my additional nissan: 99 infiniti g20

[MXFX]

just bought her a few days ago. this is either a keeper and/or a project and/or a resell. at the very least will be a daily driver and make my fx a weekend car.



sr20de, 2.0L, 140hp, leather, bose, abs, power features, remote opener, etc...

pros: low miles, everything works, smooth and sluggish, forces me to drive
calmly

cons: rear bumper damage, car seemed never cleaned in and out

so far so good. did some cleaning. more like disinfecting. how the **** do food stains get on the ceiling? driver seat needs more cleaning. just got back from the body shop for an estimate. next, tune up and rear section repair.

Congratulations with the new ownership. I bet that car will receive better care within your hands from this day forth.

this probably deserves its own thread.

i just discovered the reason behind the rally car on the pic and the ae86 i kept seeing in the shop, the head mechanic and recent new owner gushi is tsukasa gushi (drifting and rally driver), father of pro drifting driver ken gushi. i just watched a drifting show by chance and saw them.



i guess ill stop thinking that my shop is just a small one on the corner. gushi and i have talked quite a bit when i bring my cars for the last 10 years. he talks and acts just like all the mechanics and staff. maybe i should stop by and get gushi and son's autographs .

back to topic, still on the hunt for another clean g20 and possibly and hyundai coupe.

[MXFX]

here's a little hunt update and a request for some input.

test driven 2 hyundai tiburons:
first - lots of wear and tear but good otherwise. idle fluctuates when driving and ac on and car is stopped. i decided to pass since we cant get any inspection done. we met at a hyundai dealership and was told would take up to 4 hours. the seller sold it later that day.
second - i rushed to see this one after i was told "excellent in/out," and "needs nothing" as a response to my typical questions. major scrapes around the car, door handle missing, interior looks like a bomb exploded inside, and the car has been in an accident. the seller kinda unusual (wont drive the car, let me drove it to a mechanic by myself). after inspection and about $1200 estimate to fix the car that "needs nothing" i came back and offer very low to be rejected. it worked and i went home. he called back but i didnt answer. the words that came from him after i informed him about the "excellent" condition of the car sounds like a typical car salesman who dismisses everything wrong with the problem. the car was in his dads name, i figured he was trained to say specific things.

lately, im eyeing at two cars and may decide very soon. i appreciate any thoughts/feedback on this:

1. 1995 240sx se (s14) rare concord gray color 82K very low miles and in very good condition for $5K. the dealer specializes on 240sx's and aware that the car is hard to find. final price, taking to a mechanic not allowed since he had parts swapped or stolen before. i see his point.

2. 2000 g20 (p11) bronze color 77K miles. feature wise same as my last one on the thread with some slight improvements. excellent condition in and out. $6900. if i make an offer on this, ill go for $6K.

Personally, i'd get the S14 assuming it's in 'good condition' and everything works fine. But will you be able to low ball the seller a bit more? That's a good buy if the mileage is legit

Sir Niky, Multi Link Beam Suspension na po yang late version ng Infiniti G20/Nissan Primera. Yung 90-95 Model po yung IRS.

[batang_raon14]

SR20DE... the engine to be. Yun pa lang solve ka na sa nabili mo e. Congrats Sir!

Damnit, really?. Hear that, MXFX? Go out and buy an older one!

After that isubok natin iakyat sa Las Vegas.

[MXFX]

thanks for the feedbacks menyaks .

the car was a private party though i dealt with a middle man. the rear suspension is multibeam like the sentra (bounces easily somehow). parts/mods seems ok supply wise, tons of them on g20.net. this thing struggled going uphill with a/c on. so i guess long drive is fine as long as there are no uphills hehehe...

the drive reminded me of my maxima with less power since the feel of the seat and the gauges are very similar. also, driving this makes driving the fx like driving a tank that can go fast .

[niky]

Hard time going uphill? Did cleaning the filter cure this behavior? If not, try spritzing the MAF sensor with some contact cleaner... Nissan MAFs are notoriously sensitive.

Oh, and let me reiterate... T.U.R.B.O...

[MXFX]

thanks niky. it drives a little better now with the new filter. i am already planning to clean the throttle body. just have to check if i can use the same carb cleaner spray for the maf.

oh, good thing i have no clue what that t.u.... thing is .

[alwayz_yummy]

Oh, and let me reiterate... T.U.R.B.O...

and if kulang ang turbo, theres that V.E.T.

[MXFX]

ill look into those mods after the body work and tuneup and if i decide to keep it. im learning lots on the sr20 .

[niky]

Not carb cleaner... buy a small can of electrical contact cleaner to spray it with.

RE: t.u... Awww... c'mon... you're killing me... :hysterical: ...at the very least, get an AFC (even just a secondhand one) and do the DIY ignition advance... give it a bit of pep, then concentrate on the cosmetics. ;)

[MXFX]

unfortunately i got a good excuse now for the turbo thingy: our sentra got hit with a "flying" tool on the freeway. few inch dent and the paint cracked and peeled. there goes gigi's turbo . p.s. the sentra feels deceivingly fast now in comparison with this g.
