Badges!! What do they mean? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello all, I was on some web site selling Silvia's Emblems. Is there a diffrent meaning behind a

red emblem
and a

Green/Sliver
and a Green/Gold (couldn't find a picture for this one)
I like the Red one for my hood but I want to know the the reason for the red is before I get it.

no one has an answer...come on you people are losing your edge <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

S14Pilot · 01-02-2002, 10:00 AM

I haven't been able to find a reason for the different colors either.  I'm sure you know the difference between the K and Q emblems, but the colors seem to remain a mystery.  At least to you and I.

zephyr · 01-02-2002, 10:05 AM

im guessing it has something to do with silvia j's k's or q's
i bet that green one is q's because it kinda looks like a q wrapped around the s
i think k is an sr20det, q's and j's use sr20de
j's are base model silvias

silviaguy · 01-02-2002, 10:17 AM

Ok, so if I put the Red badge on my car its cause I have a SR20DET motor right?

BlankFlip · 01-02-2002, 10:25 AM

well, they're both for s14's, the red one is for an s14 silvia k's, and i'm thinking that the black one is just a variation of it made for like the 97-98's possibly, there is also a green one like the black one for s14's. an s15 emblem looks like this, which is different than the 2 shown:

This could help...

I'm so sorry, you're right. They should be for the zenki and kouki.

vancouvers14 · 01-02-2002, 11:17 AM

Q's actually had a Q on the shield, if i remember correctly.  The different colors were just for different paint schemes i think.

240meowth · 01-02-2002, 11:43 AM

since we are on the topic, i have no idea what J's and Q's and K's are.  i have an s13, i know there are 2 different badge for the trunk, one's a K's and the other a lightning symbol, what do each of these mean?

silviaguy · 01-02-2002, 12:10 PM

Ok guys that this help a lot looks like I am going to buy the Red one.  Also I also would like to know what the K,Q, etc. mean?

zephyr · 01-02-2002, 12:21 PM

k=kings
q=queens
j=jack
jack is base model q is mid model and k is top of the line model

silviaguy · 01-02-2002, 12:24 PM

I see thanks

BlankFlip · 01-02-2002, 01:05 PM

also:

k's - turbo version w/ sr20deT
q's - non-turbo w/ sr20de
j's  - non-turbo as well

240meowth · 01-02-2002, 01:30 PM

so, wha's the sqare lightning symbol mean on the back of a s13?

man that is one thing i really love about things from japan, they all have like these little knick knacks that make things that much cooler.  they do it in the anime's, video games, cars everything and it's neat how everything ties into eachother, like they name the top model K for king. ingenious!

240meowth · 01-02-2002, 04:31 PM

somebody, answer my cry!!! there are 2 type of badges on the trunk of the s13, one is big circle inside is "K's", the other one is just a trapazoid w/ a lightning inside, what does the trapazoid one stand for?

kitoro · 01-02-2002, 04:39 PM

the K's = King
the trapezoid w/ the lightning .. i have no clue. never seen it b4!
if you have a pic, it'd help!

wav399 · 01-02-2002, 05:06 PM

The ellipticle one with Ks' goes on the rear door panel (after the door and before the wheel).  So where does the shield with Ks' go?  And never seen the lightning in the trapezoid.  We need pictures.

vancouvers14 · 01-02-2002, 06:07 PM

the lightning bolt is for s15's

BlankFlip · 01-02-2002, 06:46 PM

possibly confusing it w/ an s15 or a particular skyline emblem???

KoukiS14 · 01-02-2002, 10:00 PM

The lightning bolt is a stylized "S"

Anyway. . I have the green / gold / silver hood bage on my S14a. . looked cool cause it matches my green car pretty well...   But, a friend has the red badge on his 96. .

We noticed something... his is a larger badge than the one on my car... the smaller badge on my car was meant for 94-96 Silvia. . while his was meant for later 96-98... looks cool tho. . so it's all good!!!

I think I saw the green / gold one on a 270R

-Rob

240meowth · 01-03-2002, 04:13 AM

i'm getting that trapazoid badge soon, i'll post it when i get it, i bought it off of some guy on this board

01-03-2002, 02:40 PM

I got mad pictures to show, I even got a diagram of where the badges go on the S15 and the skyline emblems, it's just that I can't find a place that supports hotlinking, so when I put it here, it doesn't show up.  Anybody wants where I can upload it to?

01-03-2002, 03:35 PM

The red badge is for the '97-'98 S14 Aeros SE edition. Black badge is the same for Js, Qs, Ks Aero or what not.

The '94-'96 S14 uses the Green badge. And if you pay close attention, will noticed that the back of the badge is curved to matched the curve of the '94-'96 S14 hood.

The emblems with Ks, Qs, Js are mounted behind the doors on the side.

kitoro · 01-03-2002, 04:00 PM

anyone know what the lil emblem on the S14a k's are that are between the door and the rear wheel?
I rarely see a pic of it, but when i do, the pic is blurry.
