Default New Aussie Owner

Hi Guys Long time reader, first time post.

Just drove my brand new 08 Zed off the showroom floor on Saturday, it finally arrived. Auto Touring in Carbon Silver.

I tell you what it was worth the wait, i only ordered on December the 12th 2007.

Anyway reading the forums and the global nissan sites, you folk in the US have got it good. We miss out on alot of cool features/options that you get.The only options we get are coupe/roadster, manual/auto. and ultimately you get to choose a colour from the 6 different shades of grey .

Anyway that being said, it's booked in on saturday for an alarm upgrade, as well as speaker upgrade.

Also trying to track down a 7" touchscreen with VGA input..... No such thing in australia apparently.... once i find one i will be dropping a pico itx/carpc to take care of the bluetooth, sat nav, wireless internet, car diags and entertainment components.

Will post pic once i work out how.

Wow! I think that is the record for waiting after order for a regular Z (not counting those that preordered in 2002).
Congrats and enjoy.

No worries. You can get VB, we can't. So it about evens out.

Enjoy the ride.
