My fathers business was involved with the process of getting MRE's to Katrina victims in NO after the disaster, we only managed to get 2 trucks out before we werent allowed to send more due to excuses like Congestion and lack of organization/planning for where they were going to go. My friend runs his own trucking company and he was trying to send trucks with donated items down but was not allowed due to similar reasons. It was a huge cluster F*(k and the people in charge couldnt get it organized for relief to get there. but then also look on the flip side, (yourself excluded from this) but there are many a story of Katrina victims taking advantage of relief efforts / funding such as buying ridiculous items. They were spending there money on non essentials. Alot of people were faking being katrina victims to get in on the funds too. So, sorry you went through that man, my neighbor fled from there as well and they lost everything including 2 kids. But just dont think that people didnt care or didnt try to help. There is a system in place and thats what failed. So dont let that stop you from trying to help others who could now use the help. |

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!

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!

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.

the problem with the Zs is not just the inventory that was damaged at the ports... and not just that the plant was down for 2 weeks... its the VQ engine situation.. that plant is still down last i heard..
