Hmmm. I remember seeing the thread now. So is there going to be a repair effort, or just let it go?
|
Oh hey... It's a repair effort. Bought it at insurance auction. I'm a dealer so after I took my winnings ;) I went and bought it back as a dealer. Let's just say its bad but not that bad. The frame is only damaged around the headlight. Course support bar isnt even damaged and the strut bar never moved an inch so motor is fine. The fender was grinding on guard rail after the wheel snapped.
It's about 2-3 grand in frame work but carbon fiber fenders and carbon hood and amuze kit will make it new. Add another 1000-1500 for used right side for the suspension work. Plus I was going to get new wheels regardless :) Insurances valued my car with all the carbon fiber work we did at 39000. Payoff was 20 grand. :). Bought car at insurance auction for 7-8 grand :). So I'm fine with the build. |

haha nice plug in :bowrofl: Thanks brother.. BTW i still have the bike wheels i want powdercoated :) Okay this was posted already so this is everything I need to buy? Control arm to control arm?? I dont see the SHOCK :) |
wait does the shock sit on top of spindle?
the spindle new is 200 bucks and the entire hub assembly is 150 new. Not going to be too too bad :) plus rotor and caliper. Ahh found the link http://www.courtesyparts.com/370z-pa...8802_8804.html |
The shock is bolted through a hole in the spindle and does sit kind of in a pocket. There is a small bracket that wraps around three sides of the shock that the spindle bolt attaches too.

the suspension parts will be the least of your worries. i would replace the front suspension crossmember as well since it is aluminum unless there are absolutely no signs of damage. all the front suspension in this car is cast aluminum, its very light weight and it is strong as far as typical stress and tension from normal use but its more brittle and can completely snap off like you have experienced.
just email the pic to Z1 or courtesy nissan and have them generate you the parts list you will need for the suspension. inspect that aluminum crossmember for cracks!! |
