait that long. As the saying goes "Good things come to those who wait", mind you that probably doesn't help much at the moment.

Are you sure your dealer cant get one from another dealer. I only ask as there is some out there available still. The other reason i ask, is when i was looking at BMW's they where happy to get one from another dealer if it got the SALE.

Again sorry to hear you have to wait so long mate.

Edit - You wont regret getting rid of the STI for the Z. I cant believe how good the Z feels compared to my now old STI.

I saw a Silver at Moorooka in Brisbane on the lot last week? Wasnt sold! It was a manual. They had a black Auto as well.

Yeah - they did say if they can get another one obviously the wait will be reduced. Fingers crossed.

I still won't forget after the test drive in the Z how I got back into the STI and it felt strange. Don't get me wrong the STI is great but the Z felt soooo much better.

how come Nismostu?!?

still waiting for an exact date - have been promised weekly calls from the dealer... best guess was sept - not even start or end or whatever....

grrrrrrrr..... I hate this waiting lark! :( just wanna get my car now! :driving:

I ordered nearly 2 weeks ago and my dealer was meant to get back to me about whether he could get a yellow manual from another dealer or not. My estimated delivery date was september. I *hope* he has put the order in! I don't like having to chase up the dealer like this. They should call me, not the other way around!

exactly....

I ordered mine on 13/6 - surely they must have some idea... or at least I would have liked to have thought! :shakes head:

Not good that the dealers have left you waiting. To be honest I've chased my dealer a bit but they have been good so far. Disappointed they've extended the date by a month but it's not too bad.

Definitely feel your pain though - I'm dying to get behind the wheel. Almost tempted to go to another dealer just to test drive again to get my fix of Z.

Cheers,

Stu

yeah know what you mean.,,
spotted first 370z on the road on sat morning... lucky git! ;)

so much for my dealer ringing me every week... tempted to ring him again but prob wont do any good whatsoever....

Hey Stu, just joined the forum
Just out of curiosity, which Nissan dealer did you go to?
Got mine from Main North, Carbon Silver 6MT back 2nd week of June
Paid deposit b4 I test drove it, Just had the colour to choose when it was released in May
Had to wait about a month, only after quite a bit of pressure on the poor salesperson

Hey,

Congrats on the purchase - that was a good turn around from driving to delivery. I'm getting mine through Lakeside Nissan. They've been really good so far. Just spewin I have to wait until end of September for it to arrive.

Wow - same colour as me - cool. Look forward to catching up for a cruise and maybe a photo shoot when mine arrives. I've only seen one 370 on the road in Adelaide and it was actually a Carbon Silver on Portrush Road - but not sure if that was you.

I'm up Golden Grove way - how about you?

Cheers,

Stu

Fellow South Aussie
 

Thank god you didn't order via Nissan Unley(hopeless)

Guess you may have seen me; I do live off Portrush Rd. Good choice of colour mate.

I have to say, I suggested to Main North Nissan to bring in a yellow or blue as their demo model, and if I liked it I'll take it off them. But since I saw the carbon silver, never second guessed since.

I guess that if customer service is good for you, then there's no reason to "inflame" the situation. I chased my salesperson almost weekly (poor Jason), not because he was lazy or slow, but just because I wanted to avoid getting placed on the waiting list for next shipment.

Jason (salesperson) told me later he snapped up my C. silver 370z from Unley Nissan before they got it as their demo unit (sweet revenge). Oh btw, should clear up why I dislike Unley Nissan so much... walked in around third week of April to see if Unley Nissan had any details of the 370z, totally got treated like I was not going to afford it (was in T-shirt, shorts and thongs). Then when I asked to be placed on a callback list when pre-ordering commenced, the salesperson told me to "come back later".

Hang in there mate, it's worth the wait. When it gets here, we'll organise a cruise or something.

Wow - not good that you got the run around. Poor customer service really pisses me off.

I cannot believe how slowly time is going - I am counting down the sleeps until mine arrives. I think i've seen just about every youtube clip of anything to do with the Z.

Look forward to catching up.

I know what you're going through buddy, went through the same ****.
Still, find myself watching youtube videos of the car almost everyday.

I just rang the dealer and have confirmed a 'Stock number' for my Z (whooo hoooo) - therefore it has been built but I'm still looking at end of September for delivery.

He mentioned that Nissan had totally underestimated the sales they'd have in Australia. Hence the wait. He has two other customers that will be waiting until November for theirs. Poor buggers.

Ah man that sucks you have to wait that long knowing that we are enjoying:p ours:driving: already (sry bout that). The good thing is that at least you now have a much more solid delivery date.

Not sure about Nissan Aus under estimating though. It does seem that some dealers are able to get cars quicker than others also.

Bring on September my friend. Hopefully some of us will have some mods done by then also:tup:

Jeepers I’m excited – I think I need to go for a run around the building.

Nissan just called to say they’ve found me a 370Z that is currently on a boat over to Australia (Carbon Silver 6MT).

It arrives in Aus on the 15th August. Then Nissan here get it on the 25th and they only need 3 or so days to get it ready for me.

This means I don’t have to wait until 30 September like I was originally told.

I should have it before end of August – whoooooo hooooooooo.

Now I have to hurry up and sell the STI.

Woohoo Stu,
may get to cruise with u sooner than later.

That is awesome news nis'. It's gotta be a great feeling knowing that you are getting you car a lot earlier than previously thought mate.

Just hope you get a good price on your STI. I was pretty lucky IMHO on my trade in price I got for my MY04 STI.

Hey Nismostu I think yours is on the same boat as mine ;-)

I think we need to fit some big fat turbos on that boat so that our cars get here faster.

Yeah trade in figure Nissan gave me on the STI was pretty poor. So am I'm really hoping that I can sell privately - I've had a few offers but I've knocked them back as I though I had an 8 to 9 week wait. But now I'll accept any reasonable offer.

that is great news mate! :)

We just went down to the dealer and saw our car as it arrived on Thursday I think, tinting has been done. So we'll be picking it up on Wednesday. I can't believe how excited I am. Going to be 4 sleepless nights ahead.:tup:



woooo hoooooo

Awesome Stu!
SA cruise soon

Sweet, Stu big day today!! haha what else did you get done from the dealer, just tint? I gotta tint and put some reverse sensor on mine soon as well, waiting for the funds to build up again haha 1K service coming up, gotta get the paint and interior treatment then.. kicking myself for not getting it when i got the car.

SA Cruise Soon!! Can't Wait!!
