Shifter sitting extremely low. Broken tramission mount?
Whatsup guys, i'm about to buy a Z as a winter project. I am wondering why the shifter is so low picture below, I know thats not a SSK. .Or is it Maybe someone can offer some insight about this problem, i was thinking it could be a transmission mount. Has this happened to anyone around here? The car is hit fairly hard, frame is straight. Thanks, any insight would be appreciated
Thanks guys

As for pics the front end is pretty f*cked up.
That damn plastic cover is blocking the intake plenum so I can't quite tell if the motor mounts broke and the engine is pushed back. I was trying to judge where the strut bar goes across the intake plenum, but I can't really see ****.
I'm no Z expert, but judging where the oil filler cap SHOULD be, looks like the engine is pushed back, correct me if i'm wrong.
The actual car, yes it's an insurance auction..
It's a 03, both front airbags blown, the frame horns may need pulling as the bumper support is damaged..

I'm thinking I should walk away from this, looks like the engine is pushed back into the firewall, judging from other Z's.
This Z has a pretty significant gap between the I/M and the firewall.

Possible theory, transmission crossmember support thing broke tilting the shifter way down and also tilting the engine back. I'm trying to look at this on the bright side, airbags for the 350Z also aren't cheap. Car is selling tomorrow, i'll try to get into it for cheap. BTW, the car has 105k miles on it.
