How much did YOU spend on your car?

[l2ich84]

Geez I had to pay 10gs for my 98 240 way up north where I'm at. You guys are damn lucky to be picking them up for 5000

10,000 for car,1,500 wheels and tires1,400 coilovers400 exhaustlittle more here and there on misc items

f*** and I'm still slow cause I want to turbo my KA.. things are too damn expensive in Canada

[amakadius]

about 18000 so far and counting. alot of overtime and research. im nowhere near close to being done but i have another project car that i am gonna be putting together soon. it keeps me out of trouble.

[SmithSR]

^^That's good reasoning, keeps us out of trouble.

I was approaching 17k and untold hours, just like everybody else here, when I sold her. The time investment is what really matters though, especially if you take your time and learn about what you're doing instead of hacking up the car.

[Nis-240sx-san]

about 8k including the car.

don't worry bro i spent close to 10 for mine with taxes, licence and everything out the door. Clean Kouki's go for a lot down here in southern California with all the drift hype

[projectcoupes13]

Just started on it. theres so many more expenses to come.

93 240sx coupe all base $500 with a (blown) ka (turns out it was a slight rod knock fixed the motor and sold it for 400) rb20 with few mods $200 (had a spun rod bearing no problem though i was planning on building it anyway.)So thats were im at now heres were all the big mooney starts getting thrown down

[sr20power]

I have every lil receipt I paid for the car kept in a notebook, but I dare not even look at the total...I think I might cry.

[dubbinit]

600 out of a junkyard fully equipped with a fart can

nearly 10K later and hours in the garage, I have the car in my sig.

New motor soon! (Hopefully when I graduate college this December)

[StricNyne]

sigh close to 25k and its not done thats for a rb i bought in around 03, a rebuild, two chassis, 4 turbo setups and foolish purchases for dumb things

here is some of it zer...age=1

[Amtk240]

Please don't make me think about that! Too much to even keep track of.

When I'm done spending money on my S14's, I will probably come to the realization that I could've had a new Nissan GT-R sitting in my garage.

[maryjane]

approaching 30k

RBs and 240s are money pits

and i dont regret any of it!

[Justin35ll]

I also bought another 240, wasn't running, but it was for parts, the car had a manual swap, coil overs, and new tires which all went onto my car, and i also used the oil pressure sensor, fuel injectors, coolant overflow bottle, electric fan, cat back exhaust(mine had holes) and the sub frame to replace my damaged one. $400 for the whole car.

est. total= 3520

there are more bells and whistles but this is something that i have wanted to do for years so i dont care about price i just go out work more overtime and buy parts to have fun in and allow the muscle head guys to underestimate me.

[freakyjason]

Too damn much! I'll probably never stop spending either. Somewhere in the order of $15k I'd imagine.

[Fibre guy]

I'm just going to sit here and grieve over the fact that I didn't buy a Murano instead of an RB.

[Jadesr20det]

A little over 12k and still going........ this thread makes me
