the cars arent being sold as fairlady outside of Japan is because the name is fruitcake to most English speaking countries!

I don't think anyone here is putting the badge on to be a poser. No one here thinks they have the jap version. I think the vast majority simply do it because they love their car. If we were posers we would order it in japanese writing

Is there any difference, other than right hand drive, that the Jap cars have?

I think he called me an idiot and either suggested I should be put on an ignore list or said he was putting me on his.

I'm not pro japanese so my translation could be off. I guess everyone with my opinion is stupid and should be ignored?

Do japanese cars not have japanese emblems on them? Maybe that is my confusion...

EDIT: After doing some research it appears that on japanese cars they use romaji. This could be different for some cars? I don't live in japan so I don't know, all I have is the internet. So I'm still confused why I'm an idiot.

Japanese cars do not have Japanese emblems on them, as you say they use romaji just like everybody else does. Sometimes a trim level may be in Kanji or something, but typically they don't bother b/c it's expensive to make the badges lol.

I think dudes that go around calling guys posers are insecure, habitual move-fakers that are secretly sexually attracted to Dominic Toretto.

I don't have a Fairlady badge. I'm still not sure if I want it or not? But I respect the fairlady name so much. I know guys do it out of emotional respect for our cars culture and history. The only reason why I'm not sure if id do it is because I really like the 370z plaque as well.

But I'll be damned if I'm gonna label one of our Z guys a poser for loving there cars that much. If they have the fairlady name? Most likely they know the history. Cuz without that knowledge. The name is kinda fruity. But, once you learn the Z story from genesis till today. The name fairlady takes on a whole new meaning. The fruitiness of it becomes non-existant and is replaced bya sense of passion for the car.

The inspiration for the nameplate was the hit musical with that name... speaking for myself: pass. 370Z is fine.

That said, what's in a name?

Fair Lady and later Fairlady - The name given to the first line of sports cars designed and built by Nissan Motors Japan after W.W.II, with the specific intent of being marketed in the USA - 1960.
The name "Fair Lady" was given to the new sports car line by Mr. Katsuji Kawamata, President Of Nissan Motors Japan, after he attended the Broadway Musical "My Fair Lady" while visiting the US in 1958. He felt that the name would invoke an image of beauty for the car - because people would think of the beauty of the music and the leading lady in that Broadway Musical.
