Not counting the ten trillion hours I have spent, I can honestly say I have spent less than $3000 in hard cash! I'm not finished yet though.

A very rough breakdown of my poor old datto
Car $600
Brakes $1600
Suspension $2300
Rims Tyres $1800
Cage $900
Diff $500
Seat and harness $600
ECU $1600
Intercooler $600
steering wheel and dash $500
Fuel system $1200
Cooling $400
paint and panel $3000
Engine and box $2200
rebuild and engine modifactions $5000
Turbo and manifold $3000
Clutch & flywheel $800
I am lucky to have had a lot of machine work and workshop giving to me for free. Im sure I couldnt have afforded to have paid someone to do the conversion.
not included is all the consumables and tuning could probably add another $1500 for dyno time ect. So all up $22900
I thought it would be more than that Im sure there are lots of little bits and pieces Ive missed
So probably close to 30K.Its no show car either needs some more panel and paint work but cant justify the $$$ as long as its rust free and mech A1 im a happy camper

so in the posts so far we have close to $200k worth of Datsuns. On a BMW site that would be your starting price for 1 car.
