Ok, my part to get this back on topic. In order:

"Nismo" kit=$2000
Nismo S-tune suspension=$2000 (I ordered it from Japan before it was available here in 2002--man my suspension is old now)
Enkei 18" RPM-2 Wheels/tires=$2000 (I am only counting one set--I have been through at least 4 now)
Stoptech 13" BBK=$2000
K&N Filter/Z-tube=$100
Stillen exhaust=$400 (used)
Power Lab Plenlum spacer=$200
Ritchie STB=$200 (can't remember the exact price)
A few other small things like clear corners, lots of brake fluid, pads, and lines (don't ask about the lines), etc.

I think that is pretty much it. So, about 9k. I did all the work myself, so I saved some there. I am done. I hate to say it, but I am going to sell my car soon, and pick up a either a new G37 sedan, a BMW 335i, or a Mitsu Evo X MR. Not sure which at this point, but I am leaning towards the Bimmer (I am going to wait for the G37 to come out before I decide).

greddy evott exhaust- 1300
volk ce28n time attack wheels with kumho ectsas- eh...

ive spent almost every dollar ive made on this car i just realized. but way worth it.

 

Nice coupe, your in the wrong section though. No biggie, just thought I would point it out before someone asked to see your wheels on a sedan....

 

I would say how much, but if the girl finds this site and reads what I spent I wont get any for weeks.....I will have my pics up soon

I'm in the same bracket more or less than G35Papa...

I'm a little over the 20k mark but that's only because I chose to go VIPstyle which is a very expensive hobby. I can appreciate the guys on here that have spent a lot making their cars fast since I used to do that, in my opinion, it isn't the cost, it's what you get out of what you've done that's important period.

Im at about $1,500 right now, just waiting to pay off the G so I can really start modding.

 

With changing exhaust and TPs three times, swapping in a new motor, rims, brakes, aesthetic modding but maintaining it all on a budget about $6k

 

I'm in about $7500, and that's lucky that i've gotten a good portion of my parts at very low prices

 

I sold my car.. but i invested quite a lot of money..

2k on SSR rim
2.5k on vortech supercharger, and 1k on install
bodywork was about $1.6K
$600 on exhaust
then there is tuning, repairs, tires,

You know what was priceless, the look on my wife's face every time i picked her up from her work in my car, she absolutely hated it, it was loud, the bypass valve was loud, i had x02 exhaust, so when i sold it, she was quite happy.. she never did know how much i spent on it.. i got her an acura mdx, and she never asked me anything else..

 

around 11-12k... (
