unless your time is cheap it cost more than $1500. If your time is cheap then well you didn't waste it.

Everything you done with your car is time! time you invest to your car isnt cheap! so! same time to make it AWD! you sound like hate the swap ! i love the swap is the best thing i do ever on a B13! a lot of more traction, good felings on corners and fast corners! good on rains! good everithing! my car made over 400awhp and the traction are awsome!! FWD sucks!!

You made a blanket statement when I said for him to just go buy a rwd car or a awd car. I said this because taking up a project like that is in no way cheap. Then you prattled on about it only costing you $1500? you failed to add the time it took do the job. Not everyone has access to the tools or the know how and parts to do something like that. You should make it easier for him buy doing the whole thing for him @ the $1500 lol.

c-mon!! ok lets me see if i can explain better...
some guys here speed over $100 on vvl engine, plus 3y header, 3 inch exaust, exu and tune, rpm activator, speend lot of work over $1500 on parts and time and extra job cost! and anybody say nothing!

some guys speend over $1500 on a SR20DET OEM and add exaust ecu tuning and all the parts for intall the engine and all stuff, over $2000!

or making any engine turbo over $200! and then says, i go to the track and i made 11.5 and bad traction! o dont street race because i have over 400hp and my car spin to mouch tire! and any oter excuses!
but no body say nothing!

now... lets talk about traction, AWD! and haters are the first to open the mouth!
they say making a awd car is expencive! and lot of time! the can buy a $2000 engine swap or upgrade but they can put $2000 om drive train that is better on Hig power? how in the hell you can explain that??? they can put all time and money on engine but no on a drive train?

bha! i made 2 awd cars! and rigth now i will made a rwd B13 and i will post pics and thats was be awsome and awaome traction i love B13 chasis and i do whatever i want on that chases without change brand of nissan and model B13!! that the point!
sorry for my english, i speak spanish....

I like your car.

Parts + Labor, the Labor is time. If you have kids or a 60 hour work week your time is worth way more than if you only worked 30-40 hours. I'm sure that I could pull off the AWD swap but I prob wouldn't for a few reasons. 1. The car is old as shit now lol. I'd rather just spend the money and buy a nicer car like a EVO 9 or STi that already came AWD from the factory.
2. The time involved would just be too much to get it done right. Stock AWD cars ok at stock power levels but when you start to make more power and want to go faster you start to break shit. If there isn't anything for you to upgrade too then your going to spend more time and money to get something that will hold the power so you can drive it like you stole it.

Already had a turbo awd car back in the day. Very fun can and I still miss it sometimes.

The Jackassery that went on with that car when I was younger were too numerous to list lol.

i have kids, i have my own bussines, so, no time for entrace o exit from my work my work are 24 hours, 8 to 5 in office or shop, 6 to 12 on call services ...

isnt imposible for me make an awd car when im very busy, i take time for everithing without unattend my son wife or work,

anyway, buy you 25,000+ evo or subaru and step on the drag line with my b13
im in a simple and not cool Nissan B13! im on a old Nissan B13 but i will wait for you! make a loan! buy and work and speend your time in work to pay the EVO or subaru loan and have a fun race with my B13 AWD , just wanna have fun

This is the one I have sitting

Nobody with any sense counts the "time" they have in their unique, built not bought, ride.

That time is entertainment time. Hobby time. Fun time. Challenge time.

It cannot be quantified, nor priced.

When doing a custom ride for yourself, yes, the only thing that counts is the actual parts you bought.

Not the time spent by your and your buddies making the thing work. Do you count the two hours spent in the price of going to a movie? Or does going to the movies cost the ticket, popcorn, and a drink? It costs the ticket, popcorn and drink, not an additional 25-per hour for the money "you could have made" while at work.

Counting "labor" in a fun project-car is a ridiculous argument for not doing the project car.

The cost of the materials are thee only thing that counts, or find yourself another hobby.
