LS3Z Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I am searching to understand what options we currently have for the front air dam for our S30 cars. When searching through older posts on this topic, many reference vendors that have closed shop, pictures no longer shown, offering no longer offered, etc. There are also several vendors that have had less than stellar reviews about fitment, quality, and business morals. Below is a list of what I have found. Lets bring all of our collaborative knowledge together and create a single point source for all offerings in the market in mid-2017!

With that said, it seems that the Type 1 Ducted is the most popular as there are several different suppliers of them. There are others that seem very similar to the type 1, but have subtle variations.

Are there any other front air dams available on the market in the US?? Edited June 20, 2017 by LS3Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS3Z Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 If anyone can tell me how I can get my hands on this air dam, I would be eternally grateful. My favorite that I have seen thus far. Judging by the super safe and proudly worn jumpsuits and PPE, I am guessing that this picture was taken in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamo3 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I love Type 1 without air duct from MSA. But it's not proportional. I need to fix blinker hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 There will be CF & FRP versions of the 70 to early 74 Kanimari vented front spoilers. I have a brand nib piece that I'll be sending Paulo,@ Retrospect, so he can make a mold.http://www.kaminari.com/nissan-240z-260z-air-dam-frp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up settling for a POS MSA one that's garbage. If you do find it, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelsonian Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 WWW.Commonsnapper.com sells this front airdam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 This is an airdam from the Subtle Z kit from www.ztrix.com. It flares out to match up with their flared front fenders so most likely not a match for stock bodied S30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
