HYDROLOCKED my freaking engine.. i live in belmont shores in long beach and i drove through a lake/puddle that went over my hood almost.. it was inevitable and i could not avoid it.. anyways i'm sad and thanks for the support for the z owner who drove by as i sorted out the aftermath of my car.. the water was up half the door.. we'll see what insurance does, but i doubt i'll have a 350z in a week.. i'll keep my fingers crossed.. anyways heres a before picture:

that sucks man...i always thought your z was one of the best looking. i hope everything works out with the insurance.

so far from what i'm getting is that my car's gonna end up totalled.. it's on its way to my dad's body shop and we'll see from there, but they were saying that going by the height of the water, it will be totalled.. i'll keep you guys posted.. this sucks!

Not trying to be an ***, but what possessed you to try to drive through water that deep? Better to back out and go the long way home than risk this. I hope comprehensive covers it for you.

sorry to hear man. I hydrolocked my car last year but somehow the engine survived and its still running fine till this day. Is your whole interior flooded? I remember they had to replace the carpet in mines and what not.

LBC TRD

it was a one way street in belmont shore, and the puddle didnt look deep till i got to the middle of the intersection when the water was up real high.. if i could have avoided it, believe me i would have..

yes there is water in my cabin. how did they fix your engine?

I also went through a puddle the last storm we had (like a month ago)... it was inevitable...

a huge puddle right after an exit... (you can't reverse into the freeway... nor should you break.... other cars are exiting as well... ) The Exit was closed off later on that morning...

i had no choice but to go through it... and surprisingly... it survived... my carpet was soaked a bit... but not too bad...

HOPE THE RAINS DONE...

well they just pumped out the water supposedly out of the cylinders or some ish. I forgot the exact details but I remember my compression #'s being weird.

LBC TRD

did your insurance cover it? and do you remember how much it cost?? i'm just worried about all the electrical stuff being damaged, not to mention my engine.

wow with that kind of rain there's no way i'd be driving. the electronics on my moms car got screwed up after there was a lot of rain and she unknowingly drove into a huge puddle of water. if i remember correctly it was something like 2k to replace and i dont remember if it was covered under insurance or not.

That is unbelievably deep. Only the SUVs barely survived it seems.

I thought you sold your wheels?

LBC TRD

yeah, i sold the rims, we were supposed to swap this weekend when my new ones came in.. then this happened.

What is the name of your insurance company?

make sure to put your stock intake back on if any adjuster comes to look at it. as soon as they see intake mods, they deny coverage if it involves a hydrolocking issue.

Mother nature has been really rough on you guys it seems.
