New Z, color question

JF450 · 11-16-2014, 10:04 PM

So I bought this 2014 about 2 months ago from my local Nissan dealership. I just noticed going through my papers that they put the paint code as KAD which is Gun Metallic. But it's obvious that it's Brilliant Silver (K23).

My first Z car

Whatever, someone screwed up the paint code, but that's not what is bothering me. I just noticed that Brilliant Silver is not a color available in Canada for the 2013-2014 Z. I checked the door sticker and it shows up as K23 and the VIN number matches with what is on my papers.

I guess now i'm wondering how I ended up with a Z in a color that isn't available where I live. I will probably be going back to the dealership and ask them about that.

That ever happen to anyone here?

Are you sure it's not available? The CA website shows a silver car

JF450 · 11-16-2014, 10:45 PM

Yeah the picture shows a silver car, but if you build one brilliant silver is not an option.

I also found this list for Canadian Z colors:

https://ca.autos.yahoo.com/nissan/37...co/colors.html

I also checked our canadian auto trader website and can't find a Z coupe in silver either.

If you're talking about gun metallic? That's grey, not silver.

I don't trust Yahoo... And weird, you can choose BS only on the Nismo... I kinda assume this is a Nissan glitch, or they discontinued it for 2015?

Plenty... Well a few silver Candia cars in all years:

Yes 2009-2012 the color was available, but not 2013-2014.

Here is the brochure for a 2014 in Canada:
