how much did u spend on your swap?

[TEALSQUEAL]

i am looking to get a silvia, and i was just wondering how much everybody spent on their conversion?

[dannyca13]

well i just spent 2300 for a red top front clip. you'll spend another couple hundred in fluids, belts, plugs, and other misc. stuff. i dont have all the pieces for the front end but thats another 650-950 easy plus paint. im also about to dump about 500 to an exhaust and 150 for a downpipe. It adds up quick and im getting a shudder in 1st and 2nd that might mean i need a new clutch/flywheel. Estimate high so you can cover any hiccups that come up.

my car has SR swap plus what i needed to repair the issues it had and i replaced the entire suspension and driveline plus race seats, hippo sleek front bumper, K-style fenders and a stock silvia (S13) hood lights ect and a standalone i am in about 8000 plus 200 for the car
this doesnt include deductions for the parts i managed to sell off of the car to fund the project

i've spent 6k total on everything..i'm too lazy to type all that includes, but i'm in the process of reselling the 60 percent of the left over 240sx stuff, so that will bring that figure down probably by 6-800 bucks

how much better is the 6 speed in those things? does it really make a difference? i was thinking about that the other day, and if this is any compensation to the post whores i haven't driven a sr20 powered car, but i have riden in a 400 whp one and i have driven my fair share of 03 cobra's pushing a hell of a lot more than that... so glad to see that there is no more whoring on the post.

i like the extra gear.there were other reasons why i wanted the S15 engine though.my goal then was 300at the wheels and the S15 powerplant can get there on the stock turbo and injectors.plus it's a fresher newer engine.
