Ordered a 370Z Today!

370er

Ellz - I'm from Traralgon which is about 1 hour 40 mins from Melbourne. The good thing about living here is that my Z will be very unique. Particularly because I got Chicane Yellow. The dealer had a yellow auto as demo but some vet brought it the other week. I ordered a yellow manual. I better take a few manual driving lessons

nismostu - I'm a clean freak also and think i'd look after it enough not to need this extra protection. I think I will get them to tint the windows and i'll buy the mats at a later time. Thankfully this stuff can be added after I pay for the car to avoid LCT on these things.

I actually own an Impreza RX, but it looks like an Sti :P It's a really nice limited edition blue and will go nicely in the garage with my yellow Z. It's a great car and i'm going to keep it for the practicality reasons.

MrBMW - Congrats! I look forward to seeing some pics of your Z... and same goes for everyone else

It's good to see more people replying here ... this forum has been invaluable. That's another advantage of owning a Z over some other cars I was looking at - the support in the forums is very helpful.

irishboy - I was also gutted we didn't get the 19s, as you all probably know from my other posts. I still plan to buy them from ebay or something if I get the chance but they are still hard to come by at the moment.

MrBMW

I thought the same. The 19's look "HOT" as in comparison. Two issues for me though. The price of the tyres on the 19's is a lot more by comparison, as it's a fairly odd size for us. Where as the 18's or even if they were 20's are far more common and therefore cheaper.

I didn't do tints, as the first offer was $595 (I think, to exited about car to remember exactly) and didn't really try to bargain.

Same here, cant wait for more Aussies (QLD's for me) to join and even meet up one day.

Come to QLD mate for a visit, i'll be happy to teach you or let you have a blast or 2.

WOuld you be getting the Tint later as well, as thats the only way I can you getting around the LCT. Plus I suppose if you wanted to darker than legal (35% isn't it) you would have to after market. I would get the little window behind B-Piller a lot darker. Each to their own also.

Thanks. I have now added an Album for myself and reckon we all should when you get your cars. So we can all drool over them.

sounds like a great idea to me!!

maybe if we pestered nissan they could include it as an option?? we're paying more than twice the price of the US and getting less for it!

saw on the options page that came with the brochure that a reverse pack is offered, but strangely the dealer said the only options were paint colour and gearbox....

hmmmmmmmmmm......

will get on to them soon to see where my car is - they must have some idea surely you'd think!

MrBMW

There is an option for Reverse Park sensors for us in Australia. I didnt worry about them for obvious reasons LOL. I think i stll have the options brochure somewhere in my paperwork, might scan it and put that up.

As for paying twice as much i agree. Although we do get more than the US guys. For them to get our cars if i'm correct they have to tick basically EVERY option box. The only real differences is they get 19's we dont. They get PROPER iPod connection, we get AV jacks . We get rear windscreen wipers they dont.

Also as pointed out to me in my other thread that i posted in the new owners section in the main part of the forum, there are those little BUMPS under the headlights, which are washers.

From my dealer "They are headlight washers every 5 times you rinse your windscreen (when your headlights are ON) they will open and squirt soapy water on your headlights !"

i saw it - but when I asked the salesman - only options were colour and gearbox type...

just goes to show how little they know about their product hey!

how much was your camera setup MRBMW - looks like a nice setup to me!

MrBMW

On the Car invoice the price is written up as $600. To be honest whether that is the "TRUE" price is another thing. I can only really say that I am very happy with my overall price of the car.

I suppose someone who has had a Reverse Camera installed on another car whether the $600 would be a good price or not.

...and we also get electric "fold-in" mirrors and they're heated which apparently the US don't get. There's definitely pros and cons.

irishboy

be useful for all the frost we dont get in Perth!

still want the 19" wheels! lol.....

camera is something I also want now scott!
