I kid I kid

DatsunFTW: My condolences to your bumper and the huge racoon... I hope you get those fixed quick. Perhaps a new front lip or a whole bumper?

Fman007 · 08-11-2015, 02:46 PM

I GTMatt-ed my truck on the weekend. Quieted down the hatch.

FairladyZ10PG · 08-11-2015, 04:21 PM

Just got new wheels lol (complete impulse buy...)

I'll be selling my g25s soon so keep your eyes open for the classified section

*DE if you're reading this (thank you so much for your offer but didn't want to bother you with my little purchase lol but I'll buy you some beer next time I see you at the cerritos meet

I really do appreciate all your help)

DatsunFTW · 08-11-2015, 11:24 PM

I have had loads of people mention a new front bumper!
But I do love my oem too much :/ I don't have a love for anything else.
I want to replace the some front end parts like the bumper, undershroud (unfortunately the Zspeed got pretty dented in), both fender liners and both headlights since I have to put the deductable down anyway. Geico won't replace my front spoiler

My overflow tank fittings cracked and so I ran around 2 hours away from town looking for a replacement since I need to take a 4 hour trip tomorrow for work for the next 2 weeks. I snatched up the later 2012 expansion reservoir instead of my prior pressurized tank. I had to take out the tube that ran coolant into the heater pipe and plugged that fitting in. Flushed out the coolant completely with some Blue Coolant from the dealer.

Needed to do that anyway since I just hit 60k on the car and it's a good idea to do a full servicing. Tomorrow I am to clean out my TB's, probably going to order some new injectors and spark plugs as well as some fresh clutch fluid. Oil change as well.

I would take my Civic instead of the Z but I would much rather have a body shop take care of me over my course in town since I trust all of the shops there and none where I am currently living.

notice those shoe strings holding my bumper on?

Dude, I'm so sorry to hear about your misfortune. Flippin little furry critters can cause some big damage. That sucks that Geico wont take care of you. State Farm replaced all my oem parts and my aftermarket splitter. They will replace whatever the shop says is on the car. You might want to consider a switch...hopefully you will back to normal and rollin large soon.

They will replace everything but the front spoiler. I have been considering a switch to Statefarm.

FairladyZ10PG · 08-12-2015, 11:42 AM

Sad news.... I put the order in for the new wheels just to find out minutes later that they were sold earlier.... I'm a very sad man right now
