I have some cash to burn...thought about upgrading my home theater...but now I am leaning toward doing some upgrades to my Daytona Blue 04 Touring Coupe. I like the look of the NISMO parts...I can get rims & tires, cat-back, sways, suspension & cai for less than $6K.

Does anyone have an idea how much a dealer will charge for install...and how long it will take?

Also, I think I might get the NISMO body kit (lip, rear, sides, wing)...but how much would it cost be to get it painted/installed by a nissan dealer??

Will that burn through 9k, or should I have some change left over? (sound system)

thanks in advance,
Brace

Is this like that Eddie Murphy movie where he has to waste money to make money?

 

lol, i wish!! wasn't that like 80 million to get 2 billion or something? think of the kewl upgrades i could do to my Z with 80 million!!!! saweeeeeeet!

 

that was Richard Pryor. Brewster's Million...is that the one you are thinking of?

 

Oh yeah! Duh!

 

Invest it, then you can make money instead of burning it.

Don't mind me, I am just fussing due to past modification expenditures.

 

Nismo parts are nice but there are lots of other aftermarket companies that have products that perform as well and in most cases better than the Nismo and will usually cost less.

With $9,000 to spend I would look into a turbo or supercharger setup but if you are going to stay NA for now, you could by a good amount of bolt-ons.

Highflow Cats

Intake
Plenum
Crank Pulley
Ecu Flash
Sway Bars
Wheels
Coilovers

That looks like it would be a good start, for me performance comes first. Although I'm not sure how much installation of all this stuff would be because so far I've done all my mods.

 

easy decision, go twin turbo

 

Invest at least some of it. If you have $9K chilling, you don't want to go burn it all at once. Get some stuff you REALLY want for your Z, then save or invest the rest.

 

I have the answer for your problem! Just let me have $2000 and ill make use of it. You should always help out the needy!! LOL

 

I have a $25K credit card with a zero balance, hmmmmm!

 

*George Senior voice* Don't doooo it.

 

I have had tha same CC for the last 9 years, never once went over 5K and always pay the balance in full each month,

<<<<Hates paying Interest!

 

start a ROTH IRA nice high interest rate...
get a return on your money!

 

<-- Pays off credit card as soon as I make a purchase.

 

You should always let a little set on the card. to build credit. very minimal. I paid my bills once I recieved them and have no credit. Good thing I am 20

 

I just invested $6,000 with current rates I get about $6 a month(Joke), unless i invest in a year or longer cd. I figure if its going to sit there, then might as well get the most you can get. So to say save the money to invest and get a return, isnt a reason. However 9,000 sitting in the bank is a nice feeling, and its nice to have something to fall back on. I think i would do some boltons and save the rest. Thats just me, but you go slap a twin turbo on it and have yourself a fast *** car but no money in the bank.
