Re: [1st car] 1987 Nissan 300ZX 'naturally aspirated' '5speed'
that sucks, man. what's the story? do you know who did it? did you report it to the insurance company?
that's a bummer considering the car is in near mint condition.

it was a few weeks ago, im assuming it was a hit and run kinda deal because i came out of work one day and there it was.
didnt report to the insurance company (cars and insurance is in my dads name, who is in another state)
the crease is going OUTWARDS, so maybe dry ice or something will pop it back?!

That really sucks. You should do a hit and run claim or something.

yea i actually was lucky... i wasnt even going fast around the corner, but the road was EXTREMELY slippery. i was lucky that i didnt seriously damage the body or (god forbid, something mechanical..!)
anyways, i bought a K&N cone filter with the 3" steel tube...a special at thezstore.com for only $75
anybody have experience with installing one? it seems really straightforward, but id like to be sure not to mess up one thing
pics or vids would be awesome...

bought K&N Cold air Intake and installed it,
the old stock Air Box and Resonator (and filter) were dirty as hell, all in all a good replacement
gives it a nicer booming sound when revving past 3.5k
