Hey all, I'm not sure if my350z and ********* are affiliated, but I posted up over there and thought I'd post here too for some more opinions/trained eyes:

I'm gearing up to repair a salvaged Z, and as it is my first time working on a Z I wanted to reach out to the community for a few tips. In return, as I make the repair I'll document it into a How-to that should be fairly insightful for many forum goers.

The Z i'm working on was in a front end collision, it's got a pinched hood, and missing a bunch of parts, but the frame is straight, axle's are good and (from what I'm told, can't test it, the engine runs great). My question is, aside from what I'm about to list, do you guy's see anything missing and can anyone offer some good places to visit to pick up some of the miscellaneous parts I'll be needing/fabbing.

Here's a quick list:
- Hood
- Light Assemblies
- Bumper
- (Bumper support and foam isn't pictures but I have it)
- Radiator + Radiator Support + Fan
- Airbox/Filter
- Airbags

In the pictures, the underskirt is held up by a bungee (not my idea), and it looks like the wheel well liner was placed in the front as well as the battery cover from the passenger side strut area. One of the pictures I moved it out of the way for a better shot. Let me know what you guy's think and any problems I'm going to run into as I fix it up.

Thanks everyone!

Looks like an easy fix.
Add condenser and pressure sensor,seat-belts, water bottle, horns, maybe temp sensor, clock-spring, airbag sensor and computer and power steering cooler...
If it is not a base you will need HID lights.
Hood is local because it is expensive to ship.
Pass bag cover is expensive too.

 

Looks real easy, thats a typical 350z front end hit...i got a bumper that exact color pm with offer or just shoot me a text 267-331-0026 i'm in philadelphia so it aint that far and i maybe able to get a truck and meet you half way

 

I've got a slightly used radiator that I'd sell you cheap. Just pm me.

 

Thanks for the link, after re-examining my photos the headlight assembly on one side looks fairly bent, and I found this:

http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=4461

It's the whole front (Headlight brackets, Core support, mounting brackets, Upper rad support). $353, I was thinking about trying to find a junk yard with a rear collision z to be a donor

Here is an update with pics of the whole car:





By the way, how would i go above getting this stuff off to apply a new emblem?













And the goodies that came with the car:
(Impact bar, foam, Passenger headlight w/ ballasts and water bottle) at the very least its a few less things to buy haha

 

^WD-40 and maybe a heat gun will take that right off

and welcome BTW =)

 

easy fix I have driver and pass airbags if you need them eazy fix

 

Update pics got the front core support in the mail, installed most pieces except the rad support to make working with my A/C lines easier for now

 

The airbag module list as part number 28556-cd025 which superceeds to b8556-cd02e with a list price of 734.38 i can prob do a little better but i wont put that out on here you got number hit me up,

hook me up with some itrader feedback

 

The hood is part #f5100-cd0mm $571.84 also let me know

 

Thanks for the part numbers man

I'll let you know if I can't find OEM cheaper, but having the part numbers will be indispensable

 

Don't forget to buy a new dash & airbags.

 

Got the airbags, just need a dash cover now for the pass side... and a new seatbelt assembly + air bag module
