well im up to about 12K ( :D )

am lets see]

$1500 on audio

$400 on rims

$1200 on rubber

$2000 on suspention

$2000 on front brakes

$1000 on power

$500 on interior

REST i cant rember

and about to spend 6-7k at then end on the year :(:)

Not that much, mods I think is about $1k maybe, not including the stereo (because we really wont go there). But when I fix stuff, I do an upgrade. So I've spent a lot doing fixing things. It makes it easier to justify the money. When I sell the car I might break even on the mods.

But as said, this is a question that shouldnt be asked. BAN!!! :)

so far iv spent about 6ish but im about to add another 5k on turbo injectors pfc tune and a few other little bits and pieces

when i got the car the power was a big jump from my carby civic so i said to my self, "ill just stick a stereo in the skyline and be done with it"

boy how wrong i was......... :(

Starting this thread was like breaking the cardinal rule of car modification.

Never ask such a question.

(PS I ticked the $35k + box)

That's only cos that's the biggest number he put on the poll. :)

I stopped counting at about $15k I think. I've since had a full engine rebuild, manual conversion, suspension ,brakes and other bits and pieces, yet I look at it and think hmm, all it needs is a, b, c and d; oh and e, f, g and maybe h, i and j. Then I'll be happy.

well with the 180 ive gone..

Std shifter (short shifters are ghey) $25

Nardi $250

cusco 2way $750

many sets of tyres $400

rims $100

servicing $150

zipties $8.99 (oh and they are almost all gone!)

$1683.99 of installed stuff

have a PFC sitting here waiting for turbo and injs $830

by my power goal 250kw ill spend around 4k all up :P

SR FTW

Not too much as it already had the minimal mods (cooler, exhaust, kit etc):

Tint = $100

Wheels = $2000

Alarm = $800

Stereo = $1500

eww... $4500 and iv got absolutely no where.

Atleast I can see the end. I want a computer and dump pipe and that will do power wise. Can't be stuffed spending too much money. I've got a big enough loan to pay off to realise cars aren't everything..(please dont ban me haha)

Edited by Yidz

I passed the amount that my insurance covers about 6 months ago :happy: which is 50% of what the car is worth...

I think I'm about at the 10k mark... with stock running gear and engine...

This is only on upgrades too... no repairs, no paint, no little projects, not the car... I can point out 10k of non factory items in my car :P

^ only 10k car purchase price?

Ive spent 25k in 1.5 years :'(

and that will be it! ...I swear

Holy fck at 100k+ and at the number of people over 35k, makes me feel better about myself :wave:

lol, Jail after you are done for doing 200+kph after increaseing kw's and wanting to see how it goes.

I do not do such things (or think its wise) not to mention my speedo wont read that high.

edit: 15 - 25k after buying the car

I don't think it is wise to look at the speedo once you go past the 120km/h mark :D

Car - $16,000.00

Stamp duty - $506.00

Insurance - $3532.00

Alarm/Immobiliser/Turbo Timer - $450

Front Speakers $125

Rear Speakers $120

DIN Pocket $27

NSW-SAU Stuff $60

Total - $20,820

I bought the car on 14th of July 2007 too, its the most money I've spent on anything over any period of time, let alone 3 months :wave:

Someone should keep tabs on this thread so next time someone asks the question of "How much a Skyline should cost?" we scare them off with all the big numbers :D

over 2000 and ive had the car about 3 weeks :wave: and still more to come because it seems to be surging at idle

at least when im done with it, it will be to the standard it should be at

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
