How Much Have You Guys Spent?

[Tomek]

Somewhere between 5-8k.

Still got some more expensive plans

[R TUNE]

well im up to about 12K ( )

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

[dangerous_daveo]

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!!!

[Zilch*]

I've spent around 28k which is depressing seeing as I should've put it towards a house instead...

[sam5709]

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.........

[35NIK]

45k+ but that includes the car

[Abo Bob]

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

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

SR FTW

[2BNVS]

i agree with sewid wheres the 100k option.. hahahahah :-S

[anfo]

yes this question should never be asked....

5k to me = (

[SilverECR33]

Ive spent more than the purchase price of the car on parts alone. not including servicing and replacement items or labour. ..

[Yidz]

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)

Dont know how i missed this thread

Voted

[DRD-00F]

I passed the amount that my insurance covers about 6 months ago 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

[Dahtone Racing]

owes me 70K and 5 years of my life

that includes the 10K buy price

scary part is its going in for what will almost be a complete rebuild

[Yawn]

^ 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

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

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

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

^ only 10k car purchase price?

thats the only reason i bought it

they were going for close to 20 but the guy needed money LOL

[-BORED-]

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

Dont worry, i spent like 7k in the first 13 days or so

And it hasnt stopped

I didnt realize the budget included purchase price, better move me to 35k plus (GTR plus SupraTT is 40k alone)
