Gone.
The nismo is gone. With my son just being born I could no longer hold onto the car. Personal reasons, but lets just say I purged all my bills and debt. Picked up a little family car for the wife and kid. "A4 2.0L T)
Not out of the game yet though. Also picked up a 1970 datsun 240Z for a few grand and have a buddy with a slightly beat 7.4L LSX hes going to sell me to rebuild for next to nothing plus trade of things I dont need. Currently makes about 840 at the crank SC. Over time I will modernize the suspension and brakes, and TRY to make it something other than a straight line monster lol. I will miss my nismo, problems and all. But I wont miss the pricetag or cost of upkeep. |
Sounds like you still have a fun project to work on. Keep us updated

you'll enjoy the datsun, congrats on the baby !

yea i'm slightly confused too. was your nismo made of gold?
sold a nismo, purged debt, bought an audi, bought a 240 and looking at a $25k crate engine when new. doesn't make sense really and the upkeep cost on a Z really that high. |

i mean running 93 octane must be tough......but let's get a LSX engine which requires 110 in it. that's not pricey or anything :bowrofl: |
haha yeah i know guys. it sounds crazy but I picked up all that stuff for cash. I own them now. I paid 4500 for the A4 "2006" with 90k miles on it. And less than that for the Datsun, it needs some work.
So the difference now is im not making monthly payments on ANYTHING. Went from broke as **** to pretty well off now. Never again will I ever purchase something I cannot pay for in cash. And yes :P I have a savings fund for the kid couple hundred bucks a month. |
lol well that makes a bit more sense but I won't be surprised when your repairs/upkeep on the $4500 Audi exceed the repairs/upkeep on your $40K Nismo in less than a year :ugh:

true lol. I didnt mean gas. It was the car payment of 850+ 150 insurance a month that was killing me. plus having to replace the SCS twice, rev match issues, a key light that never went away, and several other dumb issues was a lot for a car that went bye bye with 15k miles on it. |
