Cost to run your skyline each week

[kabab]

$400 loan repayment (gets paid of in a few months )

$200 insurance

$200 petrol

=

$800 a month

Then you need to consider rego, tires and maintaince which is another easy 3K a year.

Its all worth it, not to mention if u have a missus in the passenger side!!!!, I am selling my modded 89 r31 series 3 skyline if u r interested.

[Lepperfish]

50 bux = 300km.... so around $100 a week...

I have no idea why, but even though I commute on my motorcycle and my car is usually a weekend driver only, I still managed to do more km in the car than on the bike last year.

I did about 15000km last year in the car, so that's 4 services since I got it (at 0km, 5000km, 10000km, 15000km) @$70 a service or so (oil and filter, done by me) = $280. $35 on brake fluid, $150 on brake pads, $10 on clutch fluid, $20 on diff oil, $100 on gearbox oil, $100 on new plugs, $140 on fixing the wastegate, $3900 on insurance (last year's plus this year's renewals), roughly 40 refills at around $50 a tank = $2000 on petrol, $600 on rego.

So that's over $7000 just on maintenance and ongoing costs, and I've probably forgotten a lot of stuff. And I'm sure I've spent a similar amount on mods and stuff (respray after being rear-ended, S-AFC plus tuning, bigger intercooler, new plenum, etc). And then there's the motorcycle which chews up over a grand's worth of tyres in 1 year, plus rego, insurance, servicing, etc.

I used to wonder how my housemate who is a uni student managed to save $5000 in a year (he uses public transport only) whereas I have saved zilch even though I'm on a semi-decent wage. Looking at the above I'm now surprised that I manage to afford to live. Oh well, the bike and car are my passion and it's only money

its cos ur cars wheels were spinning all the time causing more km's than what u really did

[franks]

~$1,000 p/month (nett) which includes:

-lease payments

-rego

-insurance

-maintenance

-fuel

@ ~25,000km's a year

[kabab]

Hrrmm i do thoes sorta km's and only $200 a month more i could be driving around in a dildo R34 :eek:

[franks]

make me an offer kebab

[slip]

R31 non turbo - very cheap to run, doesnt break down generally.

fuel + rego etc. Not much really.

Then i go and blow it all by spending thouuuusands on the thing.

[Timmy G]

i have an r33 gts-t and i spend about $50/wk on fuel.

approx $200/6mo for servicing

so like $63/wk (including rego, but not including 3rd party insurance or comp)

[Dreg01]

my R31 cost me next to nothing to run for the first year while it was stock and i didn't drive it hard.

now i am modding it , it's costing me all my money and more.

i go to uni 5 days a week and also work. i am searching for a second job to stop me from going broke.

which will leave me with no life other than working for my car.
