Dude get some aftermarket rims as 1010tires.com they are local to you and a lot cheaper. For 2K you can get some nice 18's or 2600 or so some nice 19's lots of choice there.

I would be having a small time nissan garage do the work. Find out what suspension parts you need them search through www.car-part.com for the replacements. Thats a wrecker search engine that covers all north america, but you can look just in Canada or BC if you want. You will find a car with pretty well all the doner parts you need. I'm sure a stock suspension system could be had on these forums cheap too cause lots of guys goto full aftermarket stuff. I just threw out my stock suspension that had like 50k on it in the garbage cause I had no use for it.

I'm sure you could fix the damage for 2500 bux without the rims and get some nice rims for the car and be happy.

 

So why is your insurance not involved? Do you have insurance?

 

That's what I asked a long time ago. I've had my SpecV slide into a curb in the snow. Insurance fixed AND gave me a new set of rims because one was damaged and they were discontinued.

 

I did a very similar thing with my 350, but not nearly as bad as you since I wasn't going as fast and I was controlling my drift (to a degree, obviously).

My insurance would only let me get 2 wheels on the damaged side, which sucked.

But heres what I will say is wrong:

Your suspension on that side is done
Your suspension on the other side is likely jacked up
You probably will need a new steering rack and other steering components
I can't tell from your pics, but you may need new brakes as well

For me, I had to replace the entire side, knuckle, bearing, everything. My steering rack was fine, but I did have to replace the tie rods.

Insurance is wonderful, especially when your car starts sliding randomly when you were driving home from the grocery store

 

+1000

 

hahahah

hope you're not planning on buying wheels from the dealer, aftermarket ftw! and we have good ones

but damn man im surprised if you hit it that hard almost completely parallel to the curb that it didnt bend something in the suspension, GL with it

 

search through www.car-part.com for the replacements.


Does any body have any good feedback from them?

 

Daiyum! Curb was nto goign anywhere. Sorry to see your Z got bent out of shape.

 

a few people were correct before in suggesting alcohol was involved... I've been talking with some of the best lawyers in the province and they have all been fairly optimistic on my chances of beating the charge...

wrt my insurance... they will only pay for the damage if i am found not guilty of the impaired charge. however, even if that it the case, I'll have to pay for the repairs myself and be reimbursed after the trial date (if it goes to trial).

 

You were drunk, wrecked your Z, and want insurance to pay for it all?


You're REALLY 62?

 

of course i want insurance to pay for it. wouldn't you?

and no i'm not 62. I wanted to get some helpful feedback before the thread gets flooded by smartass cliche responses pertaining to young drivers and why we shouldn't drink and drive.

 

So how old are you? Come on... you can tell Hraes...

 

i'm 23

 

You said it all right there.

And no, I dont drink and drive either. After having a good friend kill himself when his RX-8 flew off the road and rolled several times (alcohol involved), you can really see how little it takes for things to get ugly. I have no sympathy for those who drink and drive.

 

Oh come on... Be honest...

 

sorry about your friend. I certainly done condone drinking and driving - I don't know who would. way too many people drink and drive. i certainly won't anymore. i'm just trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

 

^ I hear ya. I think we've all been in those situations before. The best thing is to learn from your mistakes (which it seems you are). Some people dont get a second chance.

 

23 sounds about right---you can see theguy in the reflection in one of the pics.

 

Damn! My bibulous question/statement was correct!!

Can I give myself a +1, +10, +100??

So, 23......well, let's get that that AGE thing started again........

 

That's part of the problem with our legal system today. The people that can afford to hire an expensive lawyer usually figure out a way to "beat the charge." Those people then just go out and resume the same behavior. Personally, i think if you were drunk then you should take your punishment like a man. Either way i hope you learned your lesson - next time you might not be so lucky.
