Hey, I hit a deer, and caused a bunch of cosmetic damage as well as busting my radiator.
Here are the parts I need. I was wondering where the cheapest place (including shipping) would be to get these parts online. Keep in mind I have a 97 200sx se (1.6 obviously)
- headlight asembly (preferably projector headlights or any aftermarket ones)
- hood (painted black preferably)
- grill (or suggestions for cheap 'homemade' options)
- radiator
- rad fan (I dont know if it's really busted yet)
Thank you so much for your help. I searched the posts a bit, but I want the most recent information. ALso if there are any places that give discounts when ordering multiple items, that would be awesome.
I have 600 USD and i can put everything in the car myself.. hopefully it's enough money! DAMN DEERS!!!
Lemme guess, the deer just looked at you and walked away, lol, thsoe bastards are strong.....i hit a guard rail, did the same damage, kinda. I'd check ebay or something, maybe matrixracing.com for the headlights if not ebay
get a carbon fiber hood from Motivational.net and get the rest of the parts from junkyard! as long as your radiartor isn't leaking... who cares unless you plan on racing or already having overheating issues!
Thanks Ill check junk yards for the hood, grill and rad fan, but I was told that it would probably be a good idea to get a new rad, and I want the projector headlights which would be hard to find at a j-yard. Can you guys tell me where the cheapest place to get the lights/rad? On afermarketparts.com (I think that's the website) the rad was 109 and the lights were 120 something. THe hood was roughly 110, and the grill (stock) was under 50. Are these good prices, or is there somewhere I can get these parts new for less money?
Thanks agian, owning a nissan has been lots of fun (well except for hitting a deer!)
oh and the deer flew pretty far.. It was a small one. the good thing is that it jumped up when I hit it so there is absolutly no damage to my front bumper.
Trust me dood, i've rear ended people three times (two times were damn mexican doods in Toyota Tacomas!!!!) and the radiator has been bent in each corner... just make sure you're not over heating and not leaking and you can spare the expense for a later day.
oh the radiator is definitely leaking. I lost a LOT of fluid all over my driveway. Even had the neighbour come over and bitch me out for 'polluting the environment and his neighbourhood.' Obviously being 20, I told him to go fuck himself. Not sure he was too pleased with it. Oh well the bastard ran into my dad's truck the other week and got charged with reckless driving. Guess he was just pissed about that. Good thing is my dad can't say anything about me telling the guy off acuse he did the same thing when his truck got hit.
Well just to give you guys an update. I ordered the radiator and headlights (black projectors).. I still need a grill and hood, and the AC compressor may be messed up. There is one small hole in it. Oh well I dont have the money to get a new one, so if it is busted Im just gonna have to live with it. I took out the old radiator and banged out the hood so it fits all in nicely (well as nicely as a banged up hood can fit). If anyone has a grill (stock or otherwise) that they dont need (color: black) I would gladly buy it from you. I was also thinking of making a custom grill with some grill mesh,but Id need some input from you guys to help me do that. Ill post some pictures later on today to show the progress.. man I fucking hate deers now!
The radiator support looked fine to me. Everything has been bent back into place reasonably well.. Im just heading out to take some pictures of it.. Ill post in a few minutes with the pictures... I bent the hood back into place as a temporary fix (until I get a new one from a salvage yard). I got the black projector headlights and I just ordered some clear corners.. Is there anyway I can black out the clear corners so they look decent with the black projectors? Anyway, Ill be back in a few.
Please help me! I hit a deer!
