TRS,

the spoiler only is bolted at the outsides of the car and there is no support in the middle, at high speed without bracing the spoiler will bend and eventually crack. i used two flat aluminium pieces, bent them into shape and bolted them on the inside bottom of the spoiler and then back to the original valence, this works fine.

Keep em' coming guys, this is just starting to get interesting....

:classic:

But the question I have is which construction material is better, fiberglass or poly?

where does the jans vinter spoiler come from???

i have the motorsport airdamn (urethane) on my 78 with the brake ducts.. i like it, made a world of difference at 90mph..

here's the story about how the 'spook' got it's name....

way back in the day, when BRE racing first got ahold of the Z's, they all noticed the front end lift too, and some other aerodynamic tendancies of the car. but, back then, there was a rule that in the class they were running, they couldn't use any front mounted aerodynamic modifiers. so, to bend the rules, they made that little chin spoiler thing and cut holes in it. they ran ducting to the brakes. to justify its placement, they said it was simply to cool the brakes, and that was it's sole purpose. they also didn't call it an airdam (which they knew it really was..), they called it a spook!

thought maybe i should attach a pic of the airdam....

dozer,

From what I can see where the light is hitting the car in the garage that is a great looking color! Do you have another pic of the car in full light so I can get a better look at it?

pictures, of course i have pictures!

the color is one used by GM in the 90's.. dark cloissone blue pearl. sharp looking color, even without being rubbed out yet!

damn! hit the wrong button! ok, here's a nice pic of me racing...

mines a pretty common front spoiler in australia, they are a bit fiddly to fit and need some bracing, but easy enough to paint. its made of a pretty thin fibreglass. most aftermarket spoiler places have them. i got mine from fibre sports in taren point, sydney for about 150 bucks i think. have a look at my avatar

Hi Brett. Is that your car in your avatar? When I started looking for a Z I found that picture somewhere on the net and it was my background for about 3 weeks. Thought you'd like to know:classic:

Nice spoiler by the way. I was looking for one exactly the same as yours for a while there but the bare look grew on me. I still might get one one day though.

Cool yeah thats mine! the pictures from the concourse day at fox studio's with the z car club of sydney. i go through a spoiler a year, its just a little to low for a standard size curb:stupid: i dont mind the bare look either but its nice to have brake ducts. i wouldnt mind the jans spoiler though!

I 've been wondering about a front spoiler myself. I Need one! Does anyone know what the (can't spell it right)

Kamuri (somthing like that) front spoiler comes from.
