earthquake in japan
 

hey, any1 hear if the 370 line was hit in the earthquake? as i type my car is on the line...del date end of april?? do you think i should fear that my car has incurred damage?

I'm sure they won't give you a damaged Z, but expect a delay for sure.

id say almost all of them are damaged, and you can expect delays.

sorry man

top left corner is 370z's....the only ones not damaged..lol

With an earthquake as powerful as the one they had, you can be sure all of the cars on that "lot" are damaged. Wether it be internally or externally, I'm sure all of those cards will be scrapped.

Why couldn't it be a Ford or Chevy?

Cuz those are built on this side of the planet. :roflpuke2:

Look again.

^Yup, there look to be a couple dozen totaled Zs there. An earthquake will not damage a car, it is the water damage to the body and interior that will kill these 370zs.

^ those are all water damaged. looks like rays will be dirt cheap now.

well i dont see or cant see any blue roadsters...my car was to hit the line end of feb start of march...lol my car could be in that lot! ieee

meh nothing major, its only a Z..lol

5.0 would have fought the tsunami.

and got slaughterd...lol

:roflpuke2: :icon18: :tup:

Thought this thread is about sympathy for people that died in Japan, instead it's about if the car is damaged !!

Way to be a downer.

You're in the wrong place. The one about people is here:

This thread and a few others are about people worrying about their newly ordered cars or JDM parts.

Read my mind exactly... I know there is the other thread in regards to the missing and/or deceased people who live there but man, in hindsight, a damaged 370z is NOTHING compared to the catastrophic damage that has taken place.

Like my local weather guy said... it's funny how we were all worried about some rivers and streams flooding because of ice jams and then to see the damage done to Japan, really puts things into perspective.

Just my :twocents:

PS. If your 370z did get damaged and causes you a delay, I do feel bad. Plus, I'm not sure why you had to order one from Japan anyway... there are left over 370z everywhere.

ahh, I wonder about the 12 GTR's .. I'm waiting for those to get here so I can get a 09 for 50k... Damn natural disasters.. ruining my life!!:shakes head::eekdance:

a hundred or so are already here..but they were all built in December and January ...



my car is a black edition which were supposed to be built this week... no idea if it was or not... one one hand i hope it wasnt and it wasnt sitting at port ..but on the other hand if it wasnt built... God knows when it will be now...

so no real good outcome...unless it was built but still at the factory..... even then with the ports messed up

i have no expectation of getting it in May now like i was supposed to

Time to ask for a free extended warranty or something in compensation for your wait.

na i wouldnt feel right doing that man... i mean it is what it is... they are going to try to get things back to normal as fast as possible its not anyones fault i dont feel they owe me for an act of God.....just a bad situation all over

I doubt they would care much about your personal situation. I guess that is my angle.

Thats the attitude that got America in the situation that it's in. The only way out of it is a country act on a whole. Selfishness:shakes head::shakes head:

I was talking about the dealership. Has nothing to do with the people who suffered in Japan's tragic catastrophe.

No, what got America in the situation it is in is being too giving to the lowest common denominator on our own soil, as well as trying to play "World Cop".

What other country in this world even has the opportunity to achieve both. Its not the opportunity, the ability, the obligation. Its the Will

Ah.

You can bet the personal suffering the Japanese are experiencing is going to have global effects. Such a disaster over there. Obviously personal safety and security are going to come before business is restored, and businesses that support the local economy are going to come before exports.

I don't think we'll see much coming out of Japan for awhile. We'll see a lot going in (aid, rescue support, etc).

i feel bad for the people of Japan, but when your spending your money the world revolves around you and no1 elts...60k in canada is not pennys.

my car was to be in end of april....bye bye...say hello to july

Hey everyone check out my thread I started for a link to Red Cross. I feel this will help alot.

Having lived in California my whole life, I have known this sort of earthquake disaster is possible here too. They also get the bonus of tsunami. I have tremendous sympathy for the folks of Japan. The tsunami here was four feet of tidal changes over a few minutes. Interesting but not dangerous.

Nissan, Toyota, Honda, have all shut down production to assess damage. Since 370's are made in Japan, anyone thinking about buying one might consider pulling the trigger.

It sucks what happened in japan, first and foremost to the people but also the economic impact it will have on there country(I.E. a part of that being all those new cars now totaled at the port) and the rest of the world as Japan trys to recover and get things going again.

Was at the Nissan Dealer today to put my down payment on a 2011z that was ordered last week for me. The dealer obviously hasnt heard anything yet about all of his orders. We agreed to talk again in a week. IT was originally scheduled to come in June- now that has all changed so I may need to re consider the whole transaction. Cayman S?

Obviously my heart goes out to all in Japan.

Not to push you away from getting a Cayman S but I bought my Z used in january. 5500miles, touring/spt model for 26,500. Why not consider getting a slightly used one that knocks off the new car price?

i looked for a new 2010 or slightly used 370z roadster auto in blue and could not find one...had to order...Nissan told me it would be the 1st blue roadster for 2011 and only the 2nd blue roadster in canada? not sure how true it is...

My 2011 z is not avail at any dealer so I had to order it. Since it was just last week- Im questioning if the order would still be delivered by summer.
Im guessing not?

Anyone else just order a z?

i did in feb...it was to hit the line end of feb start of march...unsure of how long it takes to build? del was to be mid to end of april, the dealer told me to look for delay and is unsure of how long...i just done want a car that is messed up. summer only lasts till sept and the car will sleep for the winter, hope del wont be end of summer or no point in getting it this year!

lol already spent over 10k on mods....BBK, wheels, exhaust and suspension...owell

I donated -- thanks for that :tiphat:
