FairladyZ???
 

Can someone explain to me what the difference is in a "FairladyZ" and the 370Z? I can't seem to see anything different than the name?:ugh2:

In Japan the car is the "Fairlady Z" across all model years.

For the US market they call each model the "### Z" based on engine size. 300Z, 350Z, 370Z... you get it.

It'd be like if Ford sold the Mustang in America but called it the "460 GT" or "500 GT" in the rest of the world.

Fairlady Z is the name of the car in Japan. 370z is the name of the car in the US. I believe in Europe and other countries too. Not sure about that. From what i heard, US didnt want to sell the car named fairladyz because they thought that consumers would not drive around a car named fairlady. I got rid of my 370z and added fairladyz cause its a sexy name.

:iagree:

I'm looking for the correct Fairlady Emblem for my Z.

What do you mean the correct fairladyz emblem.

I didn't see this come up in a search, but I found a French article about the 2011 FairladyZ (Z34) and how it has a "Snow Mode" for slippery roads and better starts. Is this for the JDM or Euro version of the car only? See link: Nouvelle Nissan 370Z Coupé et Roadster 2011: Améliorations de rigueur | AutoBuzz and have Google Translate put it into English for you..

I have no clue if its only jdm or euro. But i know one thing. US Zs blow compared to euro and jdm versions.

wat? Because you drive on the left side of the car?

All I can say is thank God they didn't call it a "Fairlady Z" in the US. If there's a worse name for a car I'm not sure what it is.

you fail. it is a sexy name. just too many guys in the states that are scared about there sexuality:shakes head:

The fairlady Z has a rear foglight

I like fairlady Z but no way in hell am I going to stick that on my car :roflpuke2:

european Zs don't have that slippery mode/snow mode. first time I heard of the term. I know the GT-R has a snow button.

I don't care what they call the mustang here they can call it magic unicorn GT for all I care I want mustangs here :shakes head:

as far as I know fairlady Z is only in japan.

+1 European point of view :)

Not really.

Let's look at some differences.

In the US, you can buy trims that include a base trim (so you can save money up front and mod how you like) to the Nismo trim. Those aren't available everywhere. In fact, in Canada, all Z's are sport/touring.

In Canada and other places, you get the rear fog lamp. I ordered one with a switch. Cost me a couple hundy, but that's what I wanted. If you don't buy one, you're missing out on one extra light.

In other places you can get a rear wiper. oh noes.

In Japan, it's called a Fairlady. Not a better or worse name imo, just different.

In Europe, you could have bought the 40th anniversary trim in grey or black.

I may be wrong, but I think the 40th came with nav in other countries, not in the US, but that's just one option on one trim, and there are aftermarket options.

something something right hand drive

So yeah, US Z's just blow.:ugh2:

All US Zs are made in the factory in Japan wear the euro/jdm Zs are made so there is no quality difference. For manufacturing concerns companies want to limit differences that go to different countries. Gone are the days when the JDM car is completely different than the US car. They make a special trim for a certain country but that's rear and more likely to just be a special option.

:iagree:

huh? first off, its an opinion, and opinions don't fail. If you like the name, stick the decals all over your car, get a tattoo on your head, I don't care.

secondly, its a sports car, and like a book or movie the name is a part of the overall package. sorry, but I am not a fan of "My Fairlady" the movie (which has zero relationship to the car) and I don't care for the soft sounding name. again, you are free to use it. To me it sounds weak, not sexual.

If they called the car "True Grit" in Japan I wouldn't like that either. In that case, it would sound better, but still wouldn't fit.

and lastly, "just too many guys in the states that are scared about there sexuality" really? that's your line of thinking on this?

well, at least you've thought it through but you should probably consider speaking for yourself. I'm happy for you that you are proud of who you are and your sexual orientation. I've always been straight so that whole aspect of being afraid of who you are never occurred to me. My wife doesn't like it either, I bet she'll be real surprised to find out shes just scared of her sexuality. heh.

^^^^ lol looks like I hit a nerve with your manlyness. lol. And yes opinions can fail.:bowrofl:

As far I know european 40ths have Nav I remember seeing one at my dealership and it had a nav installed.

Opinions cant fail. that is just you being all "HURDURR DERP MY OPINION IS DA BEST" pretty much:roflpuke2: some people hate the Z and like the ford focus RS doesn't mean they fail.

Ok, whatever, you win the third grade. congrats.

I sure do thnk you hit a nerve. Maybe got caught in collage in bed with a man. I know I know it was just a sleep over. My Fairlady is sexy.Do you try to flex your muscle in everything you own. Also it gives a little bit of a womens love to it, and any real man knows everyting is better with a little touch of a women. Get over it My Fairlady is here to stay and l wish i knew your address because I would ship you one.

That is so false opinions can fail. A pedophiles opinion is that it is ok to do you know what with little kids. I know this isn't of the same stature but still it is a opinion and it is FAIL

Why not call it the magical unicorn Z.

plenty of female touch and we know how much we love female touches.

Might put a fairlady Z on the Vestito bumper since its japanese made :roflpuke2:

This is a win opinion/comment

A famous quote goes something like this: "Opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone's got one, they are all different and they all stink but mine". Food for thought.

Wow, well thanks for answering my question regarding the "Fairlady" Z. As for me, the 370Z name works just fine!

Dude seriously like are you serious. How can you put that name up to fairlady? Magical unicorn wtf, hey and we can maybe submit a request to Nissan and get that filed right next to the puff the magic dragon Z. Come on man mythological creatures. You people really wonder me

heh. not surprising.

hope nobody else "wonders you" today.

I would prefer a Z emblem where my Nissan emblems currently reside.

I had a Brit talking to me about a 370 Fairlady he saw in China town. He was impressed because he had a Fairlady 1600 back in the 60's. He likes the name.

Obviously, ppl are entitled to their opinions, guys. Come on.

I know sometimes I amaze myself http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...es/6xt26q1.png

sorry but mythological creatures > some name from a movie that has nothing to do with the car.

The nissan Dragon Z.

they should just call it nissan dragonball Z

They can try to steal the mustang heritage and call it the bulletZ

Yea sorry seems like some people have to much testosterone and just are uncomfortable with there sexuality.

Like did some of you go to a all mens collage where you took classes titled, how to slam a Gatorade, chest bumping 101, and high fives, when and where not to use them?

Are we 10 years old again? That cartoon sucked from day 1

how about nissan Viper Z

oh yes cuz disliking a name from a movie that has nothing to do with a sports car means we are uncomfortable with our sexuality. Makes ******* sense.

I just don't feel like it fits a sports car more for something like a family car.

I mean Nissan Skyline GT-R >>>> nissan fairlady Z.

Anime my dear friend anime. and yes dragon ball Z sucks even though my name is from a character in it back when I was 12 and liked it.

I like dragonball z....but then again I am only 18 and when I was young it was the big thing...

Well thats my opinion about the sexuality. Does my opinion fail?

I don't care about the movie and what it is about. Doesn't
change the fact that fairlady is a sexy name for this car. Get over the whole movie ordeal damn.
As far as the name for a sports car thank you for proving my point. You are to worried about flexing your muscle and the image the name will give you. Worried the girls will gigle at you if you said that name if someone asked what you drive. Me on the other hand will wear a shirt advertising it and more chicks will want to ride in it.
Also who cares if is anime? Is that a free pass for it to suck?

I have no problem with anyone who perfers 370 from Fairlady, but to make fun of the Fairlady Z name just shows me who the real Z enthusiast is and who just wanted a fast fancy looking car. The car is Japanese and in Japan its called the Fairlady, and to have to change that name because Americans would feel insecure about owning a car with that name is pretty sad. Fairlady is not just a name, its the history of the car so back off a little. LOL.

P.S... Nicely said toner123.. Maybe some of these guys should buy a MUSTANG or CAMARO, maybe a CHALLENGER.
