Hopefully it makes it. Anyhow, I'm in dire need of an CF Amuse front bumper. I haven't searched in the forum yet, anyone know selling a ready to go one right now?

Oh man that makes me cringe! Glad youre safe though. I just had the amuse kit (with an S-tune spoiler) put on mine and id be devastated. Glad to see another amuse kit in San Diego though. Hope you get it back soon!

Damn! I am amazed anyone could go 25k on those stock tires and was likely the cause.

I know most members here go about half that much before replacing them. I replaced mine at 18k and I do a lot of highway driving and they were pretty darn bald.

sorry to hear man. hope the repairs go smoothly.

Was there any suspension damage?

If so, it'll never drive the same.

Change those tires guys! Sorry to hear about the accident OP. at least it isn't totaled, and looks easily repairable. Some scary stuff though.

This is what happened to me after I hydroplaned on the interstate. Spun a 360 and was hit by an eighteen wheeler...

^what tires and how many miles? Ouch

was on hankook v12's and they were in need of replacing. proof bald tires will get in you in trouble.

Something about Z's and the rain. . . I made a very slow turn last year in my Z (i had a 350Z) and ended up fish tailing and smacking the curb. Light damage (curb rash and broken rear control arm) but still. The Z does not like rain.

throw some conti DWS on there and it'll change your mind.

IMHO I don't think it is the Z itself that doesn't like rain, but the fact that we put on high performance tires that seem to have the rear tires wear out quickly for some reason ;)

It was raining/snowing today and my Blizzaks were very solid. Also, when I put on tire from now on I will always put on a complete, new set. Sometimes the fronts will last twice as long as the rears, but to me that is dangerous in the Z.

Exact same thing happened to me, i had 20k on my tire, went on freeway to my gf's house, car feels like its floating on its own to the right, immediately got off on the next exit and ordered some new tires...

I've driven plenty of "sports cars" in the rain and have never run into this problem. To me, it is ALL about the condition of the tires and not the vehicle itself. If there are no grooves to displace the water, the tires are actually floating on top. This is a very valuable lesson learned.

I am very anal about my tires, so at the first sign of low treads, they will be replaced.

OP, glad you are OK and like others have said, the car can be fixed. Hope to see you a Z-Days.

oh sh*t allan...sorry to hear what happened

Tire condition is very important in any situation. I got 26k outta my rears, but I wanted to see how long they would last being the stock tires. I was impressed with them, but will not be pushing that far again. I have Hankook V12s on the rear and the sock Advan Sports on the front (getting bald) right now, but will be replacing all 4 with new Advan A08s when I get back to the states. If you are going to do spirited driving in a moderate capacity, I would stay away from the V12s and get something more aggressive. They don't stack up well against the Advans, unless we are talking about price!

OP:

How did everything go with insurance and repairs?
