good luck

good luck,

isn't there a vent on the differential and top of the transmission? if water got in there - could also mean very bad things down the road.

Yeah; OP, I don't know what bullshít insurance you have, but you need to push for a total loss...

Typically for flood damage the water line has to reach the a-pillars to be declared a total loss.

Where do we pull these "facts" from?
My Maxima had water go up a bit less than that AND it ran fine after and was still declared a total loss... $28,700 was the payout

Yikes I don't think I would want it back after seeing that.

That's all in line with what I expected.

Really, once dried and re-oiled, if there's a problem, it's because either (a) the engine was turned over before towed with water taken in then or (b) they somehow manage to leave water inside that either causes hydrolock or causes oil separation and thus damages the motor when they start it up.

Otherwise -- you just have to see about water damage to interior.

I think this will all work out -- it sucks right now, but you are pretty well covered all the way around. Again, good luck!

I think that's all sealed. It would have to waterlog so much that gaskets or seals were affected.

Hate to hear about this but hopefully it all works out in your favor.

One of my friends works for as the service manager for a dealership. The adjusters that he deals with typically won't total a car until the water line reaches the pillars. If it were me I'd be out there with the water hose filling it up.

:tup:

Agree.. Write this one off as a total loss....Thats' why you pay serious money
every day - week - month to insure your 370Z..If your insurance company
deems this a repair..........Find another insurance company...................

Anything that Lotus can do, Nissan can do better with the Z. Look at it as an opportunity:
