I just ordered my Z today.. some thoughts..

MadMaX

just ordered z370 kad color, Mt sport pack, I was reading at the forum that the new Z comes with standard oil cooler and instead of 6 disk changer it will be with an hard drive.

now, the isuee is that the supplier got the car about 2-3 months ago and due to regeltions i asked the car to be released in 01/12 so it will consider as 2012car.

how can i tell if the oil cooler comes with the car? i know the stereo comes with the 6 disk changer, does all new Z comes with hardrive? do you think that a car that is not runing for some months can go worng on something ?

by the way.. the Z cost in Israel 101,000$ so be happy that your govrement is not charging from you so many taxes!!

Thanks for any replay ..eZ

.........just because the car is released in 2012, does not make it a 2012. it will only have an oil cooler if Nissan BUILT it as a 2012.

congratz though

the VIN is different from an American VIN. normally the 8th to last character is the year, 2011 = B 2012 = C, but yours has a U, so I cant

sorry dude

like you see no model year.

My guess (and just a guess) is that if the supplier got the car 2-3 months ago, and you figure a month transit time, you're looking at a build date of prior to August - which would make it a 2011 since they didn't start up production on the Z until end of August / beginning of September (from what I can deduce).

thanks for replaying,I did not fully understood how you come to that.
must say that supplier said it's only stocked for 2-3 months, so what you said make sense.

Changed the order for 2012 Z , car will arrive end of 12/2011.

I got a call from my salesman last Saturday letting me know that my 2012 370Z will be in production in December, and will arrive in February, next i'll be getting my VIN. Nissan officially accepted my order on 11/04/2011, keep in mind i gave my dealership a deposit on 9/2/2011. It's all good though, atleast i don't have to keep guessing when she'll arrive, i have a little comfort now, and it pays to have plenty of patience like i'm known for having.

I had a hard time waiting the month that mine kept getting delayed.

The Z costs the equivalent of $101,000 U.S. dollars in Israel?

Why did it take so long for the order to go through? I made my order 9/7/2011. Dealer didn't ask for a deposit and my order form says production month was 10/2011 with an ETA of 12/2011
