How much have you spent on your GTR

[always_me]

About $5k.  Spending another $3k in the next month or so, and then I will be broke

Lucien.

if you only have 3k to your name, why are you spending it on your car, its not gonna help it much. maybe try using the money wisely

Don't presume to know how to best spend my money. I earnt it, and I'll damn well spend it how I please. My GT-R gives me far more enjoyment than most other things so it seems like a good place to spend it. Personally I don't care if its a black hole: my earnings potential of the rest of my life will more than adequately make up for the money I choose to "waste" now.

Moreover, $3000 is hardly worth the effort of investing as even with a high rate of return the initial capital is so low.

Off topic here.

Hi GTR032, I just noticed that you had the trust PE2 which from memory is 3 inches, does that restrict you in anyway since you have GTSS's

also were you pulled over for an inspection on parramatta road last month on a friday night?

not that i own a gtr, but basically i shop around and find the cheapest price for that part as i can. FMIC $500 and a $450 piping kit comes to $950 which is a lot better than forking out $1450 for a brand name kit; smart shopping. Why pay more for something that does the same thing for less; that way you can spend your money on other things: :alcoholic

R34 mods so far:

* Turbosmart boost controller $100

* GFP Mach1 BOV $195 (a free custom made adaptor saved me $50)

* RHK FMIC $500

* R33 style Piping kit $450

* Greddy Auto TurboTimer $170

* New Garret T3/T4 450hp Turbo $580 from eBay (bargin :Pimp2: )

still to come:

* custom fabed exhaust system (should save a bit on that).

The ACA build up :crazy:

But yet you spend $200 on a BOV that does nothing better than orig? How is that smart shopping :confused:

[Kel]

Where is the TOO MUCH option?

[Duncan]

Yeah why does it stop at 20k?

Or are we talking hours, not $$

Hey,

The PE2 is 3 and a 1/4 inch. I can't say whether it is restricting any flow or not, as thee car is yet to be tuned and run on dyno. Boost is only pretty low aswell at the minute.

nah not me..car has been on the road only about 2 weeks after 4 months off.

[Tommyk]

I honestly didnt think people would really spend much more than 30-40k on their single gtr ?

Perhaps im wrong

For the noise, money didn't come into it :nowigetit
