glastoveteran Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Just wondering, is there actually a reason why some JDMs are FairladyZ and why some are 350Z? Are the newer ones 350s? Quote
lomoto Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Same car, all Jap 350z's are badged Fairlady Quote
glastoveteran Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Same car, all Jap 350z's are badged Fairlady That's the point - they're not all Fairlady - some cars in Japan are actually badged 350Z and so wondered whether it was a recent thing... Quote

Toon Chris Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Badges are cheap and easy to fit. It's probably the owner that has changed it, just like a lot of UK people do on their JDM. Quote
glastoveteran Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Again that's what I thought, but I figured it was only buyers in the UK that rebadged them once they had imported them. This is the one I'm importing - it's an 07 and looks pretty standard in every respect so I was just a bit surprised if they had gone to the trouble of changing the badge and not much else. Quote

Nice car... in the States you have people taking off their 350 badge and putting a Fairlady one on Quote
glastoveteran Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 best colour too.....!! Cheers! Though I think it gets mixed reactions, and I haven't even seen the colour in the flesh yet! I'll put some proper pics up once the long wait is over! Quote
docwra Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Externally, the only modification on mine is the badge having been changed - "Fairlady" doesnt exactly conjure images of manly sports cars and stuff does it?? Quote
Ebized Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Externally, the only modification on mine is the badge having been changed - "Fairlady" doesnt exactly conjure images of manly sports cars and stuff does it?? I see Nissan badge one of their cars a 'Horny' (no idea what it is ) - should have used that for the ZED Quote

JDM Lover Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Brace yourselves and make sure you've got kleenex on standby.... Aparently the name is Homy not Horny, maybe they're saving Horny for the next Zed Quote
