datsunfreak Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 All those are too big and crazy. I know those exist, but was looking for something a little smaller. I just got rid of a MKI Rabbit lip and I liked that one. The MK1 Rabbit duckbill is the best for what you want. Should've kept it. B) Luckily they only cost about $60 new, so... :thumbup: Look for the front lip on the 210 hatch. I just sold mine or I'd post up a picture of what I mean. Nvm I have a picture lol Not sure if it's factory but looks cool Factory yes, but only on a '79, and it's part of the lower valence. You'd have to cut it off and find a way to attach it to the 510. The one on the front of a 720 is similar but a tad deeper. Looks tits on a 510 as well. Could pick up one of those at a JY and have some cheap thrills? :P Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 still waiting for you to buy this back, Its destiny. Not gonna happen now. Dude who bought it moved back to where he came from. Atlanta I think? He moved here, bought the car, intended to stay here, then 6 months later up and moved back home, so... She's out of my life for good methinks... :blush: Quote Link to comment

DaveSpecB210 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hey all! I'm new to the forum, but have browsed around countless times over the years. Been hunting myself a Datsun for over a decade. Finally pulled the trigger on one. THIS ONE ;) I own it now. Pretty sure I'm the 4th owner since Datsunfreak. Not much has changed with the car since he had if. Big change in the works though. Big change. Just the beginning. CA18det Not doing the swap myself. I don't have the fab skills or the tools and my HOA will not allow such things here. But I will be working on the car. Just not swapping it. Luckily this swap is documented on here already so I'm not robbing you guys of to much valuable knowledge. I'll get all the info I can for you guys. I'll post all kinds of pictures. Best I can do. I'm in TN. The car is currently @2j-racing in GA. They race and sell parts for b15 Sentras. I have a Spec V. Joe, the owner of 2j, is the last owner before me. He never found the free time to swap the motor. It was at first going QR. Then at some point he picked up the CA and never found time. I had missed this car for sale before. Then realized 2j had it. Later realized they still had it. So I bought it. He had the motor. He gave me some time to decide if I wanted the motor. Of course I did :). So its sitting in line at 2j behind several Sentras. But its been there a while. Pretty sure I'm next. Should "hopefully" be done with what they're doing for me by March 1st. But you know. You never know. All kinda stuff could happen. Super excited!!! And glad I can bring this car back to the forum. The A14 & Dogleg 5 will be for sale as soon as they are pulled. Should be a couple weeks or three. Car still runs and drives. I drove it from ATL to Nashville and then later back to ATL from Nashville. It just needs more power. Nothing crazy. Planning on keeping the CA stockish for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Funny enough. I have this car's front bumper leaning up in my garage. I hauled off some of DF's trash a while back and it was in there. Me and a buddy were just talking this weekend about which of Datsunfreak's cars it might have come from. I just checked page one and it's a match. You can have it back if you like. I haven't found a use for it either. 1 Quote Link to comment
DaveSpecB210 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Please post updates as they happen. B) Will do. Should be going by 2j soon to go over the build again in more detail and to have my Spec V's rear beam bent into alignment. Quote Link to comment

DaveSpecB210 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I saw this bumped and was about to say i met the new owner on the b15 forum i joined lol how goes it man Hey man! Just anxious to get this done already. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah, im the same way with the 610 look in the 610 section and you will see my build Quote Link to comment
DaveSpecB210 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 OWNER UPDATE...... Been getting put on the back burner all this time by that shop. Long story..... I will skip it. Supposedly on the schedule to do the swap next month. Fingers crossed. Poor car has been sitting at that shop outside since 11-1-14 and part of the time under a damn tree. Yes....coulda done this damn swap on my own by now....again it's a long effed up story I will skip. Lots of life lessons learned from this experience. Unfortunate but it happens. I was confident this wouldn't happen. But it did and at this point just is what it is. But anyway....this car is still around and the plans still have not changed. "Supposedly Soon" STILL to be CA18det swapped. Nothing fancy. Bone stock how it came showing its age. Then a bazillion other things I need to do. Had planned to have most all that taken care of by now but it just hasn't worked out how it was supposed to. At least the hardest part to do on my own will be done. Soon as the A14 and Dogleg are out I will post them up. I can easily ship that stuff from the shop. More difficult if I end up having to haul it home. Quote Link to comment

More difficult if I end up having to haul it home. Very strong engine and trans. Some 1200 owner needs to snap that up. B) Quote Link to comment
DaveSpecB210 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well........this poor car has been sat outside under some damn trees for Way Too Long!!!! But FINALLY Her We Go FINALLY!!!!! So now everyone can see I wasn't bsing. It really has been sat at a shop all this time. Anyone need an A14 & Dogleg? Hopefully much less wait for the CA to be in and running and driving!!! Lemme figure out how to post a picture lol. Gimme a minute. Haven't used the site much since my car has just been sitting. Kinda depressing obviously lol Quote Link to comment
DaveSpecB210 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 For now.....here. You can also follow on my Sentra Forum until I figure out posting pics on Ratsun. I don't have an image hosting account anywhere lol http://www.b15u.com/threads/50401-Dave-s-Dirty-Datsun?p=1111977#post1111977 Quote Link to comment
