I think they will run more than that cost wise.. Nissan has been skyrocketing the price of VR38 parts the last year, which should be driving up the used engine prices too since less people will just build all new ones now. They can handle around 825-850rwhp stock but not forever... mine lasted about 2 years like that in my GTR before bending a rod. Though the GTR will load the engine up much more often with the AWD, and perhaps in a Z it may go a lot longer.
