Ordered 3/20...and know that the dealer faxed it 3/21...my number is 3117

 

Ordered 5/14. #5959/10000

 

I ordered mine by fax on 2/20 to northern La.. (not Los Angeles)

My number is 2289/10000..finally something substantial.. In the past my dealer has said that most of the information will come directly from Nissan NA.. and we'll get most info quicker and more reliable than the dealers.. HE prob just want to sell cars and turn them over now.. $$ is what they care about ..

I believe you are correct in your assumption. I have been a casual "lurker" for about a month, but upon receiving my package this morning (7 AM sitting on the front step beside the morning paper) couldn't wait to check this board out. I am now officially excited (and registered). Here's your info:

Number: 222
Order Date: 01/12/02
Date Faxed/Nissan Received Fax: 01/15/02
Location: Boston Area (Natick)
Model: Basic 350Z (Black)

 

Looks to me like the correlation in the numbers vice order date (if any) is pretty loose. I have seen people that have order dates before mine with higher numbers, and its even true for those that ordered in January.

I guess it will take some correlation regression analyais to really tell for sure.

 

I know another member also did a graph, but for some reason, it wouldn't load for me.

Here is the Chart I did , which is current through this post.

 

That kind of lines up with what I imagined. Let me focus my tai-chi for a second... I see... I see... I see rooms full of summer interns with piles of boxes around them. I see these interns diligently wrapping a randomly selected Z package in bubble wrap for shipping to an equally random recipient.

This is just my vision, and has no truth to it whatsoever. I was considering calling Leslie Uggams (or was it Dionne Warwick?) at the Psychic Friends Network to get some clear answers.

 

Good Job, "Scaf" ... don't need any 'regression analysis' for that plot ... "linear as a murf" as my local radio degenerates might say! As with any data analysis, there will always be "free spirits" ... but for the value of our in-depth 'discussions', it is close enough.

 

Right when you were posting this, I was messing around with 'trend-lines'. I really have no idea what some (most) of those trend line options in Excel mean.

My goal now is to just get my silly chart back to the way it was!..

 

Check out this thread. Zisme said there is no correlation between that and delivery date. Obviously with this graph there is a correlation with the date you ordered and the number you received, but that doesn't mean that you're going to get your car first just because you're number 245...

I totally agree with you ZGirl. Packet numbers and order dates have a relation, but this may not mean anything in regards to production cycle. I've always thought that NNA probably took all the preorders, sent them to Japan, and the factory organized them in a production manner that suits them, possibly giving preference to early order dates. Or maybe NNA batched some pre-orders to Japan monthly, and production was geared up based on that. For all we know, the first shipment of cars may be relatively small, but the next boat could have 3000 cars on it.

The graph, aside from showing the packet#/date relationship, also shows the orders that for some reason are our of sequence drastically. Example is Nizl's order, where he ordered 1/16, but got a packet number more related to a late Feb/early march order date. (I think Nizl has posted that his dealer boo-boo'd). Then there is VQracer, who got packet 922, but ordered at end of March, and should've been in the 3600 range.

Like ZISME said, they didn't get it perfect as far as matching up the packets with dates. The graph shows some discrepancies. Doesn't really mean much, but was fun to create, and I learned a bit more about publishing excel charts as web pages :-)

 

Order date : 5/17
Number : 6626

 

Mine fits with the graph also.

Ordered feb 13, but my dealer, despite my nagging, didn't call it in until April 1.

My number is 4208.

 

I finally got mine in a second mail delivery. Glad I rechecked my mail box!

Limited Edition 03984/10000

Ordered 2/15/02

 

?

 

Doc-
I am pretty sure that is VQRacer...

 

It is VQracer. Not sure how he did it. He ordered before pre-ordering was available, then cancelled, then re-ordered in March.

He got a real low packet number.

 

Ordered on March 6, 2002 (at least that was the date I physically deposited my hard earned green-backs and signed on the dotted line). #02906
