I mean this with all due respect but you ordered something from a dealer that is coming from the factory/Japan. When anyone says 8-12 week or an eta like that it's an approx could be 14 weeks or 7 weeks when dealing with oversea containers. I did the same with my Z ordered in March 2010 and received it in June 2010. Coming from the factory don't think there is a way of getting a VIN# in advance so can't blame the dealer for that.

Also keep in mind depending on what type Z (color,options) you ordered if they have truly ordered one in for you from the factory it is hard to blame the dealer for not coughing up the cost now to ship you the same one from across the country with a possibility of getting stuck with 2 of the same cars.

The dealer does sound like they are shady and from what you have said without a doubt didn't handle/info you correctly but patience is a good think when ordering something that eta's are ~3months
