fairladyZ badges

[toecutter]

Thanks mate. You should be able to get those window rubbers on e-bay. I've seen them come up every couple of weeks for about $80 ea. Jeez...$500 thats pretty a good price. How many peices is the G-nose made up of?

Hi yall,

Since were on the subject of jdm badges. Do you know what the hood emblem looked like on the s30/hs30 cars. Are the mounting tabs on the "Fairlady" badge in the same spot as the "Datsun" badge.

Thanks,

Ahmed.

Yeah,i was pretty lucky,considering it had been at $950 since june this year and nobody wanted it,no doubt because its a 2+2....big deal,a few inches longer and a few wider.

The nose aint an original 5 piece,its only a two by a quick look,could be a three.Was well made though,i doubt its been made over here,as ive never seen one in my lifetime and doubt there would have been a market to justify someone making em.

I saw the bloke at Viczcar wants $250AU for some ZG replicas.......id only pay that if they had the allen key holes like the originals,that torana SLR5000 look.If i make my own i wont go to the extreme of making them like that,ill make a few sets for the boys if anyones keen,since a crate of beer will cost a bit to send over here,just the price of freight and maybe $100 to cover materials and the labour would suffice,not in it for the money,for the preservation and rekindling interest in the younger generation,and hopefully a little respect,instead of turning them into skid machines and putting them round a post,...mind you,i cant talk,that the way my Mach 1/351 went,but it was a ford,so i wasnt too worried (sorry ford fans)

I drove a good 60km today to a pullapart place and looked for a 260z i was told was there by the PO of this new Z when i picked it up,it was there,with 3 other cars on top of it and they wouldnt let me near it,due for crushing...with intact L26,badging (that i could see from 20m away) bumpers,glass and a rear louvre..i was shattered,tried to offer the maori boy there a few dozen to biff some parts over the fence later that night,.

Oh how i hate the Z addiction at its worst

1genzed...i think they are in the same spot,although the Fairlady Z badge is longer?

ALso,im after a original Z badge for the front of mine,seen one or two 260's with a ZX "Z" badge on them,just dont look right...if you find a few,keep me in mind bro

Pics of my badges fresh out of the moulds and 1 hour later all painted to original colours.

They look GREAT cutter.

Any chance your buddy is willing to produce some for sale? I'm sure some people would be willing to bite on that, including me in the near future.

The paint job is awesome. Big thumbs up.

Yea, no doubt! I would be willing to put them up for sale as a fundraiser for the club if we can get our hands on all of the emblems.

Yer, when I picked up this set Ash said he was giong to be selling them. I beleive he will be charging AUD$35 per blank badge which is about USD$25 ea. He is actually down as ZR240 on this forum and I believe he will be advertising shortly on this site amongst others.

Hey they dont look too bad at all.

If you want the nice metal badges please check out this website www.japan-datsun-service.com/S30-1.html

[Virto]

There's lots of places to pick up original metal badges, we're discussing the possibility of lower cost plastic replicas. Plastic holds up just as well, and anything's cheaper than 65 bucks each.

Cool site though, hadn't seen that one before.

Hey Ben,

How much are they asking for the metal ones?
