get them to hook you up with extended warranty for causing you the extra delay. Or some other sort of goody.

zefaulter 06-20-2013 05:01 PM

I remember your thread about the shady dealer. As unfortunate as it is, I'd much rather deal with your dealer than those daytime robbers aka German star motors. I learned my lesson. Hope you get your car soon.
If you end up removing the stock fog I'll take that one... Just let me know which one you don't want :)

Did you buy from german star? I looked at a 40th and a 2011 when I was looking around but decided against it after reading some interesting reviews.

Amuse370z 06-20-2013 07:33 PM

I'm visiting other dealers and trying to piece together whats going with my car. I think I should be okay considering how I received my vin number. I just have to wait it out.

The other dealer is acting like a vulture, trying to steal my business. I can get one in the specs I want but will have to pay a little more to have it delivered from another province OR I can get a Grey with sport package for the same price and have it in a day, either way, they can't beat the price that I originally paid.

However, I found out 2 interesting things.
1. The 2013 models are no longer being produced. The 2014s just started.
2. Canada has a cash incentive going on for 2013 models. (At the very least $3500 for Zs, don't know the real amount) I'm going to look into this more, and hopefully get the incentive too when my car arrives, for now I'm going to keep it hush hush with my dealer.

Apparently they're already selling the car to me for minimal profit, they couldn't care less if they lost my business. (No other dealers can match it, I straight up said if you can even beat them by $1 I'll give you my business)

Besides, they could sell the car easily in this nice weather, with a higher price tag too. There were 2 more in other provinces with the exact specs as me a month ago, I asked again today and they're both gone.

I don't have any leverage.

the 2013 and 2014 are the same tho. if they're willing to give you the colour you want with the options you want then id take it
iirc you wanted white sport package no dvd?

zefaulter 06-21-2013 08:13 AM

I would take a 2014 just because it will hold its value a little better

Base pearl white no sport package (Rather just purchase the Akebonos for $2k and use the leftover $2k for my TE37SL)

The main issue with the '14 is that I'm going to have to wait another 3 months to factory order one, my options are:

1. Wait patiently for my '13 to come in, despite the poor customer service.
2. Order a 2014 at another dealer and pay more + wait 3 months.
3. Get a '13 delivered from Winnipeg (meaning extra $$$$)
4. Grey + sport package '13 that is available right now (again, will cost more and not the colour I want)

:shakes head:

zefaulter 06-21-2013 02:46 PM

The Grey is from Ajax?

Edit: FYI, Ajax Nissan has a non-sport grey. I don't know which one you were referring to

**stupid app, lol... I thought I was editing

Ire 06-22-2013 12:38 AM

colour is very important. do not compromise on colour.
that said, waiting another three months means summer is over and you're gonna want to drive it in the shitty weather. I got mine in october and i drove loved it so much i drove it till snow hit the ground. At least it taught me how to drive with VDC off lmao

no rain/dry roads = no VDC (VDC OFF)

rain/very cold = VDC ON

LOL ya its fun to slide the a$$ end around and/or launch it off the line :tup:

zefaulter 06-24-2013 10:43 AM

What's the plan for July 1st? :D

alcheng 06-24-2013 06:25 PM

I have planned this route in Coburg area and thinking we can do this route on the 1st July:

Coburg Cruise

The Red color is the original route, and the two green are optional.

Let me know what do you guys think, I am always good for a cruise. :tup:

zefaulter 06-24-2013 10:17 PM

The original route is great! Looks like we have to be careful with our speed in some areas if you know what I mean

MrSir 06-24-2013 10:20 PM

i probably wont be able to make it, im having problems with the AEM CAIs, i need to fix them and dyno tune the car before going on another spirited driving jurney

Marcusz 06-24-2013 10:36 PM

Im gonna try to make this one,im hoping to have my new hood by then?

One of the green route will replace a section of the red route, and the green route has more corners, so it's more exciting

the 2nd green route is a section of 401, which replace a section of long straight in city. :driving:

I am still waiting to see how many of us can go, so far nobody can give a definite answer....






The thing is, 1st Jul is next Monday, and everyone is saying "maybe...."

I won't call out a cruise if the reply is "maybe" thus nobody is going to commit then eventually nobody will show up.

LMBmikeZ 06-25-2013 05:06 AM

Sorry Alex but I will definitely not be coming :shakes head: unfortunately just to get to the start of the cruise and back to my house would be probably close to 6 1/2 hours round trip not even taking Canada Day traffic into consideration then add in the time for the meet/cruise :thumbsdown:

I hope you guys still have a good turn out and get some good pics!

zefaulter 06-25-2013 05:28 AM

Ya man, it doesn't make sense for you to drive that far. I personally wouldn't do it if I wasn't in Ajax.

alcheng, I'm game :tup: let's see who else is going. If GaleForce doesn't make it, this cruise is doomed

MrSir 06-25-2013 07:55 AM

@alcheng
The ETI boxes that hook up to the MAFs on the CAI are malfunctioning and are making my engine stutter randomly, cutting off throttle and ****. Something like the limp mode, except its random and doesn't really limit to 2500rpm. Im going to be cutting them out and hooking the MAFs directly, enough of this AEM electronicly tuned bs. Aperently they are having a huge problem with these on all their products that have them, its not just the 370z ones. Ones i hook them up directly ill definitely need a dyno tune, cuz i garantee you im going to be running super lean. AEMs unlike other CAIs are not narrower near the MAFs, they are the full 3" pipe all around. So ill probably get a check engine light too. Either way im waiting on the AFR gauge to get here, and then im cutting this **** out and taking the car to Sasha at OnPoint Dyno (formerly SG-Motorsports) to tune it.

zefaulter 06-25-2013 02:56 PM

That sucks man

nothingtodo 06-25-2013 03:58 PM

yo alcheng what time is the cruise and are we meeting up for lunch like last time? anyways i am game for the cruise.

Update: took alot of haggling but I got my $3500 incentive on top of my original OTD price. My car is also on the lot of the dealership, I'll be picking her up within the next few days.

I'm real happy right now. :happydance::happydance::happydance:

(I guess the chances of me getting TE37SL have dramatically increased too.)

I picked her up today, my jaw dropped when I saw her all fresh and clean with the pearl white shining in the sun. She only had 5km when I picked her up, I'm already at 50km right now. Oh, I made them give me the cash incentive for the before tax price, so I got an extra $500 too.

I'm installing a OEM spoiler and 15% tints by the end of this week. The KWV3/TE37SL/Motordyne E370/Evo-R foglight/illuminated kickplates will come after, I'm in no hurry at the moment but this is the plan for this year.

:tup::tup::tup:

They whole dealership seemd pretty pissed off they couldn't scam me. Bunch of sleezy people. Its a large dealer too incase you guys are wondering, the biggest if I'm not mistaken, its W... Nissan.

I'll come out real soon, just give me a little more time getting used to driving it. I'm pretty nervous right now, reversing is a bitch and so is the blind spots.

How do you guys switch lanes with confidence? No matter how I adjust the mirrors, there are spots where cars can hide from it. I've only driven sedans and my bro's Gencoupe, blind spots were never an issue, especially if I turn my head to check.

alcheng 06-27-2013 02:26 AM

Guys,

I would like to setup the cruise on the 1st Jul.

However, looks like we only have 3 participates so far

1) alcheng
2) nothingtodo
3) zefaulter


I will PM Galeforce to see if he is up for a cruise on that day, but I remember he is also not sure about it too.


It's not much fun if there's only couple cars participate.


Anyway, to be honest, kinda disappointed but there's always a next time.





If we have at least 4 or more, the cruise is on, if less than 4, I will give it a pass. :(
