I know a lot of you guys and gals love to mod your Maxima (or I30/35) and I was wondering how much you have probably spent on mods and stuff. Mods add up without you realizing it, don't they

 

about 15k on mods

 

You serious????? Wow!!!

 

About $5K in a year and a half.

 

11-12K list price

 

yup.. and i am not even boosted yet i got about 15k more to go

 

mods and "stuff"? what kind of stuff? like repairs? or can I count gas and oil changes too ?

Let's see though.... so far around 1,000-1,100$

wheels, tires, numerous light bulbs, fstb, clear corners, cd headunit, other misc things..... maxima.org stickers

damn, and my car still looks stock.

haha, cars suck, they drain your money

 

hehe why not the VQ30DET swap

 

Yo so did u get that cd headunit from Anton? How is it?

 

it doesn't fit.. and to make it fit.. and get custom manifolds will cost me $5k plus the motor

 

Just over $4,000, but I've only had the car for 4 months. Only about $1,500 to go - all in the performance department though (Y pipe, CAI, exhaust). I've now got my suspension fully taken care of.

ive spent about $2000 on my AE max......

 

Damn. So far I've spent about $1,600 in stuff for my car. That includes some stuff that is not on my car yet. I have so much more stuff planned too. I'm not gonna want to know how much money I've dropped when I'm done.

Later,

Yikes, my fiancee' will kill me if I spend big bucks on this car.

Seriously, the Max is my daily driver, so she's only getting some small stuff...clear markers, maybe an intake of some sort, and definitely a sunroof. I know I'm gonna miss my convertible once the nice weather comes back.

On the other hand, I've spent about $8K on my Monte. That includes a new motor (worked IROC 305), rebuilt tranny, posi rear, custom exhaust, new suspension, 16" wheels, and a bunch more other stuff. Still need another $4K for bodywork and paint. I can't imagine spending $15Gs and still having more to do...crikey!!

'00 Maxima SE and a resto-modified '85 Monte Carlo SS

 

~$700

 

Did you spend them on body work and paint to remove the scratches that were left by that green/purple Monster while posing for this pic?

 

Probably more than I should have. About $5k-$8k in my case.

 

yea bro, it should be here any day though.. so I'll put it in over the weekend and then we will see

 

I hope you see what you're supposed to see. Good luck installing it

 

5 finger discount.

 

I should have saved some, when he peed on my bumper it got all discolored.

 

1991 GXE

maintenece: ~$3k(tranny, H20 pump, timing belt, regular maintenence)

mods: $1.5-2k(moderate stereo setup, intake, Y-pipe(coming), muffler, suspension and some other goodies here and there) pretty good for a broke college kid with no debt!

 

Hmmm, stereo about $6k, other mods, about $5k at last count. That was on my GXE, and I've dumped a couple grand in my SE since then. Just never counted after that. I'm afraid to add it up!

 

$4550 to date according to my excel database, big $ going towards wheels, drop, spoiler and front bumper conversion

 

about $5k on my old 95 max and about $1,100 on the 97

 

see thats why I dont count, because then I get depressed

 

I didn't get depressed.. I got scared!
I ran a budget report in Quicken a while back, and I spend about 70% of my income on the car between gas, insurance, repairs, mods, etc etc.

ouch.

Why not just get a faster car from the factory?

GC

 

Close to $4k, and thats all for me.

- Still slow


GC

 

$170

 

About $900, but that mostly sound system. I think I'd rather pay the car off first, then mod it.

 

hmm not exactly sure, but about 4K I sould say

 

buying a car upfront takes capital and credit.. modifying a car takes a 2 week paycheck

 

Do you live a 1/4 mile at a time?

 

$1700 for stereo, tint, and light bulbs

 

I've spent about $3k on my stereo, but most of it was from my previous car (only $500 on the maxima)

I've spent about $2k on maxima stuff (got deals on used things) but I've sold some parts along the way, so only got about ($1,300 on the maxima).

I've got about $15k saved, but I need that for a house

 

About $1500.00 in mods and stereo equipment. Most of the stuff was given to me from reps and vendors.

 

why do they like to give you stuff? the only thing I ever get from Nissan is a bill
