The OEM rear spoiler is not designed to produce downforce. In general, most factory wings and spoilers are for aesthetics only. In the cases of the Z they are functional, but aside from the NISMO they only serve to clean up air flow and reduce lift. The NISMO kit as a whole produces around 150 lbs of downforce at 70 mph.
If you really want rear downforce you need to go to a proper wing like what Mike is running on his Z. But start adding downforce at one end of the car and you really need to be careful that you're not upsetting the aero balance of the car.
