The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXV

JARblue · 03-11-2020, 11:21 AM

So I just did some updates on my build spreadsheet. I'm not sure I should have

Calculated that I've spent about $15K on aftermarket part purchases (not including consumables) over the years. Should have just gone boost

Nope just double that and add another 5k! Let's put it this way. I have spent that much on my Z since I blew the motor and she is still a roller!

lol that boost comment was a complete joke. Because everything I spent is towards supporting mods for boost or a solid track upgrade. The only thing I probably wouldn't keep for a boost build is the Takeda intake. Probably hit $25K-30K pretty easy with one of the less expensive boost kits

Most of us boosted guys are staring at $20k+ in the rear view mirror. I know I quit counting at $20k.

I’m probably still done cheaper. Only thing is my finish point is only slightly higher than your entry point.

Definitely 2/different prices to just own in my state

Property taxes + full coverage insurance would cost 7500-8000 per year for the GTR vs under 1500 for a Z

I'm around 11k myself. But that's with a lot of very careful shopping, and buying/reselling from part outs. I actually calculated it out yesterday. I'd be $25k in if I'd bought stuff new, and resold nothing.
