Nizmo's "back to his roots" car!
 

Well, I sold my EF civic for a more "mature" car. Its a 2002 Infiniti G20 Sport which is LOADED to the tits. I have always loved Nissan, ever since i was 16 years old. So its time to build another one! Got lots of things already planned already for it.

Comments welcome.

Attachment 9896

very nice, always liked the G20

I have always liked the G20 as well great pick up. I can't wait to see what you do to it.

Seen a few slammed around with a lip that I cant remember the name of. Looked dope as ----. Not a HUGE fan of G20's, reminds me of a douchebag that did his interior in baby blue...yuck lool.

Comments...hmmm told you to get this car back in May lol great choice man I'm sure you'll like it and maybe you will keep a car longer then a few months you car -----!!!

So after I do all that work to your ef, you go off and sell it.

Up for det swap? Lmk when :p

Looks good Ryan! :yeah:

Congrats on the purchase!

looks good ryan!!
and yea cant you swap like rb20's in there?
the heated seats you will love my maxima has it and its awesome feels like you peed yourself lol.
you should see if you can put a heated steering wheel into it!!

nice man, im gonna be heading down that route too..not 100% yet but most likely getting a jetta to replace my gsr.

:nonono:

i know paul..i know..it sucks but im getting old ( im 19) gotta get a family car :(...and its already a done deal i've agreed to a trade ill make my own forum topic of my car a little later. i want some goodbye pictures with her before i see it go :(

Its FWD you can't put an RB20 in there lol.

But what engine does it have in it nizmo, it looks like an SR or is it something else? Glad to see a Nissan though ;) haha. It looks like a nice car and very clean.

If so SR20DE with a VE head swap and back to the old days? Or SR20DET?

All G20's come with a SR20DE and the 00-01 G20's came with a roller rocker SR20DE. I will be looking into getting a VE and had some happy juice to it lol. I would love to go DET, but i think that would ruin what a G20 is about... comfort, reliable, and 4-door family car lol. Plus i know if i go DET, i wouldnt stay outta it and i would want more and more boost!

we will see tho

Haha, probably true.. kinda defeats the purpose if you end up with a 350HP+ G20 lmao.

Lemme know how it goes and when you get started on what your doing. I'm pretty interested to see what you do with it.

Comfort - Since when did that consiner you getting an EF lol

Reliable - What can be better then a Honda. Jokes.

4-Door Family Car - You gonna be driving your -----'s around :lol:

Ya my cats LOVE the heated seats... We go on random road trip now hahahaha!!!

Nissan>Honda btw ;)

Hmmmm, but does your VTEC go BWAAAAAAH? Do you drive it often or is it parked still?



:yeah:

It worked out for the best because you have a Nissan car again :D

thx for the post guys

AMEN brother.

Got some new parts in yesterday.

-Very rare and hard to find "Hotshot" Cold-air intake
-Carbon fiber pillar gauges
-Black titanium(i think) "nismo" shift knob
-A couple MAF adapters
-and another rare piece, a RSTB, custom made on my sr20-forum.

Sweet when are these goodies going in?

whenever i find time lol

What are the gauges? ...and what's in the big box??? ;)

gauges are probably for boost

all in due time guys. Whenever the weather co-operates i will be installing most of the ----, until then... the parts will be piling up.

boost? who said boost?:drool:

I used to watch these cars in the British Touring Car Championship on Speedvision. They are known as Nissan Primera's over there and in Japan. Brings back many memories:

Ryan, congrats on the new car. Just from the pics in the first post, it looks like it's in really good condition, loving the colour. Happy that you got a car with all the extras, well-deserved. :yeah: No doubt, as the weather gets better and you personalize it to your liking, it'll even be that much better. :)

THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG!

Next time he decides to buy a new one someone plz SMACK him...
He doesnt seem to listen to me.

O and btw...IM BACK!

Had some issues wit internet and forgetting that Ryan so graciously changed my username:p

Any way. Glad to be back..missed you all and i hope to be seeing you at some future meets.

BTW- For any of you with family or friends or even personal vehicles...i now work for Subaru in parts so let me know if i can help!

Enjoy the Snow!!!!

Glad your back....... and I would like turbo from subaru's parts counter... and you can throw in wrx for shyts and giggles
:lol:

***update***
 

Well, for sometime there has been a MASSIVE clunk on my front suspension. We stressed tested every part! Ball joints are fine, sway bar links are good, bushings look and feel solid, upper links are mint... wtf can it be? Whenever i go over bumps, pothole or crease in the road my car has a "drop" sound followed be a massive clunk!

So i decided to replace the sway bar links because they were only $20 lol. Problem solved...for the most part. Since the front suspension is SO tight, it is sooooo hard to determine the problem. But shes fixed.....kinda

One more problem i would like to ask for opinions on. I also found out that my front left caliper moves when wiggled. Not the bracket, the caliper! I replaced both sides with new slider pins, bolts and washers. Still has the same amount of play. what gives?:confused:

Opinions are VERY welcome.

Sounds to me like your piston is not moving.

Brake calipers are supposed to have some play and be able to "float".

Without seeing in person what you are describing, it's difficult to judge.

As for the front end clunk, I've had the same thing for over a year. Though I'm pretty sure on mine it's the upper control arms.

Ryan, have you looked at the sway bar bushings as well?

Yup, replaced the sway bar link and bushings which fixed the massive clunk.

I honestly think i need a new caliper, it clamps just fine but i think the hole where the slider pins go into are "bored out" inside. I think with the high kms, the inside of the slider pin hole is more of an oval shape inside.

You know what that means right? BREMBO UPGRADE!!! Sicne the 04-06 spec-vs share some of the same kingpin design, their brembos literally bolt up to my G20! woot!!!!

+1 on Brembo's :yeah:

Never hurts to get new calipers

agreed

lowering the car TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why u ask? cause i can! and cause im tired of looking at the coil-overs everyday and wanting them on!

Woohoo gonna be a good Saturday afternoon :yeah:

Foods on Ryan!!!

After seeing the coil-overs that bought stare at me allllllll day at work for nearly 3 weeks... i broke down and installed them. The install went real smooth with a big thanks to beca and paul for helping me out. It was super easy to do and was my first time installing suspension on a car like this. The setup is NOTHING like a honda, the strut does not move when you turn the wheels.... they are stationary. I will let the pics do the talking.

The good stuff, Koni's on Eibach ground control's

Oh and i put on a new black titanium "nismo" shift knob.
Attachment 9829

Woohoo. Always a pleasure to help out :yeah:

It was very simple setup to install and I thought honda's were the easiest things to work on.
