ofcourse.. just look up japanese websites.. fairlady came from mr k.; fairlady was a movie or musical that he liked, so thats what he named the car in japan.. the only reason why its 300, 350 etc. is cause they figured americans wouldnt drive a car with a girly name i guess..

However many Nismos were made for Japan (approx. the same amount of Nismos we have, give or take)+ the 300 Nismo 380RS models + however many people have removed the 350z badge in the U.S. and replaced it with the Fairlady badge.

There are no special "Fairlady" options. It's just a badge. There are a few cosmetic differences between the Japanese Nismo and the U.S. Nismo and they can get sat nav as an option, but that's it. The real difference is the Nismo 380RS which is not offered by Nissan U.S. or Nissan of Japan, only straight from Nismo of Japan.

Ah..got it..so its just a "badge" thing..no "special order Nismo".. Well I found an '07 Nismo for sale and it had the Fairlady emblem on the back. Car is super mint..with only 600miles on her for only 20K..(Nismo #0004)

Turned out to be a scam. I saw the ad on cars.com the phone # was bogus..and I emailed.. been going back and forth with emails..here is one of his emails..Keep in mind he is in Cali and Im in NY.

So we have to options:

1: You must find the nearest Money Gram agency and you will go there with a relative, best friend, someone you trust.
Her comes the best part: your friend or relative will be the Sender and you will be the Receiver in New York.
This way you will have total control of your money, since you are the Receiver you are the only one that can pick them up!
I will be 100 % sure that you are a serious buyer, and that you will be in New York. because once the money is sent to you, you have to be in New York to pick them up.
Once you show me a photo or a scan copy of the receipt from Money Gram in the amount of 10% in your name, i will fly back home and meet with you and make the deal in person,then you will pick up the money from Money Gram and pay me cash in hand.

2: Go to Money Gram and your dad,mom,best friend you name it,one of them will be the Sender and you will be the Receiver in New York!
Once you e-mail me a scan copy of the Money Gram (as proof that you have the money) i will buy a plain ticket and fly to New York to ship the car to your address, you will also receive the title, you will have 3 days to inspect, test drive it, take it to a mechanic, after 3 days you have to decide if you will keep it or not! If you will keep it (witch i am 100% you will)
then you will go at Money Gram and change the Receiver's name with my name so i can pick up the money!
If for some reason you wont like it, then i will ship the car back on my expense and you will get your money back from Money Gram. I am risking here a: plain ticket and shipping fees,
you will risk only $100 Money Gram fees!
So what do you say?
You will inspect the car in person before i get paid, i cannot do more than this...

Please let me know witch one is better for you?


I had to laugh..what a joke..my reply was..um how about this 3rd option
I fly out see the car. Buy the car with a certified bank check or cash. Arrange for the car to be delivered to me in NY and I fly back. Seems simple to me..

I knew it had to be too good to be true..
