What are you referring to? Petrol costs? Insurance? Oil changing?

Car tuned to 244kw's, gets around 250-300km's a tank... so, around $60 a week.

Should change oil every 5,000km's... depending what you use, about $100-150 every 3-6 months.

Tyres... average about once every 1-1.5 years (provided you drive kindly).... $???

Its a just like a normal car dude... running costs are about the same... only exception would be petrol!

I get 430 - 450kms to a tank in the GTR. Stockish just catback exhaust and intercooler etc. Insurance is whatever your quoted. Oil change as mentioned every 5000ks which is about every 4 - 6 weeks for me.

It all depends how much you drive the car really. Servicing is a bit more often than a normal car and with higher quality materials that's all. When you start to break stuff it gets expensive lol

I get a good 10l/100km on a pretty much stock non-turbo. Its like any car though dude, keep it serviced and the running costs stay cheap enough.

Drive like a nanna and you wont be crying over tyres every 6 months too. Learnt that the hard way.

Just referring to the lot/year really. Just a bit curious as to what it costs to run a heavily souped GTR too as I see theres a few for sale but dont want to spend too much per year.

Nice to here you get such good mileage. I think its swung my decision from a 80% to a 100%.

GTR parts cost a fortune, fuel on the highway might be 10l/100km on a twin turbo if your lucky.

Half-city driving was around 15l/100km from memory

All parts are twice the price of a normal car at least, windscreen $250, clutch 1-2K, clutch labor $400.

Engine rebuild 6K+

Et cetera, myn is not a daily driver so if something goes wrong its not a big deal if its your second/weekend car

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
