I remember in EGO magazine they featured one of the Top Secret Skylines pushing silly power was 20 something grand, must have cost shedloads to put together.

You think that's a lot of money? That Top Secret complete engine alone costs $42,000. Plus shipping from Japan, plus fitting. That Nismo CF bonnet is

I am guessing it would also reduce your bank balance somewhat when it ate itself? I can't imagine being able to spend that sort of cash on a car and then be worried about murdering it. I think it would have to be a nice safe reliable Ferrari instead

I could think of better ways to spend 68k and at the end of the day it'll still be a Nissan....

I would like to own a Ferrari one day but I think this is more special than a 70k 360. I don't GAF who makes it, that's just badge snobbery.

Everyone's different I suppose.

It would be no more expensive to run than any other expensive performance car, probably less than a second-hand Ferrari TBH.
