find the next Nissan dealer on the block. Here's what should happen:
1. You hang around a z
2. Greeter asks you if u want to talk to someone
3. u say u want base, they have u test drive an upgrade - u feel cool, they hope to upsell
4. U say thx, be back in Jan, I like [insert color here]
5. They have a loyal customer and sell u the gt-r when the day comes to cash out your 401k (you're young, the market will cycle by then)

lol...well if only C.C. had more than one family owned Nissan Ed hicks also owns the MB dealership....conveniently next to the nissan. Funny thing is I was hanging around the Z vert....but no one could see me since they had this big "30 min sale" sticker on their window.

totally agree. the dealership is already setting the OP up for a kill.
Walk away from them.
A couple of tips. Walk in with confidence. Be polite but be upfront. As soon as there is a wait more than 2 min. Start to walk out. Trust me, they won't let u go. And wen they run the story bout they need ya paperwork. U tell em " I'm not runnin u info till I know this is the vehicle I want for sure, and to know that. I need a test drive" one of 2 things will happen. They will stick by there guns or suddenly have a change in policy. If they stick. U walk. If not? U drive. The more confident u r the more they cooperate.
Volume dealers are the worse. Its always politics and long waits. And since salesguys make a short commission. They have to run interest rate schemes, short bidding your trades and making u buy @ or above msrp. They mainly only cut u deals on demo's and cars sittin there 45 days or more. They r also known for not making u aware of rebates. And there's no advertised rebates on Z's so u might want to check the internet and check to see if there's any dealerships offering rebates on Z? If there are. Call them n find out if there rebate is in house or corporate. That way when u walk into a dealership. U can put it on blast that u kno bout the rebate after u make ur deal. That way, they gotta cut off from up top on the negotiated price n not on the price they want. That's my advice.
Hope if its of some use.
