I crashed the Z Saturday and I need to know where to look for some replacement parts. I have not had it on a lift yet so I know this list is going to grow. I need lower control arms for the right side(front and back), front bumper, and probably some more suspension parts.

I was going too fast around a familiar turn near my house and the rear end jumped out. I turned into the slide too much and the rear end jumped the other way, and I ended up sliding into the curb. Both right side wheels are toast, but I already have a replacement lined up for them. I need some suggestions about finding the suspension parts I need that might be cheaper than buying them from my local Nissan dealer. Would I be able to find those types of suspension items used? Would that be a smart thing to do or should I just suck it up and buy new OEM replacement parts? I am paying for the repairs myself as I don't carry full coverage on the Z.

 

man, i really feel for you. you're about to get the roast of a lifetime from these my350z members. good luck

 

Besides a dealer or a junkyard, here's your other option...

Your local junkyards should be your first stop after actually getting the car on a lift and seeing what you need.

 

let me no what all u need im parting out an 03

 

could it be....members...helping? without flaming?

i applaud you guys

 

im not like that man if i dnt like it i just go about my day lol

 

you are one in a million.

 

here are few sites that will be cheaper then the dealer for OEM parts http://www.courtesyparts.com/ http://www.everythingnissan.com/

 

i hate it too when people just flame its annoying

but anyways it would kinda be hard to find at junkyards because who throws away a 350z? hahaha but websites should help and ebay

 

Check the regional forum. One of our members (Gooey?) has access to junkyard parts.

 

If the OP said he were drifting around a tight corner yo, then he would be flamed. Not the case here, he straight up said "i was going to fast". I can respect that

 

A thread with no flame damn is everyone offline or something? That really sucks dude i would say look up some local junk yards in the phonebook. Or try ebay or my350z marketplace are a good place to start.

 

That sucks man, good luck to you.

 

Yeah, and the amazing part is that davidv has already posted...and his post doesn't make me want to punch him. What's going on today?

 

you definetly need to get full coverage on the z

contact nissanunlimited. He is member here on the forum who has nothing but z and g parts.

 

Yeah, I am amazed that I got soooo much help in one day on this forum, and I didn't get flamed. Thanks for all the help, because I am really bummed about the accident. FYI. I am a 40 year old guy and my Titan is my daily driver. Flame or no flame I am still feeling pretty down on myself about the wreck. I have two young ones at home so I am glad I gave up the Aprillia for the Z.

Dave- I did start looking in the Forum's marketplace the day of the accident.

I think I have enough suggestions already for me to find what I need.

Thanks

Sorry to hear that man hope you find everything you need and save some money in
the process =\
