Possibly late arrival of 370Z's to US shores?

Fairladycan · 04-15-2011, 05:05 PM

yah mine had 102km when I picked it up, but don't care, I LOVE IT.

Whats that I see, dust!!

Questions for you;
1. what does your votage meter sit at? Mine has been at 14.5 all the time. I find that a little high but the manual said between 11 -15.
2. Although it will never see snow, I got it undercoated, makes it quieter and yes, I got the 3M as well, Did you receive a paper (certificate) with the 3M?
3. One thing I'm disappointed in is that you can't make a call with the top down. You can receive but not make a call.

I have about 705km now!

1. ya, its like 14.5
2. no paperwork...but i do have an email from them! ill hold on to it!
3. i am as well "disappointed" about the fact you cant make a call with the top down! i think you can enter a number in the nav system...you just cant say it...but unsure?

Fairladycan · 04-20-2011, 03:27 PM

You are correct. When the top is down you can do the call through the nav system, what a pain. I can see many accidents happening, individuals reaching over to make a call, .....not good.
Now all we need is some good weather!

looks like Z production is definitely resumed

here are a few pics during radiation scanning at the ports

AlphaSnacks · 04-24-2011, 02:06 AM

It's possible those were just a handful of vehicles that weren't destroyed.

MC · 04-24-2011, 02:53 AM

Its possible..although these shots just came from a Japanese press release..I'm guessing these are very recent..

My car is somewhere in those pics. Gun Metallic Sport.

well i guess that means that alot of these dealers that are nervous about new shipments of Nissans can put their fears to rest. Also glad to see that the people of Japan are getting back up on their feet even with the still looming nuclear crisis.

On other news, Nissan dealers in California wants to play that "due to Japan earthquake, parts and cars will be a less available" excuse on anyone buying a car over the summer months.

From what I've read in the news, that is a true and correct statement.

I'd like to say thats with the exception of Fontana Nissan, they were honest with me and said that there may be a delay in ordering my Z, but that due to them being the #1 Z dealer in the US they may have a little more power to get Z's from Nissan and that they would do their best to get it ordered for me by the beginning of May. oh and also most of their Z's that they have on their lot are still marked the same price as before the disaster in Japan.
