wow, another wreck post

[Johny5]

i feel so fawkin stupid. one out of the select thousands of manual s14a's and i wrecked it :hammer: :bash: my front end is fizucked. the 2k2 ford explorer was unharmed. what a world.

[aznpoopy]

sux man... how did it happen? :(

[Dousan_PG]

details details!

[Johny5]

some stupid shit going on on the side of the street with a cop, guy in front of me isn't looking in front of him and slams his brakes, then there goes the 240 right into him. sucks too because i had those wheels on order, probably gonna have to cancel :( it looks like rad support got pushed back, grill is a solid goner, lights are totally in multiple pieces all over where the wreck happened, hoods bent in half, bumper scraped good. i'm thinking nismo lip, new 97-98 cover, bumper support, rad support (either hammer out or weld a new one in since this is the second wreck this ones seen) usdm kouki lights (jspec ones with bigger projectors aren't worth the price diff imo) and considering cf hood and paint matching it, or just getting a new hood, whichever is cheaper, oh yeah, and most likely new corners and the random bracketry that gets broken in these kind of ordeals.

[Dousan_PG]

aah that sucks! Iknow youve been planning some goodies

but gotta remember the importance of SPACE CUSHION!!!!! that's key. on highway and on streets. drive defensive! space cushion saves the car. at stop lights, make sure you can see the tires touching the ground of the car infront of you

space cushion!!!

sucks to hear!!! :(


good luck!!!! on fixing it back up!
zenki face w/ kouki back is hotness. :)

[CoasTek240]

yeah i've learned the value of that space cusion. much needed. i drive defensive as hell now. i dont wanna wreck my baby anymore. hope ur luck turns out better.

[Johny5]

i hope it does too...

i mean, what could be worse than this?

[Dousan_PG]

SON OF A

it was a white kouki! Those are the sex!!!

go zenki face w/ euro headlights haha
that's what i say
repaint it
it would be super hot

haha
you can sell the USDm lip for agood price
i think zenkis are the hotness with the right stuff. mabye after you sell that kouki business you can get some zenki sideskirts and such...hehehe

zenkis are sweet when done properly

anyways...hmm good luck finding kouki parts..tough tough these days!

[Johny5]

i agree with you, zenki face, euro lights, yellow fogs, usdm lip is fawkin sex. but its gotta be LOOOOOW. and im still rollin cheeese eibachs and most likely am definitely not gonna be able to afford the coilover setup i'd like to to make it desirable zenki height. but we will see, because the kouki lights and jspec grill and misc crap add up fast, and zenkis are just junkyard common.

[Dousan_PG]

yO maybe a used set is in ordeR? ill let you know...ill see what i can find..no promises or anything

i think zenki is hot. i love them. id' get it over a kouki as long as i could have kouki taillights! :)

sell taht USDM bumper. lip and corner lights and whaetver else you can

rock the zenki. :) make sure you paint it kouki s14 white (as the rest of car is) and im sure it would be SOO hot.

as far as wheels. hmm. k1s are good, i see those for sale, maybe something cheap will popup. as you know, good deals and luck usually happen at the worst of times!!

i so hope you can get it up and rolling decent looking sooooon! :)

[aznpoopy]

don't forget you have the option of the ever popular (although not so mentioned anymore) s15 front end conversion. just a thought if u feel like something different then what you had b4. personally i tink going zenki would be a waste of a 14a but i guess u'd save alot of $$$. euro headlights do like nice though.


yeah and what dousan said. never tailgait - not even in slow traffic. ur trusting the guy in front of you not to brake like a retard; never trust any other driver on the road besides yourself. drive defensively and give yourself time to react. took me 2 near death incidents in my old car on the nj turnpike to learn that... and i wasn't even tailgaiting or driving aggressively. normal following distance is often NOT enough.

[Johny5]

s15 conversion is money though, i need to somehow stay within $1500 here.

I've done worse to my S14 :mad: .

[240Driver39]

hmm...why not just repair it back to what it was and call it a day...sounds like a better plan to me...why change whats already a nice car...white kouki..mmm...

[psychedelicbeats]

seeing this makes me cry.... *sniffles* but i couldn't help but to notice zenki euroheadlights... errr pic?

[BadMoJo]

I would say fix it back to what it is... a white kouki that drips SEX!!!

:D

o i didn't kno j00 were on budget. ^.^

i just mentioned the s15 conversion b/c if u were going back to s14a that would be pretty damn expensive too. so if you felt like a change, now would be the time. but budget? zenki front for you!!! good luck man ^_^

:stupid:


Return it back to the way it was......

use http://car-parts.com as your aid for finding used parts

use http://www.nissan-auto-parts-dealer.com as your aid for finding new parts


Your bumper doesn't look trashed.....

[Johny5]

holy crap that second sight ROCKS. thanks so much for the link bro!

[Johny5]

wow goddamn, with all the money you just saved me on the hood and headlamps and core supports alone i can buy a new oem bumper and oem front spoiler. thanks again man, can't tell you how much this site saved my ass!!!!

[SimpleS14]

Your welcome :)

Why do you need a new bumper and lip?


btw....I hope you added shipping cost to the final price. For some reason it doesn't cost alot to ship that 50lb metal hood. :p


One more thing....the front lip is on backorder if you decide to buy it from that site.

[Johny5]

i talked to him about shipping and i can afford to pay it. its around $900 total for the hood, both housings, and all the core support upper and lower (figured i'd get lower out of the way) i want a new bumper because mines dented and saggy from the previous owner as he has also had a front end collision in this car that wasn't repaired properly. in a way i'm happy it got wrecked in the front again because now i can do it right and have a non-wrinkled upper core tie and everything can be properly paintmatched under the hood.

i also just bought my jspec grill, ooooh it looks so pretty :D so happy happy happy :D:D:D
