Why do you feel the need to advertise that you have a supercharger? One of the coolest things about a supercharger setup is that it's very sleeper-ish. I've caught quite a few cars off guard who thought I was just a N/A 4 cylinder.

Agreed...most people look for the intercooler in the bumper and automatically assume you're rockin' 155hp of NA fury...but then they find out otherwise once you destroy them off the line. :)

I surprised a few Mustangs and GTO's with my supercharged S14 and I could tell they were shocked.

I wanted to buy a flew fuel badge like on chevy's but decided not to. Keep people guessing why my exhaust smells different.

nissan doesnt use R for supercharged apps. they use it for top "sport" models of specific car. Not even all R designations are turbo cars. SE-R, na 2.0-2.5(depending on year)
Spec R is a 2.0 turbo and the GT-R should need no explanation. that goes for badging

Nissan did however use r in engine codes to designate supercharged such as vg33er from xterra\frontiers and im sure others but thats the only factory supercharged engine i can think of from nissan.

the R actually does designate that its supercharged, just not on the model of the car. It would be part of the engine code, like ka24de-r would be supercharged. Kinda like 1jzgTe, the T designates its turbo
