Soo the process is moving along should have it back in 3 days or so. And for everyone who wants to know more info, here it is. I was at a 4 way light at night, no one around. So I took the corner and whipped out the back of the car, then throw it in second, car straightened out now im going about 30mph and then car started to shake lose control did a 180 and hit the curb exactly like that corvette in the video up above. And yes my VDC was off.

Wasnt there an issue with the stock lug nuts or something on the 09-10 models? Sounds to me like the lugs were failing and when you whipped the car you loosened the lugs enough where the shaking began and then the wheel basically was hanging by a couple threads....

VERY glad you are all good man!

That was an issue with the locking lugs. Some dealers put the 350z locking lugs on the 370z. I doubt this would have been the cause since it looks like the part where lugs wheel are located remained intact.

Good call... Maybe a broken axle? Its good to see the OP walked away from this!
