got a letter from nissan today saying im geting a dvd soon before its relesed to the general public.

id imagine its " the run"

 

Got it today along with a 2 page brochure showing different magazine covers.

 

now we just have to wait for our dvd

 

THATS BETTER courtsey of perfectlyfrank MASTER PHOTO STRAIGHTENER

 

Every keeps on talkin about how they are getting all of this stuff from Nissan on the Z... did you have to order the car before it came out on the market... i mean like before august 27th-ish or if you ordered the car in general? because i ordered mine in november, and i havent seen anything yet... no conformation letter... gifts... or anything else for that matter! can someone please clear this up for me? thanks...

 

all the gifts have been for preorder customers so far.

i ordered in feb got it in sept

 

Me too, ordered 2/23 received 8/31.

 

Got it today. They expect delivery of the dvd by late January.

 

i havent gotten ANYTHING but a survey..
..
well correction.


i got the pack of playing cards and the pre-order booklet with those greyscale post card things..

but no Z:Lust then Love book, no Dvd. i aint bitchin' but hell. who are these lucky people with free goodies ! i want some!


i bet Nissan will have the DVD released prior to the LA car show..that one is one of the major west coast venues...

 

Almost all of the gifts were a part of the preorder process which began January 15th and ended in June, or a little longer since Nissan extended the process because the demand was so high. 6500 cars were planned to be preordered, over 7000 were actually sold and the offer ended in the summer.

You just ordered a new car in a normal process and you will get a new car when it arrives at your dealership. No gifts, party favors(sorry) or freebies that I know of except you will be getting one of the most exciting cars available. That would be good enough for me. Also, don't lament about no gifts, I waited 7 months and 26 days for my car, you will get yours in a much shorter timespan than us preorders did. I believe some are still waiting who ordered late in the process.

 

Is there any other way to get a hold of a copy of "the Run" dvd?

 

Tom & All,

I got the letter in the mail today too from Nissan.

Let me clarify this further- Aparently Nissan had a mis-print on the Monroney Label (window sticker) of early cars- The stickers incorrectly described the front brakes as having "dual-piston caliper(s)" Fact is, except for the Track model, all 350Z's have SINGLE piston front calipers.

Funny, I never noticed this, but sure enough, I checked my sticker and it had the error - FYI - my car was an early one - ordered on January 15th, delivered on September 9th - VIN ends in 390 I think....

Out of all the bitching and moaning around here, this was NEVER something people bitched and moaned about - ironic as I suspect we probably would have had the easiest legal claim w/ this error... The window sticker is stricly regulated... ...not that I personally would have made a stink about something like that had I realized...

In an effort to "CYA" on the above error, Nissan will be sending out "a DVD featuring a unique Z experience" - I wonder if they're going to send the DVD free to all owners, or just the folks w/ the window sticker error....I'm guessing they're talking about "The Run" DVD (trailer now available on www.z.com ) - but you never now. Of course I think all of us would have bought it anyway...

In addition, the letter came with a great insert that has quotes from all the articles that we've all read 100 times. I'll scan it if you really want me to.


So thanks for being honest, Nissan. I think you handled this one pretty well.

cool tom, which issue? can you get at the stands? i gotta get one of that copy. thx for the info.

 

only available through subscribtion that i know of


its the winter issue

you can buy back issues however

 

I'm thinkin all the people that read the misprint about the fantastic BOSE stereo in the touring model with speakers "that were precisely positioned by Bose to assure the truest, fullest sound" (directly from Nissan brochure) deserve a copy of the DVD as well!
