Just wondering roughly how much money all you guys have dumped into your cars. I was just thinking about how much I have "invested" in mine. And I got to figure withe the price of my car, rstoration and performance I must have over $5k in mine, Im sure theres a bunch of little things I forgot... but that soesnt seem to bad.

How about the rest of you????

 

after 10 years I don't even care anymore.
lots and lots of money

 

my car paid me back 300 dollars actually
lol

 

my turbo swap paid for itself. ...but now it won't run right.

 

**** still boy you better go look over that junk yard out on the 522 gray mite go today and take some pics ..i will let you know ..........

 

About 15-17K at last count, and it's still an ugly POS!

Rod.

 

I've invested so far close to 2K in mine, and I've only had my ZX since February '06. By this year's end I'll be close to 5K once I'm done rebuilding the engine.

 

i got about 10 to 15k into mine

 

No comment on this one... I take the 5th.

 

i am sitin at around, ......650$. 300$ for Z, 150$ for part's car. and the rest in small stuff.

 

I would say 1000-2000 dollars, or so. Still going on this one though. Bought the Z for $200, put $300 into it. And he still ran like crap, because of 3 bad cylinders. Did the motor swap, had to get a clutch kit. Redid over 90% of my interior. Still need suspension, new tires. And eventually a turbo swap also. Still a ways to go, but it is worth it.

 

ill just say "oy vei"
thats all.

 

the last thing a married man wants is ammunition for his wife to use against him. If I dont know how much I've put into my car then I can't tell and I wont have to lie about it. I can honestly say I have absolutely no idea how much money has gone into my [ex]Z. I plan to keep it that way with pretty much any car I own Makes life easier and I dont have to lie to my wife about it

 

I'm not really sure. Still got a buttload of parts in the closet to go on, though. I know this: if I had $15k, I could easily spend it on the Z and still not be happy...

 

2,500 for my 82 280zx ---------9,800 into my 1993 300zx 2+2 -------3,500 into my 1990 300zx coupe and ----------250 dollars into my 83 280zxt...

 

my silver car has 12000 into it, but that cdn, so what is that aboot 1000 us? heheh

 

too much..

 

$10,576.40 american there Shady I wish it was more like 1k though

 

about $17k for all my z's and parts, was fun spending the money while it lasted though.

 

i just started but around 1-1.5k on mines.. interior parts and making the engin run rite only... gonna be more in a few weeks...

 

$2542.67 total.

 

Are you serious?? you cant be talking about the car in your sig!! That looks way too nice to have such little money into.

 

Agreed, maybe if the car came like that and you installed the engine, or maybe youre not including the price of the car.

If that is the price for everything then daymn ive been doing something really wrong.

So far for me I've kept it at around $4800 and hope not to go over 5000 once the interior is done.

 

That includes the original $800 purchase price of the car. I did alot of bartering and scrounging for the pieces I added. Nothing has been done to the exterior since I bought it (yet) except for wheels/tires..
The money all went into the engine, driveline and suspension.

 

WOW even if you still have plans to paint it, it looks great! AND it's a V8
