Sp4wn Turbocharged August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 but 2k is O.O.. let's see the cost of my previous servicing front brake pads @ $2100 rear brake pads @ $1700 renew transmission fluid, differential fluid and brake fluid @ $3200 each bridgestone 255/40ZRF20 @ $780/pc (changed 2) [so far, changed a total of 6 for entire life of car] (i've not added in labour charges) car is about to hit 40k km and the next service is comprehensive which includes changing all fluids + coolants etc. that should set me back another 5k when it comes time to change the rotors for the brakes (supposedly should be quite soon .. should set me back another 8-10k) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake pads I can understand though and also your tires also not those kuchingkurap ones. But no cheaper garages? Looks like must strike 4D + ToTo x 5 times 1st prize then can buy & maintain a GTR.

Looks like must strike 4D + ToTo x 5 times 1st prize then can buy & maintain a GTR. can probably find la .. but since i bought my car frm tan chong and its under warranty - need to send to them. probably can get 10-20% cheaper if i go to mb motors or something. but you get the rough idea of costings so far .. not a cheap car to maintain. once you factor in insurance (3.7k) and monthly petrol ($500-600 per mth, 98 only) you can see that owning a skyline is not cheap (and i would assume the costs for an R34 would be even more exp since there may be a lack of parts...)

My full tank, before the light comes on, can net me 400km at least too, unless for that particular tank I am constantly on high boost playing along with idiotic drivers. Do you pump in JB? I dont normally pump in more than SGD$100 per week. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
