Welcome, but that's one hell of a first post to lead off with. Before you buy anything, I'd take a long look at this particular car and figure out how it got in this condition. Does it have a salvage title? What other damage does it have beyond the front end? Do you have any idea how much a NISMO front bumper and splitter run?

Well the radiator support, the radiator the ac condenser, the aluminum bumper piece... The fans, the headlights, the bumper cover, the under tray... The nismo front brace... Good luck I'll sell you everything you need from an 03 for $1000 picked up haha

Other parts to add: HR hood, front wheel well covers, bumper supports, airbags, airbag trigger and the list goes on and on. You might want to buy the front clip off a parted out Z- it'll be cheaper.
While I understand the wish to get your dream car for cheap, it's never going to be worth what you put into it (even with aftermarket parts). One accident and you'll lose most of what you have into this Z.

Yea the airbags shouldnt be hard to get, what are the air bag triggers? They come with the airbag or is that located elsewhere? Thanks.

2. Ill get my money back on it IF not more if i do sell it because of the low milage
3. Cheaper then a clean nismo even with all the parts being added up
4. I want to learn how to work on a car thats already wrecked. I gain the experience.

hey there thanks for the response and yea lol i know. Its salvage i know its salvaged. Dont really care it has been in a accident. Ive always wanted this car and i will be keeping this car till it falls off its wheels. So i dont reallly care about the resale. No other damage to the vechile besides the front, the outer body, inside, is clean. And no i dont have an idea of how much, But i will not go with oem parts i will go with aftermarket parts for ALL the parts. And if i see a used part at the junkyard i will get it.
If you can only afford this car because it's salvaged... you can't afford this car.
What number car is this? You don't buy a Nismo car and not run OEM parts. Especially the front fascia, come on now... don't be a cheapskate. You have no idea the rabbit hole you're about to dig yourself into. Radiator Core Support Brace
Front Body Dampener
Power Steering Cooler and lines
Nismo Front fascia (all the clips and screws to bolt it up)
Undertray
Paint for said bumper
Headlights
Radiator
Overflow tank
Radiator Support
Fans
Wheel well covers
DASHBOARD
Airbag
YOUR DIGNITY when you find out you'll never see an ounce of the money you put into it if you try and sell because it's salvage. Low mileage won't help you.

bumper and parts, from courtesy = $2180.73. the rad support assembly $526, headlights $1300. then add in paint,, misc parts etc you are in minimum $5k
1.im on a budget. obvious from the start
2. Ill get my money back on it IF not more if i do sell it because of the low milage doubtful
3. Cheaper then a clean nismo even with all the parts being added up if you put shiit non oem parts on
4. I want to learn how to work on a car thats already wrecked. I gain the experience.

The fly in the ointment here is that you want to go non-OEM and dang near everything you need is only available as OEM.
Only thing I see you can get from the aftermarket is the front V3 bumper (or reasonable facsimile) and the undertray. The rest of the underpinnings are Nissan specific, e.g. core support, fender pans, crash bar, fittings, etc.
But all said, if the car is being sold for say, < $2000, maybe a bit more, it might be a fun project to breath new life into it. But seriously consider buying all of the factory underpinnings from dboyzalter then go aftermarket where you can. That could be a win-win. But seriously, don't think it'll be anywhere near the value of an undamaged Nemo. Salvage or reclaimed titles don't lie and if it's already been salvaged, that will follow it wherever it goes.
But, I do see salvage cars on junklist, er, craigslist ALL THE TIME and some poor sap must buy them else there'd be no market for 'em.
