TT350 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think if you have performance parts that by them then that would make it worth of the NisMo badge. I'm not sure about bodykits. You can make your 350 look like a 380RS but it won't be one or perform like one. Suspension and engine parts used in a 380RS applied to a regular 350Z would make it similar to one. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Lol just reminded me. Saw a truly knackered Clio phase 2 1.2 with a V6 badge from a Clio V6. I did take a snap when I stopped behind him at lights. Must have taken the worst, most chavvy bits from Ripspeed at Halfords too. Or an owner many years ago did as it was buggered.

TT350 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Like part of Ripley's ship. You're thinking of Nostromo. Maybe they had a NisMo sticker somewhere?! Nistromo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Decided I'm going to stick mine on. I know it's not a Nismo. But it's got a full Nismo kit from nissan and there's holes in the kit where they should go and it saves me getting them filled í ½í¸‚ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine nismo induction kit ok then haha ? This was on the car when I bought it and I'm yet to see another one on a DE zed.

Just a combination of parts from the manufacturer that make it equal to a version of a car they released. Like i say just my opinion.

monkeybrain1234 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I love my NISMO badge on my non-Nismo car. And I don't care what others think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Like putting an M5 badge on a 5.0l 5 series sport with Mpower bumpers and wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Each to their own. It's your ride.... so bolt on or stick on what you want, whether it's relevant to the car or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I felt I was justified on my 34 as it had a Nismo exhaust, bodykit and few other items I dont like to see GTR badges on non GTR Skylines either but ultimatly when its your own car you make the rules so do whatever you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panman Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Always a sensitive topic. I remember someone on here flaming me because i had Nismo on my wheels. The //M badge for BMW it not just reserved for //M 3,5 ect. Its also a styling pack. You look through the http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/catalogue_2016/#page=1 brochures and there is plenty of product with nismo written on it. What do you do, take this off because you're afraid people may think it's a nismo edition. As with anything it's moderation. I don't want 'fake' my car but i like the Nismo badge, simple. I admire the people who have worked hard to buy a genuine Nismo and i can understand the sting if someone pulls up next to you in a standard 350/370 with a Nismo kit. It's the same argument as Rota vs Volk, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) personally i think its ok to have a nismo badge when you have a nismo car lol. Its like wearing a pair of primark trainers and using a felt tip to colour a nike tick. Edited April 27, 2016 by -Bradders- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebedy Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Some people are obsest with decals, stickers and badges. I am. So its up to the individual. But should be kept classy if possible, Im actually de-badging and de-stickering mine over this week end with the exception of my Tarmac Sportz decals which I love.
