Is it just me, or do you laugh at all the "Fairlady" badges?
 

Ok, FIrst of all, I HAVE ACTUALLY OWNED A FAIRLADY!

It was my first car. I grew up in Okinawa, and I know the difference. I understand that people wanna think they are "LIKE" the cars back home, but the FAIRLADY badge is specific to one thing...IT IS RIGHT HAND DRIVE!

Now, everything else is fair game, and im not trying to nitpick ish....but when I see a car that is a Fairlady..i think..hmm, he brought it back from home..let me see it....then BLAM...its a lame *** Ford Contour Z.

STOP WITH THE POSER BADGES PEOPLE!

ALSO, the nismo front is ugly! :stirthepot:

THAT IS ALL!

:confused:

Its respect and homage to the culture, the car, and its heritage. But you wouldn't know anything about that cuz you're stuck on calling people posers.
In my opinion, when people want to label others? Its because they are insecure about themselves... now you may feel like your c*ock just grew 3 inches longer because you owned a real fairlady...
But the guys that add the badges. They are giving RESPECT TO THE MOTHERLAND OF OUR CARS.

:facepalm:

:ugh2:

More or less, Fairlady is just a name. True, it was and is the name given to the Z line in Japan, represents the heritage of the Z line.

Badging a Z car with "Fairlady" is completely fine. RHD or LHD, that just specifies JDM (or any market with RHD) or USDM (or any market with LHD).

Now, if you stick a FairladyZ badge on a Ford Contour, then you're just retarded.

That isn't a quote from me. Also, I haven't changed my sig since I joined. I have two jobs, am getting a college education, and I don't have any time anymore. Unfortunately, I still have expensive tastes.

I would also appreciate it if you would not attempt to know anything about me as an individual, but I made my case.

:tiphat:

With that ford contour comment he made... I don't even believe he :iagree:OWNS a Z.

Who cars if the differences are just cosmetic. Left or right hand drive isn't a big difference. What I do hate for example someone in a cheap 3 series BMW slapping a m3 badge on and calling it a day.

By the way, I like the NISMO front end! I think it looks functional. It curves kinda funky though.

Me too, looks were the only reason to get a slower, heavier and, more expensive Z for me.
:driving:

NO ITS NOT! Fairlady is Specific to ONE type of Z. IT is SPECIFIC to Japan. IT IS RIGHT HAND DRIVE ONLY!! They do not call the Z a Z back home it is only the Fairlady. The Z's sold everywhere else are called Z's.

but I guess it takes someone FROM there to know this. Im not hating, its just annoying as fauh-dook!

I stand corrected; Fairlady refers only to the RHD, JDM Z. I still don't see why you're so annoyed, since the only difference in any other market is the displacement number, then Z. You might have owned an actual JDM Z, but so what? It's as you said, ONLY difference is RHD. Well, that and the extra tools in the spare tire kit.

My Bad...I wasn't thinking of YOU when I wrote it...Again , my bad...

Go man go... Sounds like you are on the right path...Also Invest as you go, you are young enough, and motivated enough to amass a great amount of wealth over time...Forget what people say about the stock market and investing...Make a plan and do it..

Someone who invested in dividend stocks with 50K 10 years ago, has 500K now.. Even with the crash of 2009


I wish you all the best...Again. my bad.:tup:

And having expensive tastes will motivate you to the top...Sorry for my misguided post

hahahaha...What dont you get about it? It's an expression I use. It means some plaina$$ bland whatever. I mean, how many ford contours do you see where the guy tried to bling it up? It looks silly, like putting racing stripes on a motorcycle or buying a mustang....or a base model camero and putting all the SS or whatever the top line model is badges on it.

I have a Z sir. I have had MANY Zs. I have used that expression here before.

edit: moved to next page

Unless it was with apple. Then you still have $50k!

From another perspective, I think people who put phony badges on cars like my Z/28, or "clone" them is madness also..

Back in my day, if you did not have the real thing, why badge and stripe it like it is the real deal..

The fairlady thing, I do not know enough about...

Apple has got to be the strangest stock I have ever seen.

lol at troll post

If you're just talking about the kids who rice the **** out of their cars, I'm pretty sure everyone feels the same way.

This is from the random album photo on the main page. Made me sad.

What makes me mad is people throwing the NISMO badge on their cars just because they bought a few of the S-tune pieces. =P

10K into Mcdonalds in 1990 would be 500K right now...

Also a hedge of 15% in gold since then would make you retired early..

True you gotta pick your winners, but I just high jacked the thread to apologize to 370Z purist and get him thinking about what he will do with his motivation and go for it attitude...

because it isn't what you make, it is what you keep and what you do with it, and he sounds motivated...

sorry for the high jack..Money gets me excited..

Also I don't own apple, and facebook...end of non car posting...

I think it's dumb to throw a NISMO badge on anything unless it actually has NISMO parts... I'm tolerant, so I'm fine with even one NISMO mod and the badge. What I hate is when you throw on the badge without a single part.

Money gets a lot of people excited! Also, no hard feelings on your previous post. I've seen you around the forums and I know you're usually very justified in your responses.

I just want to engineer something great... and then open a mechanic's shop. That is my life goal. Enough for me.

:wtf2:

I don't like the "Fairlady" badge personally but if someone puts it on their car and likes it I really don't see the problem. Now I have seen people put the NISMO bage on non NISMO cars and I think that's just stupid. I hated when people put AMG badges on their non AMG Mercedes-Benz. I don't care if you put AMG rims on it's not an AMG car, same goes for NISMO IMO.

This seems like a silly thing to get upset about. Again, the Fairlady badge is a shout out to the Japanese version, not claiming to be one. And it's not like Japanese Fairlady's are in any way significantly better.

People get upset about the stupidest things. If you like the Fairlady badge, get one. If not, then don't.

The first car the be named the Fairlady wasn't a Z at all it was a Datsun Sports model the 1200. The Fairlady name was a reference to the Broadway musical My Fair Lady. Which by the way wasn't written in Japan.

So the name really doesn't belong solely to the people of Japan or the Z.

Actually, if you're totally serious about getting a FairladyZ badge, then you should convert to RHD, get even more emissions friendly, and also put a limiter on your car at 155kmh (is that the Japan limit?).


:owned:

seriously though guys, where can I get this badge?

:iagree: /thread

Now you are feeling me. Just like the nismo badges on VW beetles (see the key to naming a car that doesnt have your trim level or anything close to it is to name a car that is NOTHING like what you are talking about...see? In this case a VW beetle would be a super base model 18" wheel having, cassette tape playin...no tint, square wheels...LAME *** Z!!!)

If those with nismo badges make you wanna choke someone, because they have no nismo bits, then how is seeing Fairlady badges on a left hand drive car gonna make me feel? you only need ONE DAMN PART!!! a steering wheel on the RIGHT SIDE! Anything absent that and yes..you are a poser...

And to the cat with the YOU MAD BRO picture...IM HELLA MAD BRO! (playing MW3 right now actually!)

Dude, :gtfo2:

stop playing mw3, proven to shorten your lifespan

People agree, those people are called ricers. I still think FairladyZ is not a huge deal.

thread is definitely /thread.

ibtl x10

The Datsun Sport was the predecessor to the Z now, so it would in fact fit still as it was a Fairlady too!

my fair lady? hahahahah did you know lice is born blind? relevant? nope!
:ughdance:

:icon18::icon18::icon18: :owned:

You should like hella post that to your Facebook Status........:rolleyes: Now go to bed.

How are you going to be a 370Z Purist if you dont agree? YOU ARE CONFUSED HOMIE!

I don't see anything wrong at all with putting a fairlady badge on. That being said, I prefer to debadge all of my cars.

I believe in the Z legacy, not some badge or drive configuration. The Z soul does not change because you do not see eye to eye with others.

You should probably walk bro......got enough cars there?

burning calories is key to losing weight....just sayin.

First there was no connection from the Datson Sport to the first Z.

And second if your upset about people labeling non-Jspec Z as a Fairlady then it's hypocritical of you not to be upset about Japan labeling a car after an American Musical.

One thing this thread did, was it woke up the Z car guys...

But we don't have to get all stinky about it...This isn't yahoo..

Different things for different people.. If you think it is stupid, don't put one on your car..

Like I said earlier , I can agree that cloning a Muscle car that is not a factory Car is terrible..

Or putting AMG badges on a Benz is terrible, but putting the rims on is cool..

And the fairlady issue, sure we can discuss it, but are we going to throw jabs at each other to prove our point /

I already did that on this post and I was the fool.. So anyone doing it , well, it goes beyond discussing the badges and into stupidity...

At 23 posts, you sound more like someone from yahoo.. Also talking about people's weight and how many car's they have ? Are you twelve ?
