At least none of us had to worry about hydrolocking yesterday.....hopefully its not bad today/tonight as well.

Fun night......Was cruising up to go do a photoshoot at tantalus and the unthinkable happened....Not sure how, but my driver front spindle snapped.....Was braking and turning right and my car decided going straight would be more fun....heres the aftermath.

Front bumper is damaged but I believe the crash bar is intact. Steering wheel air bag did deploy. Luckily it was slow speed (roughly 25mph) and I didn't hit a tree or anything. Just went into tall brush. I'm pretty sure salvageable but he passenger rear quarter panel has me worried. Undercarriage is good. Driver front wheel and hub assembly need to be replaced for sure. Suspension looks ok.

Holy .... Bro sorry to see that. Hope u are able to get it fixed.

dropped her off at the shop today. Shouldnt be an issue getting it fixed. Undercarriage was pretty clean, no damage. The left front hub was destroyed and of course the passenger rear quarter panel and passenger door took some damage. Front crash beam was actually still in tact and undamaged. Air bag did deploy though but only the steering wheel one. Driver front wheel and tire were damaged. None of the headlights was damaged.

That is a heartbreaker ... unbelievable actually. It's not like you were doing a 9G turn or something ... When I had my PW 350Z damaged, the shop wanted to paint all the adjacent panels so the paint would match. It added more to the repair cost but was worth it. I am really sorry. Maybe the Honolulu pot holes weakened it .....

Its possible but even still. 25k on the odometer? No reason the arm should give out like that. I think its a manufacturing defect but how the hell am I gonna prove that?

Damn bro I'm sorry to see that, glad you're alright though.

EDIT: Never mind its not the camber arm that's broken lol

Nope, the SPC camber arm held strong. The hub assembly arm is what broke which is flat out amazing.... I asked the repair shop to not throw it away as I would like to take it to Nissan and basically ask "WTF?!?!!?"
