Default Wreck #2

Posted this on the 350z group on Facebook as well.

In need of some advice, seem to be in over my head on this one.

Long story short, the z went over a 6 inch curb head on. I'd say 15 to 20 mph. Blew a rocker cover gasket putting cold motor under load when trying to pull her out.

Rocker cover gasket replaced, motor running strong. RIP front bumper, Bent front two rims, and steering/alignment out of wack (obvious given). What i don't understand is why the vdc and slip lights are still on. Even after changing the wheels and a half *** garage alignment. Can this even be caused by alignment issues? Did vdc get messed up with the car stalling in gear under load?

Idk I'm lost on this one and stuck using a phone for research.

Any help, thanks guys.

ABS sensors up front may be damaged or were knocked out of position. I'd check there first...

Don't forget the wheel speed sensors on the rear diff as well. Curb hopping like that probably damaged the entire harness and could explain why the VDC and slip lights remain on.
