Route 21 or 71 I forget. He lists them on yahoo japan auctions.
I contacted him about purchasing multiple units. Responses I received did not make me comfortable with purchasing anything from the seller.86na - BlueZ

I wanted to purchase 5+ units as they are easy to nest together for shipping.
I just didn't receive appropriate responses around quality control to drop that kind of money. Originally everything was one-off for the gold car. While that car is the bees knees I was concerned about how much was completed to make it fit vs production -- and the answers really didnt put any of my concerns to bed.86na - BlueZ

Yeah, at $225 I'm sure any fitment issues can be worked with. I mean, let's not forget people were quick to plop $450 for the Powertrix Version 1 wing and I think this "Route 71" wing looks far better.
For frame of reference I was quoted ~$380 shipped for this wing via various 3rd party shippers (JesseStreeter & JapanDyno). Not a bad price at all IMO. If I already didn't have a different wing..
First time seeing it on a different Z31. -

I've had this pipe dream since i've free flights and a steep FedEx discount to hit japan for a few days and snag a crate of parts to bring back state side.
Plus 'tutes are legal there - just not in the cooter. -

I am too the point if I am going to pay to ship one, I will might as well buy as many that will nest together in the packaging since its mainly flat rate at that point. If it wasnt j-land I may consider buying a single unit. Its different and the 'IN' look right now86na - BlueZ

My main concern are people willing to eat the cost of everything if it ends up being shit? I feel a bit better seeing on another vehicle now, but there really isnt much detail.
Organizing, I wouldn't want to assume any liability -- just my investment into 1 piece. I already had a group of interested people prior, when I was trying to bring over multiple units but I pulled out since I didn't feel comfortable having my name associated with a potential risk.86na - BlueZ

Honestly, I think you guys could buy a total of 3 or 4 combined and leave it at that, no need to get too deep. Hell, even just buying two would make it bargain price and that's compared to wings that are stocked/sold in the US (again, if I didn't already have an Avante I'd buy one). I'm trying to convince a local friend to buy one considering his stock spoiler is warped. That ~$380 shipped I was quoted was air shipping, so those of you with hookups probably can get it even cheaper.
The fact that it's been seen on 2 different Z31s now (one being an zenki 2 seater, the other a kouki 2+2 - not that the configuration matters) bodes well for fitment. It's definitely in my top 3 spoilers for the Z31. 3rd spot belongs to stock spoiler. Top two go to this Route 71 and the Avante spoiler (in no particular order).
