Putting the badge on doesn't damage the car. If you like it do it.

No, but when you realize it's a bad idea and take it off you can if you aren't careful.

Even then it's a little paint correction. Its not like adding FI and blowing an engine. Minimal risk involved

wow :shakes head: some of the best sports cars in the world right now have 4 seats, some even have 4 doors *mind blown*. also, straight from the R390's wikipedia page (yea i know, take it with a grain of salt):

"Only 2 R390 road cars were ever built, and one is stored at Nissan's Zama warehouse. The street-legal road car is capable of running 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and 0-100 mph in just 6.8 seconds. The 1/4 mile is accomplished in just 11.1 seconds at 134 mph (216 km/h). The top speed is 220 mph (350 km/h)."

i heard they had to make a few roadgoing versions of the race cars to pass hamoligation rules just like porsche with it's street versions of the 996 GT1. try a google search before spouting info :tup:

Perhaps I should have been more specific with regard to the R390 and stated that "Nissan has always called its production, road-going sports cars Fairlady. And, I beg to differ but cars with back seats are not sports cars. They are more appropriately called "GT", but they are not true sports cars.

OK so im kind of on the fence on this one, so I wanted to get some opinions on rebadging my Z. I think it's a kind of cool idea, paying homeage to the Z's of old... lil bit of history sort of thing, ya know? I ordered the FairladyZ badge from Nissan parts, but then called and canceled my order. I just cant seem to lean one way or the other on this thing. Im thinking of reordering it, but I need some opinions here!

It is the history of Japan not mine. I bought my first "Z" back in the '70's, and did not like the Fairlady moniker then either. Nothing has changed.

If you get it though, I do appreciate it is an "homage" not an insult, This guy likes Z cars.

I did prefer the Z vs Nissan burger.

It's your car do what pleases you. If you change your mind it can be removed. If you are asking for opinions on this maybe you should hold off.

It may be just a badge but ur dealing with import convert. No topic is spared from his over dramatic dikish commentary and self righteous know it all answers.

If you're on the fence, then I wouldn't bother. Then on the other hand it's a relatively cheap mod and an easy fix if you don't like it...plus you could resell the emblem if you change your mind. I don't think this mod constitutes any sort of "posing" but you may get some stupid questions as others have mentioned.
