We have done this Before But I thought we could do a New Updated Poll so new member's can show as well how much they have put into their 300zx! (Not how much you bought it for :D )

I wonder where Ian place will be in this Poll Lol :rofl:

If your including repairs, sevicing and purchase then it must be somewhere close to £45K over 8 years. Remember in 1999 I bought a low mileage car that was 4years and 5 months old.

 

They were still quite rare as there was hardly any imports around and they were still expensive £15K. I done over 100,000 mile since I bought it. It's been serviced every 3 to 4 thousand miles, had recon turbos at 70K, Had a new engine rebuild at 124K + T28 hybrids bla bla bla, at a cost of £12000 thanks to GPS and a year later all completely redone properly at C & S Wood. Everything in and on the engine new including new T2837RS turbos, brand new prop and so much more. then there was a full colour change and body kit in 2003, my reworked front bumper in 2005, three different sets of 18" wheels, rear tyres every 5 to 6k fronts changed about every second time and on and on. Yep it could well be more than £45,000

Even more scary if you do running costs per mile !

about 6k up to now, and more still to be spent, am i mental??? :headvswal ....are we mental :headvswal :headvswal

I have spent about £2300 on it obviously not including the initial price I paid for the car which was £4500.

So to coin a phrase it stands me in almost £7000. worth every penny .....SO FAR?

£35K ish I think but it's over 7 years and includes the £9K I paid for it.

On my 3rd engine, second gearbox, uprated turbos, bodywork and wheels etc.

Probably the same again on petrol! :rofl:

Don't go there with petrol.

 

I'm having to used it as my main car at the moment and I'm using £140 in petrol a week. and been doing so for the last 8 weeks. Normally about £55 which is still £2,860 a year.

 

I remember when I first bought the car in 1999 it cost about £35 to £38 to fill up. Now it's almost £60.

about £8-9k not including purchase cost i reckon

I spent over 11K on my first Z and I replaced most of the parts with standard Nissan bits :headvswal (tit that I am).

 

this one stands me at about £4900 all in and I'm taking my fooking time this time around. I have about another 2K to spend on it before it's how I want it.
