Fairlady Z
Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum. I just recently purchased a touring model Z, and have a question regarding the Fairlady badging on it. What in terms of performance or anything else does this badge add to a 350? answers would be appreciated.

Other members will correct me if I'm wrong, but the Fairlady Z is simply the name of the 350Z in Japan. The Japanese get all the cool names while we get stuck with the numbers 
. Anyway, I assume it's pretty much the same car.

its about .5 ounces lighter than the stock '350Z' badge so thats worth a good .0000000000011hp. Seriously, the 350z is called a Fairlady Z in Japan. JDM freaks like to have it on cuz its...well....JDM!!!

I think that's European, but I'm not totally sure. I think the GT badge in Europe means track version here in the US, but thats just a guess from reading Topgear.

yeah I bought it this past week, it has 22000 miles on it. it does have aftermarket intake and a nismo shifter in it, dont know what else it has yet, havent had much of a chance to look around and see anything else. I am having a hard enough time getting used to the MT with the crappy traffic around here, but I love the car

and I thought my Z came pre riced... it had the fairlady badge and the only thing nismo about it was the license place frame.
I would take the 350GT off. I left my fairladyZ badge but traded away the frame to someone that actually had nismo stuff on his car.

yeah, I probably will end up taking the 350GT off, replace with original 350z emblem. the nismo shifter is aftermarket. I dont think the previous owner did anything else to the Z, as from what I have seen yet.

i would have gone back to the 350z by now but I don't want to spend the $30 or so to buy the 350z emblem. So its going to stay as fairladyZ or I will take it all off and just have the nissan logo back there.
