straight from the bulletin:

Facilities/Production

 In total six of Nissan’s facilities in Japan have reported some damage to their buildings or equipment, including Iwaki Plant (Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture), Tochigi Plant (Kawachi County, Tochigi Prefecture), Yokohama Plant (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture), Oppama Plant (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture), Zama Operations Center (Zama City, Kanagawa....

sorry the bottom bit got cut off some more:

 Nissan’s Tochigi and Iwaki plants in northern Japan have suspended operations until Friday, March 18.
 Nissan’s Oppama, Kyushu, Shatai and Yokohama plants have suspended operations until Wednesday, March 16.

The info re: damages was taken from another source but not in print.. and gleaned from the fact that the plant that builds them was dameged and some images i have forwarded to our BDM.

Toyota was hit worst (their shipping port along with 3000 vehicles washed asway).

i heard Nissan are expecting anywhere from 1400-2500 to be damaged.. but obviously some will be worse than others.

I wonder if insurance covers them? from my background in insurance most companies would claim Force Majeure (act of god) therefore not covered by insurance?? but my background is more international import/export shipping & logistics.

I think there are some slightly more serious issues than damage to some new cars and tyres currently in Japan!

Just got this little bit of info back regarding my enquiries about STi enkei's rims for a GB and the R205 4pot rear brakes.

*"As for STI/Subaru, they have been affected the most by the earthquake. Part of their factories are still closed, the stock in the warehouses must also be checked because the sprinkler systems went off. They are moving slow but they should be back in full operation again here soon. We will not be able to get any lead time information until later this week on STi/ Subaru."

So looks like they were pretty affected after all which is a damn shame as a lot of stuff would have been ruined bit hopefully they have some kind of sale to get rid of soiled stock!

Keep an eye out for us Wayne.. Can think of a couple of things I may buy if you are going to ship some stuff over

Yep no worries, I've already said I'd put my hand up for soiled stock that comes up which could be rims and parts which only have water damaged boxes which they cant sell.
