Too Much !!!!!! I dont really wanna sit down and think about it !!!!!!!

All boils down to that GTR love affair !
And all sense goes rite out the window.

well, look at it this way - I myself may have spent over £50K all told, but you've got to compare that with what else that money can buy. £50K here in Korea could get me a year-old BMW M3, unmodified...and slow!

if it flys, floats or fukcs its cheaper to rent it. Thats why I bought my skyline

MattR32 · 19th July 2008, 06:00 PM

£42 for a new battery yesterday only had the car a week, but weddings nearly paid for, so let the fun begin ( in secret )

P3RV3RT · 19th July 2008, 07:03 PM

Over £10,000 to present on parts and some labour. Not sure on exact amount.

Im going to be building an RB30 Bottom end and single turbo set up at the end of the year and upto then Ive still got to sort all the suspension out.

Id like to have a complete car to a track/road spec for under £25,000

around 5k up to now but this is only the beginning!! Lots more to come.

Trev · 21st July 2008, 08:31 PM

Well into £20,000 on my GTST - most is due to it being on it's 4th engine

Still, careful spending on quality second hand parts has probably saved me £5,000

STILL would rather have my car over a Ferrari or similar though, money well spent IMO

Other half can't see my point of view though

I can't believe the amount people have spend on their cars. Shocking.

201.7 XAU

Makes it easier on the mind using big denominators.

How much is a GTR bhp in pounds? Not sure, you get 300 free with the car and you can buy extra ones but they get a bit more expensive the more you have already. The ones above 600 or so can get really expensive. I've got 750 and to get that many over 4 years of ownership and about 30,000 miles has cost about double what the car cost originally, but I now have really good ones...

NISMO-GTR · 30th July 2008, 11:50 AM

mines about £5k in 2 1/2 years

Moff · 30th July 2008, 01:34 PM

I put £5k - £10k as I don't want to add it up and know for sure

Spearmint · 30th July 2008, 01:38 PM

In 3 years with 2 engine rebuilds and a crash plus initial purchase? £29K (ish).

3000 XAU, still is painful, especially when you visualize exactly how much 3000 ounces of gold weighs!!
