Dp351zcar Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 A lot more than I was planning to before I found HybridZ (thank you hybridz ). Form a plan and stick to it! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwink25 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Well...I bought my 1971 240Z for only $300. That included enough parts to put two of them together! Heck of a deal...then I started buying performance parts and other parts and this and that... I have over $4,000 into now and it still has not seen the road. I am waiting for the money to buy a turbo upgrade and build a Megasquirt. Then I hope to learn how to paint my own car(doing this before I put it back together). All in all, I'll most likely have well over 10 grand into it before it see's the road. I am completely restoring it, everything is new or rebuilt or upgraded. I just hope to finish it by next summer. I am guessing that by the time I am done with it I"ll have about $15,000 into it. I don't think that, that is all that bad. It will be like buying a new car that can kick almost anything's butt for only 15 grand...not bad in my book. Anyway, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 250z Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 somewhere between $30,000 and $35,000 NZD, it's got an RB25DET in it (that in itself "only" cost me approx $10,000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldZguy Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Spent 5K for the car in 79, webbers cam suspension paint stuff say another 3K over the years, working on it again, probably looking at another 3K by time I have it where I want it... Don't tell my wife! No mine isn't as exstream as so many that are on the forums here but I always wonder how well mine would compair performance wise, I don't care much for how it looks, performance counts. And if I had known then what I know now I would have done a V8 swap long ago... to much invested now to go back and change things.... Ah to be young again, and smarter!

Guest ON3GO Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 most the money is in the suspension, brakes, and wheels... and motor.... i never really bought cheap stuff.. i figure do it right the 1st time. looking for around 350rwhp on pump gas and etc.. maybe more.. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 a whole $1700, which is a lot for me since i only make $40 a month (allowance) i want to get a loan of 6 or 7 grand from my dad so i can completely mod the motor w/everything turbo from MSA (and NOS). Im looking for 350hp or more when im done. no more money for the suspension because its already done and i finished the interior. I WANT 11'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by the way what kind of turbo did they use in the early Z turbo set up in SportZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 No way no how Ok ok around mmmm 12K conservitivly (sp). I don't like to add up the reciepts ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Man-o-man, my parents just found out that I have over $10,000 into my car and they just about blew a gasket! LOL Its ok though since they dont have to support me(Im 21 and have a real job). I just told them that I have over $10K in the car but I negleted to tell them that I really have about $15,000 in the car. I dont think its too bad considering what the performance will be once I finally "finish" it(no hybridz is ever done in my book! There are always more mods to be done! ) I think once I get it painted this winter/spring and the new rims on they will have a different opinion.....aka "ummm Guy".... "can I drive it to work today?" 8) It doesnt bother me that I have spent that much? Why should anyone else care? Its not their money!

Phantom Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I have 12 years and about $30k in mine including purchase price, all repairs, and modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I think close to $20k by now. But it never ends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z8 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I have about 15K in mine, total. But it's not that much when you go shopping for cars nowadays. Look in the back of a Car & Driver and mark the sportscars that have the performance that can match the cars on this site and see how much they are! I used to run a Porsche 951, a new 400hp engine would cost you 15K. For that much I have the 400hp-suspension-brakes-etc. etc. to match and the car!
