I saw this posted in one of the big Z Facebook from someone who works at a Nissan dealership. Apparently we can expect reservations to open for the Z "some time after January 3rd".

Nissan Z Reservations Opening in January?
Good luck- your blue Z delivery will depend on when that color is in production in Japan. Next factor is where your dealership will be in line to get the new Z.
For what it is worth, my local dealer who I have a deposit with as being the third person on their list has told me they will have the ‘ordering portal’ open, whatever that means, around the first week of January. They expect that through that they will have pricing and build options available for selecting and will place the order for my car right around there. Who knows if that’s accurate, just what I have been told. Will find out in a week or so I guess.

Your username has a Canadian flag next to it. Is this info coming from a dealer up there? Traditional ordering is supposedly not a thing in the states.
Yes that’s correct. The sales manager wasn’t entirely clear though in that it is possible that the cars they will be getting could very well all be stock orders for the dealership. However, they would pace their orders based on what I would want in the car and have first opportunity to purchase it. It all seems very different than other manufacturers so I am not really holding out much hope for this until I get a call from them which hopefully will be sometime in the next 2 weeks based on what I have been told.

Keep us posted please
Hey, so this is the update I just received. As already stated there are cars hitting ports with the official reveal coming Jan 28 with the order banks opening then. I will be meeting with my dealer next Monday/Tuesday when the order guides are released with trim, pricing options etc. Anticipated turn around time is 4-6 weeks on the cars. Lets say double that for deliver because a 6 week turn around seems very hopeful, first cars here by April.

Wow that is amazing news.
Just reading the Tokyo release which indicates June for the Proto spec. That could be a late release option or the dates my dealer had are wildly off. The YEN MSRP converts over to about 76K in CAD, that’s higher than I anticipated just in relation to 370Z pricing here.
I did stop by my local Nissan dealership. They were as excited about the Z as I was. I am in a fairly non-car people area. All pickups and SUVs, so they were kind of excited to see I was a Z car guy, unusual around here. I was able to throw down a small deposit and put in for an "allocation" for them. He told me since they obviously don't have order books and such yet, nothing is specific. But, he can send off reservations/presale allocations for approval to their dealership
He told me he did two Ariya reservations for customers the previous day, and they both came back approved from Nissan super quick. So he said, with the Z it won't take long. And getting the numbers out there of pre-sale/allocations to Nissan from their dealership will help Nissan get the ball rolling with the alloted units. They're contacting me back as soon as they get more information for specific details/options, pricing and all that jazz once they get it. But, he told me as long as I have an idea of what I want based on the current information, (colors/trim/manual/auto) it's going to be easy to send off.

I also stopped by a new Nissan dealership which opened up a few months ago in my area. They took a small refundable deposit from me as well. I have a feeling this won’t go well though. The girl who wrote down my order wrote “400Z” and it felt like nails on a chalk board.
Maybe that will work in your favor! A little less knowledgeable about the car, less likely to know about crazy demand, less likely to charge a markup knowing it's going to be a hot seller ?
Only time will tell!
I received the order guide today, pricing is expected Thursday.
I committed I wouldn’t share it. There are 2 trims, sport and performance. The only option it shows is Proto Spec. It appears the interior colours are pre selected based on exterior colour with no clear option to select them. I am trying to confirm what interior options match with what exterior. Dealer maintains he will be able to place his orders this Friday
