Running Costs

[Barge Ass]

Just curious about running costs for various setups can people give me an idea? From stock/mild to wild.

What are you referring to? Petrol costs? Insurance? Oil changing?

Car tuned to 244kw's, gets around 250-300km's a tank... so, around $60 a week.

Should change oil every 5,000km's... depending what you use, about $100-150 every 3-6 months.

Tyres... average about once every 1-1.5 years (provided you drive kindly).... $???

Its a just like a normal car dude... running costs are about the same... only exception would be petrol!

I get 430 - 450kms to a tank in the GTR. Stockish just catback exhaust and intercooler etc. Insurance is whatever your quoted. Oil change as mentioned every 5000ks which is about every 4 - 6 weeks for me.

It all depends how much you drive the car really. Servicing is a bit more often than a normal car and with higher quality materials that's all. When you start to break stuff it gets expensive lol

I get a good 10l/100km on a pretty much stock non-turbo. Its like any car though dude, keep it serviced and the running costs stay cheap enough.

Drive like a nanna and you wont be crying over tyres every 6 months too. Learnt that the hard way.

Just referring to the lot/year really. Just a bit curious as to what it costs to run a heavily souped GTR too as I see theres a few for sale but dont want to spend too much per year.

Nice to here you get such good mileage. I think its swung my decision from a 80% to a 100%.

GTR parts cost a fortune, fuel on the highway might be 10l/100km on a twin turbo if your lucky.

Half-city driving was around 15l/100km from memory

All parts are twice the price of a normal car at least, windscreen $250, clutch 1-2K, clutch labor $400.

Engine rebuild 6K+

Et cetera, myn is not a daily driver so if something goes wrong its not a big deal if its your second/weekend car
