i also would want to know where to get a wing like that. the closest thing that ive found is the Xenon rear spoiler but its not the same thing. I was thinking about maybe getting the BRE spoiler of the Z's and maybe modify it but it would be easier if someone knew how to get one for our cars

I wanted to know the same thing. I was also thinking of using the BRE 1st gen spoiler but I talked to J (JfairladyZ) and he said he would look into making one out of carbon, I think that would be the way to go.

the picture is from a japanese fairlady Z mag, but all it really says is the 2 liter model had something about overdrive, and the headlight covers, rear wing and garnish are aftermarket : /

Looks like a modified spoiler designed for a S30. I'm going to get around to that spoiler but when all depends on how the winter treats me out here in VA. So far it's been non stop rain for the past week or so. Forcast says pretty clear for a while to come. Quick question though: Do you like it like the one above or do you want it to stop right at the outside edges of the hatch?

I like the one above.
I'm thinking S30 (240Z) factory Fairlady Z spoiler basically. I was going to put that on my 280ZX 2+2. The angle of the 2+2 hatch kinda limits you to spoilers that look good on a 2+2. Earlier we saw someone posted a 2+2 with that spoiler and I like it.
But, since I have that spoiler on my Fairlady, one of these days I can test fit it just to see how it set and how it looks.

'one of these days' never seems to come for a lot of things for me.

Did you guys notice the rear center panel says 200ZX ?

Yeh, like the one above, but wider. It looks like a S30 one to me, too narrow for the S130, makes the car look narrow too.

I think that spoiler is perfect, how it just barely goes past the hatch. I have seen ones were it only goes over the hatch and it looks good but not quite as good as that. But the ones MSA sells don't look good in my opinion they are way to wide.

Not in the S130. They ran the L20E and in some the L28 or L20ET. They still used the L-series untill the Z31. The Z31 did get the RB20.
But I've never seen the L20/L20e Z-cars called a 200Z or 200ZX. They are just "Fairlady Z" in Japan.
that rear center panel is almost like an American product they have adapted to their own Z's engine size. Like if we had one that said Fairlady Z on it...

I don't want one though. Too much plastic...

the z31 variation was the 200zr, i believe the r designates a stripped down performance variation, where as the X in zx means a more luxury oriented car. it had all the luxury options removed, including power windows. i believe it had the stiffest z31 suspension, and a turbo rb20det with a top mount intercooler, hence the hood scoop.

Yeah I think the RB equipped Z31's were basically a limited high performance edition. Probably had something to do with meeting a sales quota to use the engine in racing or something along those lines.
