either way, i just don't get why everyone is getting twisted tampons over the fact that i don't care for badging the car improperly. if everyone is so desperate to change the name to FairladyZ, then i suppose Nissan was wrong in assuming that the name wouldn't sell here in the US. clearly it would.
again, it's my opinion, i don't like badging a car incorrectly. i could care less where it's made, what's different or anything of the sort. same for the Honda Integra badges on the RSX. when you purchase a vehicle from the dealer, it comes badged as one thing, to change it to something else because it makes you get a warm and fuzzy feeling of being a tad more JDM and somehow more exclusive than the next guy with the same car, so be it, it's just not for me.
carry on with the thread........

A 350z is entirely made in the Japanese Domestic Market parts in all and driving postion changed to USDM standards because we DRIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD.
DID U LOOK AT PART NUMBERS OF YOUR CAR .......guess what ...there all made in japan
the only thing thats not japanese in your car is the gas you put in it or the tires in some cases. the same argument cant be made with hondas now because some are made and assembled in USA which have diff regulations etc...but the Z is entirley japanese. Even thought the main project manager was from europe the team of designers where entirely japanese. From enception to creation . Maybey you got caught up in the honda scene where honda is now making cars in the USA this is not the case with teh Z and nissan with the 350z and other marquee cars.

A guy who buys a car thats japanese and neglects the entire car being JDM lmao thats a oxymoron if i ever herd one.
I thought this had been resolved. Agree to disagree. This thread is mean't to be broader than "who likes JDM, who hates it". If you want to argue about that then you should probably start another thread.
At this point, you guys are just getting personal trying to 1up each other.

i thought the topic was over a while ago, but brainiac above decided his personal crusade against me was far from that. you guys should be banned for being so intolerant of other people's opinions.
as for the "gay *** opinions" comment.........last time i checked, this was a public forum and the topic was about mods you don't like to see on a Z. i stated my opinion and that was it, but some of you decided i was cursing the Japanese gods or something and flamed me over it. why can't you guys just let it go already?
jim
What not to do to your car
put a retarted driver in it whos in denial LMAO
i think that takes the cake
mods to never do in a Z just so i contribute, ....put a pop charger in a 06 Z because it already has velocity stacks

Stang guys seem to do that alot, at least it's harder now with the extra set of lights and positioning on the GTs.
^^^^^Right after I made that post yesterday I went home for lunch and on the way I saw a F'in Jeep Grand Cherokee with a turbo badge on it. I couldn't beleive it I had to give him a honk and just laugh at him. Now that is just what shouldn't be allowed I should have battle rammed him but I was in my Z and not my beater.
