Nismo badges ?

[Dimi34gtt]

Hey guys a guy I use to know a guy that had a standard 318i BMW but he use to plaster it M3 badges grill, boot , side skirts etc despite not having any M parts on the car. This got me thinking is it ok to have Nismo badges on a stock car and if not how many Nismo parts before you can display a Nismo badge with the conviction that your car is worthy of it. I mean at the end of the day I don't care what people do with there cars but if your repping a tuner brand do you guys think you should have a minimum amount of parts.

Completely subjective.

Is a Nismo badge a Nismo part? Thus does a badge justify a badge?

I think it's lame if you have zero Nismo parts, but beyond that, meh.

Really it's each to their own.

For me personally, I believe the badge can only go on the car when the car has all the parts that would have accompanied that badge from factory. Otherwise it's just a plain lie to me. However like above, each to their own.

Yeh I think it's each to their own, I plan to stick my badge on once I install all my parts in the garage and even then im a little apprehensive as i know there will be some diehard Nismo fanatics that may deem my parts list not sufficient enough to rep the Nismo flag.

 

i plan to run the following

GENUINE NISMO PARTS 

Nismo oil cap 

Nismo radiator cap

Nismo low temp thermostat 

Nismo oil filter 

Nismo rear badge 

Nismo triple gauge cluster 

Nismo tachometer cluster 

Nismo Clear side indicators 

Nismo muffler 

Nismo front strut brace 

Nismo intercooler air duct 

Nismo oil change plate

uhh following that logic unless your car is a genuine nismo edition it doesn't matter how many nismo parts you put on it, it still isn't a nismo skyline.

That would be like putting an Rb26 and 4wd in a GTT and you put a GTR badge on it, it's still a GTT.

In saying that i don't think there is any issues with putting nismo badges on a skyline if it's what you like. It's your car do whatever you want with it, put nismo badges on it and be happy.

And you won't find a much larger Nismo fan over me. The badge is just another Nismo item, in fact i would get it solely to increase the number of nismo items you have lol.

haha yeah i get that im a huge fan to, my question though is that the S-tune badges in particular er34 S-tune items are not many at all potentially you could buy all the S-tune parts for a skyline and rep the S-tune badge, either way, i plan to show my badge and if people pull me up on it and ask what parts i have to wear the badge id be more than happy to go through my parts list hahahaha

Just send it to Omori factory Japan and let them do their magic. You can choose if you want an S-Tune or R-Tune fridge upgrade.
They will use OEM parts from the manufacturer and label them Nismo and charge you three times the price of the OEM parts, but that's the only way to justify the badge.
