Spoiler option

[2fast2z]

Hi All
I need to get some kind of front spoiler on my Z, the car isn't steady enough at high way speed, i like to get any advise on witch one to go for and also where to scource one, i like to have one that either is old school or one that blend in nicly.
If anyone have one up for sale, then let me know.

Chris

Is your car not lowered then ? I have no spoiler and no problem - even in the wet !

 

[twoforty]

I'm toying with the idea of fitting my old one back on, I prefer the way it follows the lines of the car. I have a couple of different ones that I may sell. would you like me to post some pictures of them?

 

[2fast2z]

Sean, the car is not lowered, it is a well known problem, maybe only on the US spec version, i don't know, but i know it needs some down force at the front and it doesen't make it better not having the under belly splash pan.

twoforty, please post some photos, you might have something i like.

Thanks
Chris

Spoiler I had, spoiler I have and spoiler I've not tried yet.

I think if yoou could take a little off each you could make something special.

Not spoilers again after 22 years of z ownership still have no idea what to fit, the first pic in twoforty's collection a grp replica of the original chin spoiler is ok as far as looks go, & the one in the 3rd pic is as fitted to the fourways cars, there is another spoiler available that Rahail sent me some pics of it is very similar to the one in the 3rd pic but without the square corners at the bottom in front of the wheels it does look really good. The only other option would be custom make one as fitted to some of the Samuri cars some of them suited the car very well.

Plenty of options :












but I don't have any problems - is it courtesy of suspension set-up ?

2fast2z,
The S30 had a tendancy to feel light at high speeds and this was sorted with fitting a rear spoiler...if yours is a US car, does your car have, or have not a rear spoiler....?

 

[2fast2z]

Ian, no i do not have a rear spoiler and i prefer not having one as i like the car without, reading other forums a front spoiler should also help, can't say what is true since i have no experience.

twoforty, "spoiler you had" don't know what to say, "spoiler you have" really hard to see in the photo, "spoiler you have not tried yet" by looks the best for my taste, looks a little as the Xenon type, even that i haven't seen it installed.
My car has the US front turn signals, so i assume the spoiler have to have the cut outs for those.

I have been looking at the Xenon air dam and the BRE spook, both US options, any experience with those? and is they to come bye in UK?.

Isn't there also a euro type of front spoiler?

BTW, i have a new and complete MSA type III body kit, but i have decited to go another route, i might let it be up for sale, if some one is interested let me know.

Lower it an inch and that should sort it,see my gallery,i have the standard look spoiler all in one and my 240 was about an inch lower no rear spoiler or front spoiler,never had a problem with that

 

[2fast2z]

That standard look spoiler also looks great and yes you have a spoiler.
BTW great looking wheels, what kind are those and what size tires is on.

How can one buy a Z in that ugly looking color ?
Here is a photo of mine, see the difference at the front ?

Don't take it as i tried to offend you, i thought it was the same color as mine, do you run spacers on those wheels, or do they come in the right offset, they have a nice lip.

c'mon m8

Doh, isn't shipping the biggest expence in having a Z !!!, i hope you will reconsider about sending it, somehow it have to be with a trucking company due to price.
If so let me know your asking price.

Chris - your car is way too high !

Here's mine and no, it doesn't bottom out or rub the tyres :

 

[2fast2z]

Sean, that car is not lowered, it is slammed.
A little to low for my taste and i will never get out and "up", just thinking about messing with the motor makes my back hurt.
