Well, I was going a bit too fast, and hit curb (to cut the story short I was a complete idiot, I deserve whatever is said, lesson learned)

Here is some damage:

The wheel turns and rolls fine.
Anybody have a general idea of what will need to be done mechanically? Frame damage? I'll worry about the looks of it all later.

Thanks to all.

 

helluva first post. you will def need some suspension components, we can guess all day long but we can't get under it to look at it. i would claim it on insurance and be done with it

 

Yeah you're right. I'll definitely be updating this thread and also updating with all that is done to it / what happens.
It's pretty bad

 

Please tell me it was raining or something before you get flamed

 

not to mention fender and side skirt work....

btw when you post, and you want a pic do this [img]link of pic[/img]

 

my guess is understeer

 

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yeah the fender is pretty screwed, but honestly that is going to be one of last things I fix here probably though. So worried about the suspension.

And to the above, no, I'm not going to lie here. I was just being an idiot and deserve any flaming that may come. No reason to lie at all. If it makes it any better, yes it was where nobody else was going to be for sure.

 

if you have full coverage , claim it... even if you have the 1k deductible , it will still be cheaper than you will pay out of pocket

 

Not if you got junk yard parts
AND

At least this guy is honest he was being a "Hoon"

 

Dugan? Dugan!

Moving on, wheels for sure, tires, probably control arms. Maybe the wish bone depending how hard you hit. Shocks could be leaking. Sway bar bent maybe?

Overall, this is gonna be expensive.

 

Fenders mashed, door looks like it could be okay with small massaging on the lip. Like others said, at least......wheel/tire/control arm/trailing arm/ball joint/sway bar end link/sway bar?/tie rod end/tie rod?/knuckle itself(if hit hard enough), easiest thing to do is find someone with a wrecked Z locally or willing to ship parts and make a list of OEM stuff you'll need. Buying everything new would set you back a very pretty penny.

 

Respect for not making excuses and just simply admitting you were being dumb. Yeah you may get flamed a bit but hey, at least you're man enough to say it and get over it.

 

Album of damage here:

Need it on a lift to see much more.

And yes, I found a guy parting out 3 350zs, one same exact color as mine if I need anything for the exterior of car. I'll be buying wheel off him most likely and some other parts. I don't want to buy some stuff used though.

 

If you didn't hit the fender, but it is pushed back like that.. you may have some frame damage too. Pop the hood and look for some crinkles on that side.

 

I believe I hit the fender a bit, and side skirt.

Anybody have any ideas on the damage in the album above?

 

Just quick look on my phone, lower control arm, check other ones inner bushing its prob blown out...might as well replace both, endlinks, shocks, alignment

 

Okay, do you have a recommendation for brands on these parts? I don't know a whole lot about these cars. I know once I have parts I have somebody with a lift / shop in family to help me out a bit. I don't care all that much about price, i just want to do this right so it'll drive decent again.

I'll just get all 4 shocks as well.

Did I get lucky with this wreck? It seems like the damage should be a whole lot worse.


Thank you so much for the help.

 

I will look more and get list together later when on my computer

 

I appreciate it, I found a guy parting out a 350z near me, I'll assume I should get fender and sideskirt off him ASAP correct?

 

Got to thinking.. you need to check the steering knuckle as well. Fenders are cheap so i would do that last
