good god dude you need to part that thing out. the only thing that i can really see is that the intercoolers are missing.

looks like the whole front cross member is bent all to hell? i don't know how you are going to handle that. it would definitely be of financial interest to you to part that thing out. the engine is probably fine, so all that stuff goes for a lot on ebay. if you paid a decent price for it, you can get almost twice as much as you paid for it, or more if you are patient and try hard at it. then you can get a nice car

so i guess i got screw ova than i got the car for 2800 told so you dont think it a fixable car. everything else on the car is pretty ok.

i mean, it is fixable, it'm just always looking for cost efficiency. i'm not an accident repair specialist, so that stuff looks hard to fix to me, so my thought is to part it out.

i doubt ANYONE can tell you whats gone from those pictures, jsut replace everything thats damaged and then try to figure out whats missing from a manual, fsm, chiltons, haynes, ANY source you can find.... but yeah i cant believe you paid almost three grand for that!

yea it pretty sad that i paid that much for it i'm regret gettin it now but yea i guess i'll try to make it work. i'll see how it goes.

eeesh. I just bought my first Z for $2,800. The kid couldn't make it pass safety inspection. (He didn't know about the stop light sensor)

Get a parts z32 get a drill, get a welder and start replacing.

OR

rent/buy a "porta-power" and strip the front end down and bend it back as best you can.

OR

cut from the rad. support forward and tube it out.


on a good note though, your cross member looks fine, its your radiator support that need fixed.

KasbeKZ

he said he talked to the shop and they said they can bend it back but it needs a new cross member. is $600 a pretty good price for all that? or pretty high?

xzAZNloner300zx

yea he said the support for the radiator that there going to need to replace that or something. i still post on here.

the crossmember looks fine to me unless theirs something im missing?

xzAZNloner300zx

well i'm not sure about the cross member because i have not gotten a change to go under the car to see what sup. i'm going to be gettin the frame straighten so that should be a good start to see what wrong and what need to be replace. but for sure i need a new radiator support
