sorry to spark up this thread again guys.. but I have a few issues with my car and since I have still not signed any release papers I need to know if this is something that might be related to the wreck or not and how I should proceed with the repairs

Here they are:
1) CMC or CSC is going bad - Read a lot about this and i know its very common on the Z's so I didn't think it was from the wreck but it is an issue none the less.

2) Hissing noise when the car is at idle and light acceleration. I have berk HFC's (bought them used) and FI exhaust. This is not normal. I have not heard the car hiss like this before. I know there should be a hissing noise when rpms are decreasing but what about when you're sitting at idle or accelerating in first and second gear?
Nissan tech said its from the left side close to the HFCs and headers but cannot visually find it until he takes it all apart.


3) Clicking noise in the rear - again common problem, nissan fixed it for free but just putting this out there in case it returns.

4) This has nothing to do with the wreck but I need an oil cooler as I am seeing temps of 245-255 continuously. Do you guys recommend 25 row or 34 row for the texas heat? ( I DD my car but I drive it like I stole it)

Aside from that everything is great..

Any suggestions on the hissing? Possible leak? Need new HFCs?

Thanks for the help guys.

I'm hoping the OP is OK? But I'm on a 100 for 100 streak here... I've been guessing correct for 6 years straight. Especially when I see descriptive words like "negligent". When I see accident threads... It's now a game for me...

Let me guess? Did the accident occur in the Land where 70% of the people are total idiots behind the wheel and should still be on horses cuz their IQ is too low to manage driving a car???

Did it happen in Texas?

I am good, this did happen in Texas, Irving to be exact. Hit by a driver who was on his cellphone and ran a red light.

34 row oil cooler with MoCal thermostatic plate. The extra hiss may be due to an exhaust leak.

None of them are related to the wreck.

You're probably right. I just got paranoid when I heard hissing in idle and Nissan tech told me it's from the left side under my car..
Makes me feel like something got knocked loose in my exhaust system during the wreck.. Or I have bad HFCs.

I feel your pain, man. Just got my 350Z destroyed by a construction truck. They don't know what proper following distance and brake lights mean where the driver of that truck comes from...

Sorry to hear that man! Are you okay?! I swear it's so hard to have nice things with idiots on the roads nowadays. They took responsibility for it, right?

Default Diminished value

Hey man i was in an accident in May with my Z with 25000 miles on. Some ahole turned into my lane and caused me to smash into their car. Damages were $5700. I went after diminished value since my car was new and accident free. After 3 months of dealing with state farm i just settled for $4,750. state farm kept low balling me with $2,500 offers. Dont know if this helps or not. Good luck!

I went through an independent adjuster and he is helping me with the process with state-farm. I will be talking to them next week so I am hoping for the same settlement if not higher. Glad to hear yours got worked out man. I'm close to the final settlement and it's been 2 months..
