Not really. That has poly bushings, not solid.

Insurance company deemed total loss & she supposed to be finding out buy back price.
The car would only be good for part out. In some states, you can't sell a car that's been in a flood. If she buys the car back. Fixes everything that's wrong. She might not be able to sell it later on.

Attention,
More information coming soon...
My neighbors 13’ Nismo was at the beach in Charleston recently & road flooded with water 1/2 way up door while parked.
Unsure details, trying to start engine, etc.....but insurance totaled car & she may have options to purchase it back.
It’s the one that I recently put the Stage 1 clutch w/Cmak + complete fluid change all over.
Z has around 68-70k on dial....only mod is cmak
It's toast, the electrical is done for. If someone tried to crank the engine chances are good that it hydro locked it and bent a rod. If it is in your garage, push it out in the yard and wait for the tow truck from insurance company.

The Z was in the garage, along with all of my tools and a good bit of other stuff. I talked her through backing the Z out of the garage, rushed home, and we managed to pretty much carry everything of much value out.

Still hadn't collapsed so I took apart some of my work bench for materials, braced the 2x4s against the ceiling on 3 floor jacks, and that's how it sits.

Then another tree came down in my yard and missed taking out the power line to the house by literal inches (it hit the line but did not take it out).

Power was out till around midnight. Stuff happens but man yesterday can suck a fat one. Oh and our insurance company pretty much told us there's no way they'd cover that kind of damage since it involves water and movement of earth.

:(
:thumbsdown: Terribly sorry to hear about this J. Hope the repairs are not a horrible hassle for you.

At least the yard is nice and green :tup:

Or after she rebuild it and spent thousands of dollars just to sell it for how much she bought it bk?

I’ll rather move on...lost time and headache is not worth having

How much rain did you get? Seeing on the news that Upper Darby area got hammered.
I'll be doing a deep review of the policy for loopholes. Regarding rainfall, I'm not sure, but we're only about 5 miles from Upper Darby as the crow flies, so I'd imagine a similar amount. Put it this way - driving home, police had shut down I476 and a number of other local roads due to flooding, and I can't recall the last time that happened. That's saying nothing of the debris - rocks and trees - that came down. I felt like I was driving through an obstacle course.

Specialty tool is on backorder for a couple of weeks from pretty much everywhere. Headed to the auto parts store with the bushing to see if they have something that might work. Wish me luck :ugh:

Joby is this your Neibhor’s Nismo? With the sausage smoked wheels?

Carfax one of the reasons you don’t trust them.

Madwi, have any use for some cobalt cutters? I think they can be resharpened, maybe. We just replace them.

No tool at the auto parts store will fit the RTAB. So I guess I'm ordering the specialty tool and waiting for that.

On the other hand, the new starter for the Lexus should arrive at the auto parts store in a couple of hours. I've already got the old one off - it actually fired up this morning after cooling down overnight :rolleyes:
But it definitely needs replacement. Starting it up early this morning, it sounded like an 100 yr old man wheezing for about 4 seconds before the engine finally cranked :rofl2:
