Quote:Can always use more pics. Have a few at sedan badges grille center ornament but notably missing how it actually bolts to the grille

Using reply/upload many pics ... is easier than adding a pic one at a time to the Photo Album. The only "trick" is making the photo less than 200,000 bytes as most all phones make larger files than that. Most 1024x768 photos are under 200k bytes. I still use the old free "STGThumb" program to resize photos because the resizer built into Windows makes files too big

1024x768 photo from STGthumb or Resize Me: 150KB size
1024x768 photo from Windows Photos: 225KB file size

The flying-S badge with horizontal bolts is the rear badge. The grille badge has the diagonal bolts

Yes these came on Japan-market 1972 coupes, all coupes including DX, GL, and GX


the rear badge is distinguished by scalloped fluting on the edge of the circle part. The grille badge has a smooth chrome finish




If the black paint is worn off...



...examine it for the scalloped sections



Also if i recall correctly the rear badge is nearly flat, while the grille badge has a V-shape to match the grille angle

I don't have badges any more as i sold or gave away when i moved. Carried only two suitcases on the plane. Sometimes I think about my old 1200s but really need aircon here

I'm keen for an S to suit a plastic grille. I couldn't help but notice you had that 'Flying S' one on your coupe.
You should see about getting it scanned and make some 3D copies to sell.

How much ya paying for the round "s" for metal grill?

I have the flying "s" on my coupe

I was under belief they came on all JDM (true meaning) models

Do we need pics of the sedan "S" badge for the wiki?

So DD what did the horizontal Flying S badge come on and was it a grille badge or did it sit somewhere else. I'm sure someone could adapt it to the diagonal bolt pattern with some JB Weld.

P.S. If you want to sell one of your collection send me a message

yeah i got my JDM badges in Japan, genuine Nissan and much cheaper than eBay


There are two version of the Flying-S, but the other version DOES NOT FIT the coupe grille


This one's telltale is the fluted/scalloped edging



Grille badge has smooth round edge



The other version has horizontal bolts, so it won't bolt to the grill:



Contrast with grille badge's diagonally arranged bolts:

Would love one of the original metal ones or even one of the round 'S' badges.

I remember years ago someone in Australia was selling a billet version of the flying S badge on ebay all the time. But I haven't seen them for years and have only seen a couple of the genuine ones for sale in Aus over the last 15 years.

Fits any 1200 plastic grille, such as 1970-1973 Coupe, 1972 JDM Coupe, 1974-1976 SA Coupe

Ute Grill, Coupe GX Grill, Coupe DX/GL Grille



fitted 1979-up 1200 ute (this particular ute has the grille chrome blacked out)




Bolts right on, same as the round ornament













Plastic Grille has two bolt patterns, so your coupe can unbolt the round ornament, and then bolt on the Flying-S -- or even the late Ute ornament

Here's the later plastic version. If anything it's too shiny. The metal version had a nickel/chrome finish

Yes, as the following photos show they were of metal. However official Nissan parts were later made in very high quality plastic as seen with other 1200 badges
