Hello everyone. I have a s14 with an rb25 but it currently does not run. To make a convoluted story short my 240 was parked in front of my apartment when this guy driving Honda decides to lose a gun fight and proceeds to floor his car into my Nissan. My insurance wont cover it, he doesn't have insurance and the girl who owned the car can not be found. So, now I must decided if I should try and sell the car as is or try and fix it. The car ran well before the accident but now I think some wires may be crossed or damaged around the rear passenger. I no longer hear the fuel pump start and when I try to start the car the Alarm goes crazy and the car wont even turn over. What do you guys think? Thanks. link to pics below.

That car is far from dead. Fix it.

If you want to sell it. How much are you looking to get?

Do the American thing and sue and use the money to repair.

Depends on your situation. Do you have another car?? Can you turn a wrench.. so you can fix the wiring and make the car driveable for now?? How the car ran before the accident? Do you like the car enough to get it fixed?? Do you have time to part it out or look for a shell to swap everything over? DO you have spare money to sink into it?? stuff like that. I was in a similiar situation with one of my DSM's, it was tboned but still driveable but i had the time and money to source a shell and swap stuff over. If i didnt have the time i would of tried and sell it whole or part it out. Just a thought.
