Rear Spoiler/Wing - 1990 300ZX

The iconic "whale tail" rear spoiler (96030-30P00) distinguishes Twin Turbo Z32s from their naturally aspirated siblings. When hunting junkyards, target 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX models regardless of engine variant—the hatch mounting patterns are identical across the platform. Inspection priorities: check the pedestal bases (96031/32-30P01) for stress cracks where they meet the fiberglass wing, as UV degradation causes delamination at the mounting studs. Verify the LED brake light (26590-30P00) functions; replacements are NLA and retrofitting generic LEDs requires resistor mods. For installation, use fresh silicone at the hatch mounting points—water intrusion destroys the inner hatch structure. Torque the 10mm nuts to 8-10 ft-lbs max; overtightening pulls the threaded inserts from the fiberglass. Paint codes vary by year (KH3 Super Black, AG2 Aztec Red most common), but the textured black pedestal finish is consistent 1990-1996.
