Unlesss the car is lower it should be no problem.

I don't have these. What do they look like?

I'm not an expert but just by looking at the front spoiler, it serves no aerodynamic purpose, I think its more for show. I also scrape it a lot, but I like the way it looks.

Not true. The sport has a lower CD than the base... Not by much but is is lower and lift is better controlled with the sport aero aids..

Thanks dad. I don't have these on my Z

Could it be that the Australian delivered models don't have them. Anyone in Oz confirm this?

They are fitted as standard to the Oz Spec, I had the dealer remove mine before delivery, as they would foul on my drive way. My GTR only just clears the drive by traversing onto the road, and the Z is about a centimetre lower with the plastic spoilers. I have kept mine to be fitted once I get the driveway modified.

Steve, are you talking about the chin spoiler or the deflectors in front of the front wheels? Also what area of Australia are you from? Some one in my area Albury/Wodonga has a GTR and a Z, are you that lucky person.
