Got into an accident, hit some trees

[574-240sx]

Well I totalled my car tonight. I slid on the slick road at about 50. It wasa a sharp 40 degree angle sweping turn. I slid right then left and caught it. As i caught it i was lined up with some trees. Lock the brakes up. Didn't do any good on a frozen road. Hit the trees at about 40. The trees were anly about 2-3 inch in diameter, but they still tore the car apart. The frame is bent. The car is totaled. I'm ok. Here is a pic. I probably will be parting out the car. I'll start a new thread in the buy/sell/trade. Nick

damn man that sucks. always sad to see how many rwd cars start to pop up in the junkyards when there's rain around.

[SilviaDET1]

OUCH!!!!!! Damm, that sucks man...... That 240 is dead... damm. insurance?

Thats the exact reason I stayed home tonite, its bout 40-50 degrees out, its raining hard, fog, etc... screw it, i bought a bottle of burbon and am well on my way to killing it. The cars parked, I just drank a toast to your ride man.. R.I.P. may it be reborn as a skyline...

[nismodave]

Glad you are ok.

What is with everyone wrecking their 240s lately?

[stillmatic]

It's because of the wet/cold surface and lack of experience. I almost got into accident earlier too and my car would've looked worse than that if there were any cars behind me. At least you're okay, though.

[240oz=drunk]

man i dont know how your coping. depends on how much you liked your, damn i wrecked my 92 300zx on a cold *** still night at about 45 the airbag came out and i got a black eye. still to this date the worst day in my life. My baby was gone....and looked about like yours. Im sorry man, ill smoke another bowl and hope your car is in drifting heaven

I loved this car I did all the work I just started to buy parts for my turbo install this winter. I had liability so I won't get anything for a totaled car. Start from point zero again.

I caught the car but when i did it was too late due to the speed and conditions. About 3 feet to the left was a 2 foot diameter tree. I guess in the end i was lucky. The accident happened 400 feet from the indiana border in michigan. I crossed the lane of traffic when i started to slide lucky there where no cars and I didn't injure anyone but my poor car. The speed limit was 45 untill you got to the turn then it went down to 30 or 35. Dam that suck loosing a car you spent all this time on. Nick

[NeverEnuff]

[574-240sx]

Well, could have been prevented if.. you didn't have bald tires... but i feel ya.

I was about to put the car up for the winter this week due to the bad tires but, this happened. I was planning on buying rims and installing a turbo kit this winter. Now I am looking for another car. Nick

Well I'm looking for a 95-99 maxima 5-speed. I might start pulling parts off coming spring because its cold outside. I don't want to freeze. Nick

[Hellion240sx]

if you decide to part the car out let me know.-J30 LSD-Apex'i N1 Duals-Front & Rear strut tower bars-Sportlines-Electric fan-Bald rear tiresif you decide soon enuff we mightbe able to help each other out peace

[s86d]

damn since you had parts on the way salvage what you can and finish what you started. dont let your hope on a turbo 240 die...

[crzycav86]

Get another s13 and use the parts for it. Don't give up!

[Chingon]

I'm sorry to see one go like that....but just wondering...why do you guys mess with curves in the rain? I don't even cut corners at 35 when taking a curve when wet. Am I just a wuzzy or is it common sense? Don't think i'm patronizing you...I just don't know if there's something wrong with me.

[s86d]

all is fun until a pissed off tree jumps in my way

beep beep Im driving here go find a honda to mess with LOL

Crazycav is right also if your motor is ok buy a 89 for cheap and put your parts on it

[574-240sx]

Well it was frost on the road. When i went out to the road to look there where only 5 or so tracks trhrough the road. I just wasn't expecting for the back end to come out. I held it but i straitened out and i was pointing at a tree.

I do have a 89 but i just don't know if i want to go through all the work. I may swap the KA24DE in and the suspension and diff. Also i might sell the car with everything to make up for my losses. Nick

[Bandit240]

Damn that **** sucks. this is why im glad i cant drive my 240 anymore. shes nice and safe at home

[Repo Man]

Nick, what road were you on? That sucks man. You could drive that damn thing too. There are plenty of nice 240's for sale in the b/s/t right now, so keep yo head up!

[srlakin]

Dude that sucks so bad........i'm sad that i never got to see it:(

I'm pretty close to where you live so whenever you need a few extra hands in the garage call me up:ylsuper ( email me for the number [email protected]). I also got a buddy with a '90 h/b.........(he is also looking for a new blower relay, so he will buy that off you) we were planning on going to the junkyard maybe this Sunday.

I'm now working at Discount Tire on Grape, so if you want a good deal on rims/tires then hit me up:icesangel

[Dano]

[fiznat]

damn man sorry about that, at least youre okay. were you wearing your seatbelt and all that?

...I'm definetly interested in those N1 Duals and the VLSD if you're sellin your car too...

[SilGuy]

sorry about your car. I've been sliding my car lately and i agree...its been kinda bad in the midwest. But i've been practicing in complete safe and wide roads....where i give myself a huge margin of error. If you're gonna part your car, let me know..cuz i'm looking for some sportlines rite now....payce

[Onizuka]

Wow that really sucks man, im glad your alright...

After seeing my freind lose control and slam his car into a concrete wall because of dry rotted tires (on a dry road) i will never let myself or anyone i love use dry rotted tires. No offense but saying "i was going to..." doesnt mean anything, ever time you get into a car with dry rotted tires you are playing a very dangerous game of russian roulette.

Live and learn

[574-240sx]

Nick, what road were you on? That sucks man. You could drive that damn thing too. There are plenty of nice 240's for sale in the b/s/t right now, so keep yo head up!

I was on gumwood just before you got to redfield road. It was just past the indiana state line by 400 or so feet. I was heading back to indiana. It was the first long sweeping curve. I still have a 240 i just don't know if I want to go through all the work again. I lost it coming out of the turn where the car gets light, bald tires and slick road didn't help. I just wasn't expecting my back end to come out like that. I corrected it but it was too late.

[krazy skwerel]

Man glad your ok. My back tires are bald as well, but we havn't had bad road conditions down here. I would definatly put all the parts into another 240 if I were you, but a 95 maxima would be a fun car to have as well. Not to mention the comfort. Good luck with what ever you do.

[Altiman94]

the ka24de swap in your 89 would be a good thing to do, if nothing else, swap the de into the 89 and then sell that car wtih all te parts and part out the 92.

[colies97~240sx]

Nick Im glad you are okay, thats the most important thing. It does REALLY suck that the car is totaled though. I remember seeing it at the meet in Indy, very clean. Best of luck with whatever you chose to do with it or if you decide to get a Max.
