Zedrush Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just want to know how much people have spent on their 350z so far on mods Am calculating mine so far so far spent £6500 not including more to come Paid 18600 for current car (55 UK GT) sold last Z for 26500 (paid 19k for it)so, not actually dug into my own pockets..... yet but to be totally honest so far for me it has been worth every penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 My wife occasionally reads this so about £50 Funny you should say that number, a mate of mine (who sadly passed away last year) was an absolute mentalist when it came to modding his cars: He spent a fortune but always did such a great job that you really couldn't argue the cost side. Anyways, whenever his missus used to ask him how much something cost his stock reply was always "Oh, only £50 love!" and it used to get left at that, regardless of whether it was a brand new turbo unit, a set of 19" Rays or a bit of alcantara for the door panel! Good ol' lad was Perry. But BOT, I've not spent a single penny yet on my Z, but then that's probably because I haven't even got it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_fuel Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 1538€ on a Nismo exhaust and some nickels and pennies on a stubby areal and cargo net There is one mod which keeps costing me money however. I try increasing the weight of the car by filling it up with petrol. But no matter how much I put in at some point all of it is gone and I have to start all over again Most expensive mod so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each mod = 1 tank of petro to test so add £70 per mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I dare not add it up to be honest!! The way I see it is that the car is paid for as is everything on the car so i'm not racking up debt building my choice of car so it's all good and long may it continue that way!!

I've always held to the view (and it's probably my age ) that this is a Z forum and talk of other cars is inappropriate and misplaced (albeit that I could do) I enjoyed the Z tremendously, took it as far as I wanted, lost 15k in the process (what the heck ) and still continue to post on the basis that I might be able to (and sometimes do) contribute positively - whilst recognising that some people will say 'you don't have a Z so shut the f*ck up' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummertor Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Impossible to spend more than £50 Hope that helps you all ! Just noticed no mods this week but £260 on fuel, yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Agreed Dorian. Some members are worth keeping on a consultancy level! Not really though about it. Don't really care! When I get the car into the bodyshop (ie when I'm home long enough!) it'll be worth it. You can't put a price on walking out a breaking into a smile evey time you see your car and beeming with pride..... For everything else theres mastercard!
