she is gone she was totaled today like @ arround 2:25PM after school. when idiots deside to run across the street and the car infront of me slamed ont the e-brake not the regular brake (moron) so I slamed my Z right under his Impala. his car got no damage what so ever. well just the pain of my Z under his bumper and his exhaust looked liek noodles. and well my Z...... honestly U might think I am a ***** or w/e but I cried when i saw how bad she got messed up. luckly the motor was not damaged. but the frame was bent as U can see. alogn with the hood bin bent in half and the rest of my fron bumper fenders center panel radiator oil cooler air intake pipe and who knows what else more... I hate to see her like this. and yeah time to find out who my actual friends are. here's her picture.

 

ahhh man thats really horrible. i hope the insurance comes out alright. are you going to repair or get another Z ?

 

pffft! my dad is cheap he's got liabilyty. so the guy desided nto to even report it to thei nsurance or the police. so i'm pretty ****ed over I honestly dont; know what to do because since i gotta pay for his damage i'm pretty screwed over right now. the reason is I got teh Junior permit not the actual licence. so yah.... and I gotta cough up 1500$ by next friday so I'll take any charity any donations or loans can be made to My pay pal accout. (bardabe@msn.com) I'd really apreciate it. I mean I already ow my soul to my brother who took the blame for me. and probably you guy's who help me through this very hard times in my life. so yeah. I'll tell U more about me alter. but the point is I don't knwo what to do and I got to cough up 1500$ by next friday. and my dad can't help because of his payments and my mom said not to count on her. so I'm open for advice, concern, and consultionatory petry or any kinda consultions. thnx U guy's you guy's are great.

-bardabe live to burn burn to live!

 

Man, I knew I was going to see another thread like this sooner or later..sorry Bard..

 

BUMMER........ it looks fixable.

 

i would ***** myself out...donate maybe my left arm to science or somethin, i mean i'm right handed...dont need it, take a few toes if i can get somethin for them too...what it would take to get my z back.

driving without liability/collision was a big mistake though, with a maching that beautiful...

and dont feel like a puss, i honestly can tell you right now that i too would have cried...

oh, and even though this isnt the best time to joke, maybe i can lighten your spirits by reminding you...hey, at least it was only an NA ya know? lol

 

Sorry for the loss man. Next time it would be wise to get full coverage.

 

Wow...Bardabe that sucks, sorry man.
Hang in there....adversity builds character and makes us stronger!

 

it sux doesnt it....
mine happened at lunch, and i just fell apart in my gf's arms and then went home for the rest of the day.

i hope there will be another z in your life soon...

what are you gonna do with this one?

 

Hey, I'll come down with my trailer to pick it up, you know you'll need to make room for your new one.

 

ok CC U wanna pick it up how much U gimme for it? the everithign is goof exept for the body radiator intake pipes and oil cooler. and the fan cover thing.

 

It really doesn't look that bad though. You need the center radiator support and a few other cosmetic things. You said the frame is bent....I don't think so....it doesn't look that bad. I think it'll cost less to get yours running again than it would to buy something else. Post a picture of it with the hood closed.

You have an oil cooler on that??

 

uhhh. the hood was closed . U can't tell from teh picture but it was bent in half on the car crash. as far as the pics I'll post ton's of them later this weekend my friend is bringing his digital camera over so I'll take em and Upload them this weekend hopefully.

 

ok for the radiator. since I will fo tt soon can I buy a Tt radiator and mount it on the NA/ I know I will have to plug the lines for the rubo's so teh cooling fluid dosen;t escape through there. is it that simple or what else should I take in mind?

 

Man, sorry Bardabe...

And B, why do you keep spelling boyfriend all weird?

 

I was kinda kidding..... ...... I'd bring ya the $1500 you need along with my trailer to haul the car home. I only want a motor, I'd part the rest out. But like I said (& 91zxtt) it's totally fixable. Good reason to get a cf hood.

 

fairlady, dont make me bust out my guns and show you up.

heres your chance to go TT bardabe, and then you can drift even faster in the HKS demo

 

yup my dad and me have a greed. we will go tt, so cc if U wanna comepick up the motor give us a good deal and U can take it. he agreed on the hod. fenders where gonna keep them stock. frotn headlights and bumper are gonna be JDM. alogn with the smoked turnsignals and foglights. now the best way to do a TT convertion is getting a front clip. I can get that. now mckinney motorsports has a good *** reputation on doing RB25DET and SR20's on 240's. U guy's think they can pull off teh TT on my 300Z?

 

and no 91 I thought that the radiator looking thing infront of the radiator was an oil cooler. if that's not what I think it is then what is it? as far as hoods teh Ecort shoulddo teh job

 

let me know when you get it out....... send me a pm.

 

It's for your A/C condensor. I think your doing the right thing Bardabe, as 91zxtt says I don't think the damage is that bad eather, and with a buddie like CC willing to take the engine off your hands, that well help off the price of going TT and getting the parts you need to repair the body. I wish i'd have saved some of my extra parts but got rid of alot of them months ago.

 

Bazed on their reputation, I'd zay they're a zafe bet. But, if they haven't done this zpecific zwap b4, you'll pay more than other Z shopz. I'd shop around SoCal.

That radiator zupport doezn't look too bad........ A piece of 2 x 4 and a decent hammer would ztraighten it out nicely.

 

someone was obviously thinking about the z engine they are buying

where are you gonna get the money for the jspec lights and other stuff bardabe????
last time i checked you had to pay the other person money...still kinda confuses me why, but whatever

 

saving up.

 

Man, but all the stuff you listed is some of the most expensive upgrades you can do to the Z.
J-Spec Headlights- $1500?
JDM Bumper - $520?
Escort hood - $700?
TT Swap- who knows?
OEM Fenders- 200$?

Hope you can save real good pal..
