510 Spook airdam

Anyone ever modify and install a Datsun 510 Spook airdam on an SA? Thought I'd read about this somewhere, but can't find it. Thanks.

I was thinking about having something similar in principle designed for my car. I'm pretty sure it would look good if done right. You could probably modify one of those or a similar one to fit.

That's a SelectMaz airdam. I would prefer to have that, but it's a little pricey. The Spook is my Plan B.

From SelectMaz...The airdam is $446 AUD ($288 USD), and shipping is well in excess of $700 AUD ($451 USD). This doesn’t include insurance. Goods will be manufactured after a 50% deposit is taken. Manufacturing takes 2 weeks, and shipping takes 4-12 days.

I've requested the dimensions from the manufacturer to see if it has a chance of working. We'll see.

The name of the thread is o the tip of my tongue. But I know the thread you are talking about and the poster used the front end of a Datsun or old Toyota truck rather than a Datsun 510.

I've read the truck lip thread - not really what I was looking for. Curious if anyone has used the 510 dam.

Nope thats not the right thread either altho ive also run across that thread to.
Ive been searching still but im not sure i saw it on this forum any more. Ill keep looking i know for a fact i saw this done cuz i suggested to jimboII that his airdam could have been for a 510 after reading it.

Maybe some of the old school rotary heads will chime in and help. I think you should do it either way i know its been done and looks good imo and atleast if you do well have a new thread to search for if someone else decides they like it to.

It'd be kinda wackyraceresque, I guess.
