anyway, as long as its a Z34, its a Fairlady 370Z. irregardless built LHD/RHD or sold in Japan/USA/EU etc etc., meaning any badge is fine.. just up to user preferences.

Personally i prefer the name Fairlady as cars/boats/planes are all females.. irregardless of how much muscle she packs...
Damn...I call my Z/28 "The Beast", now if that is a Ladies name, what am I driving ? Chewbacca ?
