Jared Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Listed on this site as a ZXR wing, but doesn't look it, especially since it has a wiper cutout. Anyone have a picture of it on a car? http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt81970/pd2109135/280ZX_R__280ZX___JDM_REAR_SPOILER_TAIL_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zx 2by2 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Looks better than the original ZXR wing to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 It's not a ZX-R wing, since the ZX-R didn't have a rear wiper for one thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayteezee Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Here are a couple of pics of my ZX with the wing. I purchase it on Ebay a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Since there are so many questions on wings, air dams, and body kits, a lot with old/broken links and pics, could we get a moderator to make a sticky thread for nothing but S130 wing, air dam, and body kit pictures?

Tony D Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The gold car DOES NOT have a factory ZX-R wing. The blue car (ZX-R) that hoov posted DOES have a ZX-R wing. NO ZX-R came with a rear wiper. Note the difference in the outer ends of the wing as well: the ZX-R wing has 'little flips' whereas this wing is simply a flat appendage. It is not a ZX-R wing, period. It is some aftermarket FRP piece, nothing more. It doesn't even look like a ZX-R wing. And as for 'looks better' the ZX-R wing was not as many things in the early 80's was: "For Looks"... It was a homogolation special to get a problem on the race track solved, rear lift. More appropriately looking forward to Turbo Power, rear traction caused by rear lift. It wasn't a 'looks good' addition. It was a 'we need this and it has to WORK' addition.

woldson Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Probaly also why the wiper was nixed... Looks like it could cause a problem of air flow to the spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Pictures of my original uninstalled 280zxR Wing i bought from a member here that i just got a few days ago. I had been waiting for sometime now to finally come across one its actually very light, ligher than i expected about 15lbs. I just need to find a wiperless hatch or take my wiper off and hope water won't get in after i install it. Pictures he had posted before i bought it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
