xs10shl Posted January 16, 2010 Share #25 Posted January 16, 2010 Also the last generation Prince logo (which appeared on the R380) was also used on the steering wheels of Nissan's c10 and c110 Skylines (perhaps others?). I believe the standard models had blue logos, and the GT-Rs were fitted with red ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the standard models had blue logos, and the GT-Rs were fitted with red ones. You sure about that? None of the C110 steering wheels I've seen have a prince logo on them. They are either D for Datsun on export models, or S for Skyline on JDM models. and http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300383511608 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS30-H Posted January 17, 2010 Share #28 Posted January 17, 2010 Also the last generation Prince logo (which appeared on the R380) was also used on the steering wheels of Nissan's c10 and c110 Skylines (perhaps others?). I wonder if you might have been thinking of the combined 'N' and 'P' cypher ( as seen on the Nissan R380 A-II, R380 A-III, R381, R382 & R383 sports racers ) as opposed to the stylised, brush-stroke 'P' shield logo ( as seen on the Prince R380-I & R380 A-I )? The 'NP' cypher is often mistaken for a stylised 'P'. It seems likely that Nissan were making a conscious effort to acknowledge the 'Prince' heritage of the R380-series with this badge. Example photos: 'NP' emblem on Nissan R381, and Prince 'P' shield on 'Prince Jidosha' sticker ( on my toolbox! ): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Camouflage Posted January 17, 2010 Share #29 Posted January 17, 2010 Then there is the prince logo the "NP" one seems to be based on, as seen on the Skyline models prior to the C10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted January 17, 2010 Share #30 Posted January 17, 2010 Good point, Mr C. I didn't have a photos of that one.It seems clear where the stylised 'NP' emblem came from. It's just a tweak of that 'P' emblem you showed.Cheers,Alan T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
