Yeah I was just thinking if it was 4-5 feet over more towards the door he could've severely injured me. I will get checked out soon though. Thanks

I'd hope for a total loss... Sad to see a 40th go, But once repaired it may not be the same again. But I think they will total it. The rear wheel is pushed out of alignment somehow (spin into a curb?) so there's going to be possibility of some undercarriage damage if not just suspension.

If they don't this will be on the Z's carfax and it will diminish it's value pretty badly... You can ask/fight for the difference in diminished value by getting a trade in quote from a dealership and using that as evidence that the value took a big hit.

Yeah I got spun out but not into a curb. I saw the rear wheel poking out as well and was wondering why this was the case. I kinda wish that it is totaled because the car will diminish in value greatly..

Had the same T-bone wreck on my brand new 2013 370 NISMO, check out my profile pics, crash pic are in there. Gotta tell ya, its probably totaled. The frame was warped. They could straighten it out, but weren't sure once straightened, if all the parts would fit/align correctly. They didn't want to take on the task of having to tweak each part to make them fit once the frame was straightened So they cut me a nice check and I bought another brand new 370 NISMO, 2014.

I hear ya. I wish you the best and hope she rides like new when fixed ..

Man, sorry to hear this, but good you came out without major injury! Just looking at that from the few pics that we have seen here I don't think that they will total it, looks pretty far from that point especially without and airbags being deployed. I do wish you the best regarding that, let us know what they do!

Trips · 08-04-2015, 01:56 AM

Wow! Glad to hear your Okay

I would definitely get checked out.

Injuries sometimes may not be apparent at first, But I would error on the side of caution.

If they dont write it off, I strongly suggest that before you sign off and take posession?

Have someone drive it and follow behind them if not you to make sure it's driving straight like it did before the accident.

Make sure you are totally happy before you sign off and accept the car in your possession.

Again glad your Okay and sorry about the Z

Sorry to hear about that, glad you were not hurt. Not paying attention usually means texting while driving these day's.

JARblue · 08-04-2015, 08:52 AM

Glad there were no serious injuries. But I would go to the doctor and get checked out

And if they won't total the car, claim diminished value, fix it quick, and then sell or trade it before the accident shows up on the carfax.

carlitos_370z · 08-04-2015, 09:12 AM

DAMN BRO! sorry to know what happen to your Z

the best part is that you are ok and the Z... well is something that you can replace... Anyway i hope you can fix the car and looks like new again

kenchan · 08-04-2015, 10:22 AM

sorry to see and hear.

the damage doesnt look too bad. will need to see if the frame is bent, a-pillar looks unaffected which is good.

firulice · 08-04-2015, 10:52 AM
