Hello everybody, I have an 2004 g35x, has only 80,000 KM. And to tell you guys the truth, i RARELY drive it. I was in school before away from home for about 2 years and i barely got to drive it over the past 2 years. Its been sitting in my garage.

I got into an accident on Dec 11th 2011. It was not major, got tboned at a stop sign. (see picture)


i never really maintained it that much since we got it. Purchased the car in april 2008. Mostly did Oil change.


But for some reason now, the drive is OK but not the best. It feels different after the accident. And there is a weird smell coming from the left side where the car got hit. Feels like something is burning , kind of feels like im missing some kind of fluid,


My main question to you guys is what should i do? Also the paint is alittle off on the driver side door, how can i fix that?


I just need some advice on what to do and what i should do on making this car run smooth again as to its full potential. What car the main things i need to do to maintain it ?


Please help me out, i love this car,
(i have it lowered on Tein S tech springs)

 

Could you provide some more information?

What kind of burning smell? Any noises? Does it pull? What exactly is different?

I would have it checked by a mechanic (and not the shop who did the repair).

Looks like a direct hit to the front wheel.

 

Its like... it runs good, but do i need to do wheel alignment again because i never did it since the accident

It pulls, it still has alot of power. its kind of hard to say but the smell is not normal tho, its like a fluid or something is burning, or theres something i never put in the engine like transmission oil has to be changed? Or the steering pump fluid ?

 

Reply fail.

Better, but we still need more.

When I wrote "pull," I meant does it drift to the right or left when you release the steering wheel on a straight road, like the interstate or highway.

You need to check for leaks. If you see no leaks, then something is contacting a hot part that is causing your smell. If you can't check these things you will need to see a mechanic.

 

yes it pulls to the left, i am going to see a mechanic this upcoming week, i will let you know what they say
