Did the G20 have the LSD available also]]>Jul 27th 2007 10:06AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/Jul 27th 2007 10:18AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/you will learn a great deal on the journey.
i look forward to doing this sometime in the future with some ride from the past.]]>Jul 27th 2007 11:23AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/Jul 27th 2007 11:38AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/
Performance is okay...manual transmission makes a difference, and the earlier models (I think 93 and before) had a high port engine that is preferred for performance. 0-60 is probably around 8 sec with the manual. Once you get going, the engine is has good passing power if you are in the right gear. They handle really well for a FWD car.]]>Jul 27th 2007 11:39AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/Jul 27th 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/
Performancewise, I think it was good for mid 8s to 60 and mid 16s in the quarter with the stick. It was a real handler, too. One of the mags (MT, I think) declared it to be the best-handling FWD car in the world in a big comparo. Maybe damning with faint praise there, but still...]]>Jul 27th 2007 12:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/but wasn't that offset by the beam rear axle?]]>Jul 27th 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/Jul 28th 2007 7:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/Jul 27th 2007 2:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/27/reader-ride-1992-infiniti-g20/
My G20 project was also my first engine swap, followed by everything but the kitchen sink. It was a $500 car that wound up being a $3,000 car. I made my own "touring" model and then some by swapping in a VLSD 1993 SE-R transmission, JDM 180SX wheels ('99+ G20 lookalikes), do-it-yourself engine mount fills, header, and other bits.

The G20 serves as a daily, letting me drive my 1992 Sentra SE-R as a autocross/trackday toy. Surprisingly, the Infiniti loves to play as much as SE-R. The G20 is the most forgettable car you can not forget. Great pick for Reader Ride.

0-60 was 8.6 seconds with the stick and around a 10 seconds with the automatic... and it felt slower.

The second G20 sucked: strut front, beam axle rear, plasticky leather, crappy interior decor. Basically a Sentra SE with a big price jack and a serious acceleration deficit. Stick with the first.]]>Aug 1st 2007 4:28PM
