Default Totalled - #954

#954 has been totalled. I absolutely loved this car and had a blast driving it. A moment of silence please..... Damage doesn't look too bad, but the frame was bent and the firewall had been pushed in...so it is a total loss.

As you can see, I put on Volk GT-7's (so sexy). So, I still have my stock Nismo Ray wheels. I will be posting them up for sale in the classifieds section. But pm me if you are interested. The Volks were all damaged.

I still haven't decided what to get as a replacement.....

Jen

im sorry, that really sucks. Being a new owner of a PPW nismo I can only imagine how you must feel.

Any other mods on the car you might be willing to sell other than the wheels? How much are you asking for the Rays wheels?

Because they totalled it, they wouldn't let me touch it. I wanted to try to salvage the Volks too. I had just put in a new clutch and Ferodo performance brake pads and steel braided brake lines. But, it's all gone.

I just posted the wheels up in the classifieds. Asking $1600.

Hit a wet spot on a curvy road ... went through the median and hit a tree. ouch.

that is lame. sometimes folks are able to retrieve aftermarket parts off of totaled cars as long as it rolls when they are done with it. I've seen people go in and put a set of steel wheels+shitty tires on the car to get their aftermarket ones back.

it is worth pushing and asking them - you must have spent a pretty penny on the wheels!

Well, if you wanted to stay with the Z, maybe make the move to the 370 now?

And just like that, your neighbor's two-tone P.O.S. 240SX doesn't look so bad.

Jen,

Sorry to see/read about your car. mmm..nice to see a "chik" drive a Nismo.

What happened? Send off pics of the un-totaled Nismo. Um.. buy another Nismo or Touring version.
