Nagoya is considerably south of Tokyo (my Mom's family is near there), and there doesn't seem to be any issues that far south.

STATEMENT NO. 4 REGARDING STATUS OF JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE AND IMPACT ON NISSAN AMERICAS OPERATIONS

Nissan Americas continues to make progress in assessing the operational impact from the Japanese earthquake and is putting countermeasures in place to address business needs. The following statement will serve as an update that is current as of today’s date. As needed Nissan Americas will continue to provide routine updates.

Facilities/Production
Nissan Americas manufacturing operations intend to follow a normal production schedule through at least April 1. The supply chain is being continuously assessed and Nissan’s teams are working to limit any potential for component shortages. Another update will be provided next month.
We are currently studying the potential for our Decherd, TN engine plant to supply VQ V-6 engines to Japan to replace lost production from the Iwaki engine plant. No decisions have been made at this time.
Nissan LEAF vehicle and battery production resumed at the Oppama assembly and Zama battery plants on Thursday, March 24. The ability to sustain production will depend to a large degree on the frequency of rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages.
Nissan’s operations in Mexico, Canada and Brazil do not expect to be impacted by any supply or production constraints at this time.
Vehicle Stock / May Ordering
Nissan brand has visibility of more than 260,000 units in dealer stock, at port or in transit from Japan while Infiniti brand is operating with more than 35,000 units of availability. These are both healthy stock situations and better than at the same point last year.
Nissan and Infiniti retailers are being notified today that the company will follow a normal schedule for May ordering. All customer and dealer vehicle orders will be processed without delay and dealers will see no interruption in their ability to order Nissan or Infiniti vehicles.
“Our supply chain teams in Japan and America continue to work relentlessly to resolve the bottlenecks as they appear, so that our manufacturing operations have an uninterrupted activity to support market needs,” said Carlos Tavares, chairman, Nissan Americas.

I guess my concern is that my order was submitted on Feb. 3rd and I haven't a clue when I will get it, although I'm sure Nissan Japan is doing all that is possible to get their production schedules back in order. Still, I soooooo can't wait to get my new Z!

poorazn · 03-25-2011, 08:54 AM

So whats this mean? Nissan Americas May ordering is on track? Does that have any relation to 370Z ordering (made in Japan)?

jazz · 03-25-2011, 10:51 AM

nissan canceled my order...they do not see getting any 370z until the fall.

if you want one...you need to jump on what is at the dealers.

WHOA! That totally blows! I've had mine on order for 2 months, I sure hope they don't cancel mine! I called the dealer right after I saw your message and he freaked, said he has 4 on order and will call back and let me know.

jazz · 03-25-2011, 12:57 PM

MC · 03-25-2011, 01:22 PM

Bodytechz · 03-25-2011, 01:51 PM

Well, just talked to my dealer and yep, all 370z orders are cancelled. My dealer is going to look around and see what he can find. Of course, he doesn't want to lose a sale. But damn, I'm so bummed, I was so looking forward to getting my PW Z touring w/persimmon, sports, NAV ugh!

Just go buy a used one or in stock one, might have to fly out to get one but you will have a Z.

I placed my order on January 7th. Was called on Monday, and told that the production was starting this week. I asked when will it be delivered...... I was told end of June first part of July. No other news from the dealer. I think I will call them to see if the order was cancelled.
