i dont know if this has been mentioned yet, but if you get a flat in one of the rear wheels in our cars with a limited slip differential (sports package, 40th, nismo) you should probably take off your front wheel of that side of the car, put it on the rear, and put the donut up front. This was probably a contributing factor in your accident. Having a tire 1/4 the size of your drive wheel on a rear wheel drive car equipped with an LSD is going to mess with your traction.

yeah, but I didn't think I'd be doing anything more than granny driving for a few hours.

Newly laid "asphalt", will yield better traction than the old one!
"But this is not asphalt"! It's a "oily tar slurry" that is used to cover the asphalt, or the old road!

That's messed up how the guy behind you didn't even stop to see if you're OK. That's one of the reasons why I left California. Too many people not giving a shite about others. The first year I lived in NC the wife and I where leaving a trade show when the dude in front of us on a Harley took a spill. I and two other cars stopped. I called 911 while the others helped make sure the guy was doing ok and moving his bike out of the way of traffic.

The important thing is you came out of it OK. The car can be fixed.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. Thats crap. Glad you and all involved are physically ok, though.

Spare tires suck. I ran one on my WS6 one time out of necessity and a 3rd-gear roll on would have it hopping and going crazy. Spare tires for sports cars are meant to LIMP to the shop to bolt another real one on.

the body shop STILL isnt done with my car..

YouTube - Rover 3500 SD1 MIRA 30MPH Offset Crash Test (SOLID BARRIER)

Its Plausible.....30mph is fast especially if you hit a solid object...

seems like people think my car was ripped to shreds. i just crumpled a fender and ripped off my tire(the rim isnt even bent)

anyway, supposedly they're gonna be done with my car this week, but they also said they'd have to finished October 20th...

Good you are OK!

not mentally, it's been almost a month and a half without my baby.

Glad you're ok, sucks about the car though. >_<

Even at 30 mph, a car crash can still do devastating things. I'm in the military and I've seen HUMMV's get f**ked up at 30-40 mph, when hitting stationary objects. (And I'm not talking about explosives, I'm talking about just normal objects.) They're also considerably beefer then a 370z is.

Also, was talking with a Nissan rep and they said that if Nissan has to fix/repair a part, they just swap it for a new one, which might be why it's so highly priced. But I don't know any more about it then that, I've been blessed to not have had to go through an accident, yet. (knock on wood) Been in a few accidents but always as the passenger and not the driver, nor my vehicle.

Anyways, glad you're no worse for the wear, best of luck to you and I hope they get back to you in solid condition with minimal paint difference.

Happy to buy your calipers if you part out the car :)

Yes yes be honest... just remember - I could be your insurance agent!!

+1 I've been considering it for awhile. I always call for a tow, I would never drive on a spare.

I'm interested in what kind of guarantee they give you, when ever you get your car back!
