Default AHH I can't believe I did this...

hit a curb backwards all the force was on the right rear tire, what all do you think is broken, the body didn't touch the curb surprisingly. I know the sway bar is gone, what else? control arms? all the other wheels are fun, not even curb rash.
also somewhat ridiculously the passenger curtain and seat airbags went off...are those replaceable without a new seat?

I think you should hang out with Ko8eBestEver. You guys seem to be proficient in the same areas.

My vote is on "drifting" as suggested by post #2.

Even if we gave you our thoughts, given a good description and working pictures, wouldn't it be better to just take it to a local mechanic or nissan dealer and have it thoroughly looked it?

As far as what could be broken, start with the nut behind the steering wheel?

don't forget the W bar that connects the two tires together. One of the 14 bolts might have broken off

sorry I get my toyota and z mixed up

but still, you need to take a look at that Z bar and make sure none of the bolts broke loose. More likely with the Z bar though seeing as how there are 32
