Danohosko Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Hi, In need of quite a few parts, attached a list, The price on the parts list is what i was quoted for genuine Nissan parts (not including tax), extortionate i would say For a UK 05 Zed.

Gudzy Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It would probably help specifying if its for a UK or import (as they have different connections) and which side it is for. I do actually have a spare drivers side headlight for a UK car because I only needed a passenger side light but could only find a pair for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danohosko Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi sorry its for a UK zed, didn't realise there would be a difference in the headlights. I put drivers side in title but guess i forgot in the topic haha, i'll edit it now But anyways yeah drivers side i am in need of, took a bit of a hit to my drivers side and gonna see if i can source parts cheaper than insurance company.

Danohosko Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 A little bit off topic, but its a sad day when my insurer says that i have to take my car to a Honda Bodyshop to be repaired as they are the only place they approve of. A Honda Bodyshop!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 You don't have to take it there, its your legal right to take it wherever you want so if you don't like the look of the place you can find someone else 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danohosko Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well i can definately say i wont be using their estimate. £900+vat for a standard oem alloy (not rays) Stinking Honda's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Flip me dude you've only had the car a few weeks haven't you? Was just thinking the same thing. Been a member since January though. Hope you get it sorted Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danohosko Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Not sure they won't tell me the payout till i give them the go ahead to put her down. Just trying to save as i really don't think its anywhere near £5k to repair, will see what this other body shop say, also i don't really want a write off on my insurance haha And i doubt the payout will be enough to get another Z anytime soon Only 22 and not sure how this will affect my premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danohosko Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Nah don't worry im not quite that bad a driver, just been pretty quiet on here, i only really started thinking about doing bits to it recently, just to confirm, here's my intro thread http://www.350z-uk.c...-be-350z-owner/ It was a shitty mistake tbh, too fast into roundabout, had to swerve round back of other person who left it a bit late to go, hit and went up curb then skidded into side of different car. Please no lectures about my driving though, i've learnt the hard way aha Edited August 28, 2014 by Danohosko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell presidente Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Now i'm no expert, but 5k to fix that?!?! F@#k me sideways! Someone's having a larf. And no doubt rubbing their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danohosko Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Haha i know man, i was having a cuppa t when he rang me, nearly fell off my chair! No airbags went off or anything, have a look at the list of parts, thats £3k before VAT, wheel and headlight is coming up to £2k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Dan it's your Zed and how you drive it is down to you ~ won't be getting a lecture about how you drive from me. Been there & crashed a few cars myself. Have you looked in the for sale sections on here? Shades RS, zmanalex, Clark Motorsport, R35LEE and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting are all breaking Zeds. Pretty sure between all of them you could get the parts you're after to repair your Zed. Might even come in the same colour as your Zed is now too so won't need painting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous aint it, they're not even Rays haha, i'm still pretty confident i can get the work done and parts for less than £2k, i mean, that guy has said something about spraying the L/F Wing, which doesn't even have a scratch on it? I spoke to Gudzy and he's got the drivers side headlight so hopefully get the ball rolling on getting parts tomorrow. She won't be scrapped don't you worry about that!

I woulda thought about 2k-ish aswell at a push. You could get a whole new set of wheel's and tyres for around 900 instead of one normal rim It will suck the now until it's back on the road, but it will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there & crashed a few cars myself. As GM said everyone crashes it's just part of life, could have been a whole lot worse. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/89464-for-sale-350z-rays-alloys-in-white-with-re050as/ 500 for them is fantastic, if i had money i would take them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
