What they will sell it back for is important too.

dayum! $20k worth of damages? I need to see this. I imagine if it was a non-nismo then it wouldn't be that much because there's no fancy OEM bodykit. That stuff is really expensive.

Sorry to hear OP...

I would recommend saving it. Unless it isn't structural, and even then you gonna have to do alot of running around to replace the parts for cheap...if ou have another car (DD) and this isn't going to hurt you to greatly financial then it might not be a bad idea!

I've always said if I wrecked my Nismo I'd keep it...whatever pile of metal it is...

<----*wipes single manly tear from eye*

I love her


Seriously pictures!

Sorry to hear that, my nismo got rear ended yesterday also, I don't know the damages $$$, but my right rear quarter panel got pretty bent up and the impact was mainly from the rear so might have some frame damage. I don't know what to hope for. I agree even after repairs it she won't be the same again. I say start looking for another nismo.

Reference courtesynissan website for parts/price.

I don't know, but does insurance give you anything if you want to keep an fix it up? Cause from the looks of it I'm seeing more of 8-10k worth of fixing to make site it functional. Expensive things would be brought at a later date, like anything airbag related I.E. Dash/steering wheel airbag/seats/roof airbags. If you do attempt it and are mechanically incline looks like an easy fix! If I was tasked with this I would be ensuring it works correctly before looking for exterior pieces!

More pics of the crash bar F/R /core support/engine bay

Does it turn on?

Buy it back from the insurance company for cheap! Fix it up.. It really doesn't look all that bad. You can always get some used or new race seats!
