so after 5 years many many dollars, countless hours, may races, and countless good times, she is gone..

got into a accident last friday. i was driving comming back from dinner around 9:30p.m. and a truck decided to cut me off not looking , i only had one way to go into the gaurd rail, hit the rail, air bags deployed, couldnt see sh*t truck drove off, bastard didnt stop.. I have only libality on the car so im F*. Strut tower moved towards the motor about 2"..

I dont know what to do. i would love to fix her but i think its to far damaged to every run good again.. I cant find a clean S14 shell in NY to swap the parts over to..

life sux this car was what gave me a little happiness..:cry::wtc:

[TeamFRAT]

My condolences. Hope you find something new man. Bigger and better things

[Zach-sr]

Down but not out man. Find a shell swap parts and continue with badassness.

[enkei2k]

sucks to hear...especially closeby NYC. how the hell can he not see you? headlights on, pretty sure your car is loud with exhaust and what not, etc... at least you're ok and able to type this out.

[srstan]

keep your head up. you'll find something

[rob22]

dude no way.!!!
i freakin loved the way your car looked with usdm aero and battles.!
Hope your ok.!

[blueshark123]

damn sorry to hear

[HPKMotorsports3]

i hate ppl like that... especially cabbies they dont look dont signal they jus turn into your lane like it doesnt matter if your there... so dude in an del slo did that to me the other day twice i was so close to throwing a spark plug at his pos... sorry on your misfortunes bro didnt know you personally but that was amazing piece of art you had there +1

[Persona]

That sucks to hear man. I cant imagine if someone did that to my car. Keep your head up!

[TougeLove]

this is why i will only swerve to a certain point, after that, i will pit maneuver him/her so at least someone else is at fault. glad your ok though, all that money into it and you dont have full coverage????????

[99maxgtr]

i don't have full coverage, i'm going out on a limb and saying most people don't.
that sucks bro, i'm from jersey so i have to deal with a lot of terrible drivers. samething almost happened to me but good thing i was in my lex with a working loud ass horn to honk the shit out of the dumbass trying to creep into me without a signal...
atleast your ok, cars can be rebuilt.

[turbo2nr]

Thanks for all the positive comments.

im ok i walked away with no major injuries.

yea it was a wierd position i was put in, i didnt want to hit the gaurd rail but it happened.. i did honk and my car is loud but i wasnt going fast only 40mph or less, it wasnt on a highway just a local road..

yea i know all that work and just have libality im kicking my self..

I really want to find a shell, but maybe this is a sign to move on its been lots of years and time and im getting older.. it sucks idk what to do. I dont think ill even make that much parting her out if i went that route.. wish i lived in cali shells are so easy to come by

[Dr.Fate]

Part that thing out! you can make a little cash off that car!!
seats,skirts,tranny,and d etc............

[1on1]

im glad that you're ok. same thing happened to me, just a stock coupe, i was making a right turn and the semi decided to turn. scraped my driver door, fender, and ripped off my bumper.

it's the holidays, someone might be selling a shell and hook you up.

i crashed my s14 last year, 360 on the freeway, and i was able to find a rolling chassis within a week.

whatever you decide on doing, you will be happy with your decision.

[bikrman2]

I feel your pain man. I'm in upstate NY. Shells are around just keep looking. Getting older doesn't mean get out just mean more refined. Keep your head up man. It'll come around

[upsdude]

sorry to hear about your car...but you're alive so that's what you have to remember...also this is the exact reason i have full coverage on all my cars. you pay more for the coverage but you never know what's gonna happen.

[4-20sx]

damn sorry to hear bro! still looks like she can be fixed though. doesnt look TOO bad.

[nathanong87]

really sorry to hear man. just glad that u are ok. cars are just things.... honestly. best of luck in your future endeavors

[Daggering]

Damm Such A Nice S14 Too

If This Help's I Know Some-One Selling A S14 For Cheap (Was Hit In The Front But Not Hard)
And I Also Know Someone Selling A S13 Coupe Shell...
I Can P.M You There Number's If You Want.....

[ROOSEY]

RIP to a nice s14. sorry to hear about this man id probably cry my eyes out if my car was in an accident. live around the new york area ill keep my eyes out if i see any shells anywhere.

here's a little hope.

[epics13]

damn man this really sucks but the turth of the matter is thats just how some ny drivers are. man from the looks of it the car was beautiful. Hopefully you'll find a shell and would be able to get going once more.

[Krusty_s13]

sorry to hear man. but dont give up on it. look for a shell, even if you have to drive out of state.

[asobanai]

there are many running/non shells in cali ive seen from like 1500 to like 2500 stocky stock.
i got into an accident a while ago it was mostly radiator support, bumper, hood, fender, upper left rail a control arm, tie rod. the lower chassis was not impacted, thus fueled my desire to get it running again. I would say look into it deeper as far as the body work goes, my guy would work miracles. keep your head up. ive seen a car a friend of mines fixed, that mf was wrapped around a pole.

[s14freak93901]

cars can be replace, people can't. glad your ok.

[wh0aitznic0]

Sucks that it happened bro. I liked your car alot, you were one of the few east coast people that knew about fitment before all the canibeat bullshit blew up.

Time for bigger and better things? If you decide to part out, I'd love to let some of your KA-T parts live on in my hatch. :)

[Magical Trevor]

Sent you a PM bud...

[tricky_ab]

Hey man, sorry to hear about your car :( At least you're okay. Cars can be replaced, people can not...

[turbo2nr]

lol thanks man that means alot, ive tried to keep it clean and classy.


everyone here made me feel alot better about the whole thing. i was in depression for a week straight before this,

still un certain what to do or whats best but i am looking for shells.

i will probably sell my current ka-t setup, as if i start a new shell im re-doing everything and then re installing it, i have a almost fully built ka-t in my garage that ive been working on for years so i can make use of it.

its like starting a new relationship out of getting out of a long term one.. im just deciding whether to stick with the s-chassis or move on to some thing else.. only other thing id consider is a 350z...

[Enna]

I'm in the same dilemma as you. My S14 got side swiped last month. But I figure why give up on what you had, if you have a lot that's salvageable then keep it going.

[Darkvillin]

just want to extend my condolences as well. i know what you are going through. i decided to rebuild my zenki into a kouki (i know its still a zenki). just try and chill for a little while and see what life brings. you may be able to find a shell. your car was one of the sexiest ive ever seen. i have pics of ur car as my screen saver at work. i wish you all the luck in the world.

[s13superstar]

oh wait, your that guy that lives next to henley road around there? wow! glad your okay... 2 people crashed there s14 in ny this week

[VNG704]

Sucks. Sorry that happened to you. Best wishes for you though.

[dudermagee]

That sucks man
thats why I always get full coverage, I learned my lesson the hard way as well
good luck with what you decide on doing

[Cool Guy McJones]

Sorry to hear! What are your next plans?

[Mishkin_707]

try to pull the fender off door can be replaced, fender, bumper headlight, might not be as bad as it looks from the outside

[zo0d]

Sucks to see another east coat red kouki get taken off the road like that. I always had an eye out for yours in particular, mainly because it was soo similar to mine.


350z sounds good, you can get one for 10-12k and a nismo for around 25k. My brother works for nissan here in NJ, fyi.....

If you decide on parting i'd take the headlamp combination switch with foglight option, passenger side fender, and misc. interior pieces.

[Kouki_Love]

shit that blows man, atleast your ok, it could have always gone worse. i am ure you will find a good shell homie, swap everything and keep doing work. good luck

[heyitzalan]

OH MAN!!! NOT ANOTHER NYC ACCIDENT. i'm glad your ok man, we never met before, but i've heard from you asking me for parts.

[s13 @ fullboost]

wow gay your car is really nice no way to pull the frame straight??

[doomviillain]

I can sympathize with you but cant imagine how you feel. Material things can be replaced but not your life. In time you'll figure out what to do, but I really hope you find another s14 shell cuz I liked the way yours looked.

And sorry about your car man, I hope things pick up and get better for you.

[turbo2nr]

the way its looking i think about taking a break from the s-chassis,


really thinking about sellin my parts cut my debts (aka student loans) and walking away.

maybe come back in a year or two once i get a real job and have my own place then build one the right way..

spoke to many people got many different answers.. this one seems the most logical and grown..

sux tho illl be miserable for 1-2years until im in a s14 again.. :-(

[WIKID S4TEEN]

First off, I'm glad ur ok. But I hate hearing, this is a sign, I'm geting too old.
Fuck that bro! Do what ur heart tells you!
This is a hobby. Every man needs a hobby to keep them sane,
whether it's females, booze, cars, you need this balance.
I'm kinda old, don't ask, and I don't see me selling my car anytime soon.
Another thing you must realize is that ur feeling down right now.
I don't know about everyone else, but as for me, everytime something shitty happens to me, I feel like giving up. I always give it time, then stand up, and keep going!
I suggest you give it time. Then decide what you want to do, with a clear head.
I wish you the best on what you decide! Good luck!

[93nismo]

if i was closer id tell you to bring it by the shop and we could fix it for you homie. have you looked into how much it would be to have it pulled?

[DS562]

a moment of silence for her.

[95s-14]

It sucks to see a fellow s14 go down like that ,hopefully you can do something to resurrect it, but if you decide to leave the s chassis behind let me know when you start to part it

[spooled240]

aw man this bummed me out, I'd find a shell and swap things over..it would be a new start with a blank canvas :)

Thats probly the best thing to do
I would hold on to any rare parts you have though, worst case you'll get more for them if you decide to get a different car

[angels12]

god t hear u ok, your baby can be fixed i was in an accident abouth one month was a rear end and i was soo freaking mad, that my wife stay away in that moment. Right know my baby its back, soo yours could be fixed too, keep u head up, the great of all u are ok.

[bermeo240]

no way dude....dammm this was the nices kouki i seen in ny and it had a ka-t...which made it better ...sad to see it gone man......

[blueshark123]

Well I felt like giving up on the car scene when my car got stolen but i realized i had noting else to waste money on so i slowly began to rebuild everything. If u do partout i might get some parts so let me know

[90white240]

Thats a tragedy... Hopefully things work out for you bud.

[Slikk Logic]

aww maken me nervous cuz i jus got my kouki couple months ago n i love it.try to talk to a body shop n see if the guy will doo side work.thats wat my boy did for me wen i spun my civic into a guard rail.$450 enitre front brand new parts wit rat support and paint.. or go to macco.theyre really pretty good

[S14DRFTX]

dude post this on ifx.... give me a call sorry to hear this man ...

[KAs14slider]

Dude, that really sucks. I know how you feel. This is how my s14 looked like a few months ago:
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f357/kas14slider/wreck.jpg
I got it pulled and then my friend did a tube front for me. Now the car is all back together and everything is fine. It didn't cost me that much either. Maybe like $1400 to get it back on the road. Of course I don't know how much more your frame is tweaked but who knows, could be slavagable.
My old s14 got destroyed too a couple years ago by an idiot in a 350z at our local drift event. My car was parked and he understeered right into it. My door and quarter was crushed in pretty good. All he had was a dent in his front bumper. But good luck in getting it fixed or getting something else going.

[turbo2nr]

thanks every one for all the kind words

i had a body guy come look at it. the drive side strut tower moved apx 1.5" towards the motor, the top of the upper frame by windshield has been pulled in, he said its best to cut off from the windshield and get a replacement from another 240 and re weld.

its about 1500 just to fix the front alone , not including the rear quarter pannel and door.

at this point i dont know it just really sucks. looks like cost to repair my chassis is around 3k and no guarantee its going to be 100%..

not sure if i want to go through the time and effort to swap over parts to another shell. i plan on starting my masters soon and i work full time.. so idk what time i would have.. i also dont have 3k to spend on a shell i actually dont have any cash extra to spend on a chassis right now..

i want to keep it and alot of people have been trying to help with shells i appreciated the help. im just trying to weight my options and try to make the best decision.

[dudermagee]

you can get a zenki shell for 3k easy

[chris_240sx]

That's rough man, I hope you get it all figured out.
I've seen your car around for awhile, even back when I was on ka-t.org.
It was always clean.

[S14DRFTX]

its really isnt that bad man ... I say bring her back to life or buy a zenki and convert it kouki.... I hear for ya man....

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/4543/30xiwjr.jpg

[whitenoise]

dude, u have ur local car fam, call if u need anything . we'll get u back on track soon enough.... ur ok and not hurt , thats all that matters. we'll fix her right back dont worry. until then take it easy ..

[240sx123$]

With every closed door opens three new ones. Im sure youll find a way to turn this into a positive.

I like this

[pahaf]

nnoooo, i loved that car.

[seanforney]

Do you have un-insured motorists coverage? Since they fled the scene, and if you have proof that they in fact ran you off the road, with that coverage you should be able to get it fixed. Imma insurance agent, contact me through PM if you have any questions on what to do.

[s14sport]

Whats up man? That area that you had your accident on rt 110 is so damn dark! They need some street lights there.

I drove right past your car crashed into the fence and didnt notice until my friend pointed it out, thats when we came back to see if you were alright...

IMO, get a zenki shell fo' cheap!

set aside a weekend, buy a case of red bull/four loko, swap that shit over to new shell....done!

[tqstarburst]

glad your ok,and very sorry to hear,another kouki, RIP

[cameljoe2001]

The most important thing is you are ok. Don't give up on what you love. You are never too old just more experienced. Look at me, I am about to start my first project soon and I am getting up there in age.

[Darkvillin]

what other platform are you looking to get into after this? just curious...

[turbo2nr]

so i have 4 choices

1- find a clean s14 chassis- transfer all parts to
pro- i will have a 240sx back but still not close to where my car was
con- it will take extra cash to get it to where i want it. The big thing is the time

2- sell this s14 and parts and get another working driving s14 and start over
pro- again ill have another 240sx but still not one close to how mine was
con- starting from scratch with a old car when i have a chance to get a newer car

3- selling all may parts and paying off debt
pro- debt free for now! able to put a downpayment on a newer car and pay monthly
cons- no newer car on the market that really interest me for under 25k..
MAYBE E46 m3 would probaby be the only car i buy other then a s-chassis for under 25k..
-still going to have a "stock " newer car ill probably get bored..

4- keeping my current chassis, fixing damage( cutting out front driver side upper frame and replacing it with one from a doner, getting rear over fenders, new door, and going balls out ( tubbing, possible cage, motor rebuild, new turbo setup, ect)
cons- $$$$$ and time.. as for right now i dont think im in the place to do something like that, as im not in the job i want to be in, and i will start my masters next fall...

so im torn right now. it suck, my birthday is on sunday im getting older and i feeling like crap..

[funes]

best of the best for you in this 2011

#2 or #1 FTW

[alkemyst]

I think some truckers just pull out to fu'k with us. I was coming down a 35 MPH road and some big rig dude put his hand out at me and pulled right out not stopping at his sign.

I saw he was going to do just that and I slammed my brakes. I ended up right under his trailer.

The crossing guard saw the commotion. He wanted to just drive through and I couldn't back up.

She got it fixed and I was able to back up a bit.

I called the police on him, I reported him to the "Am I driving OK" number.

I doubt anything happened.

[JosiahP]

honestly dude i would do #4 go balls out man! dream build! at least that is what i would do if i was in your place!
anyways good luck with whatever you choose to do

[redline240sx]
