After months of waiting, I finally have a car!
« on: June 27, 2003, 07:35:07 PM »
It\'s a nice little car, 1996 Infiniti G20...



My next step is an advanced sound system.  Anyone a pro on car audio?

Hell yeah. I love G20\'s. I wasnt extremely hot on the model you have but its grown on me. The new ones are badass. Nobody gives them any recognition but they would be mean cars to mod up if there were any parts available. It really doesnt even need a body kit. Personally i go more for performance but hey, whatever floats your boat. Nice man. Congrats.

Im thinking about buying an AE86 also know as the Hachiroku or and 86 corolla for those of you who have no idea what im talking about. I wanna turn it into a drift monster and test it out. ( I think ive been watching too much Initial D!)

I was about to get a G20, the test drive was super-smooth.  I settled on a slightly older Maxima but was happy with the extra power and room.  I\'m sure you\'ll enjoy the car for years to come, Nissan makes rock solid engines.

For car audio go Alpine for the head unit, Rockford Fosgate for the amps, and speakers have a wide range of options.. depending on your budget.  Infinity Kappa\'s are nice if you are low on cash, Focal or A/D/S if you really want serious sound.

Also check here to see what speakers fit your car.  I\'d put nothing less than 6.5" components up front, if your ambitious enough you can make your own baffles to increase the size restraints.

I\'ve noticed that all you americans get extra big cars... you seem yuppies... :D Well, perhaps those nice big cars are not as expensive as they are over here.

I think I have a Fuel Injection Performance Kit for the G-20 at the office.  It\'s a cold air intake from K&N.  If you ever plan on doing any engine mods let me know.  I can give it to you for dirty cheap.

hehe, not only does this car scream mod me, but its got a site dedicated to it.

http://www.g20.net

Also, I have already picked out a head unit, I don\'t want to spend more than 800-900 on the sound for my car.  Check out this head unit, retailed for $500, but I\'m looking to get it for $350.

This one (CDA-9815) or This one (CDA-7995)

I haven\'t decided which one is better.

As for speakers I was thinking infinitys.  I\'ll probably buy the package they sell, will the components, tweeters, etc.  I\'ll deal with an amp later.

Adan- there\'s lots of space here in the good ol USA. :)  No reason to buy a cramped 2-door compact when you have lots of friends, groceries, cargo, etc.. to lug around.  And if you think the G20 is even remotely big I\'d hate for you to see a Cadillac DTS or Escalade ESV. ;)

Hurricane- those are both monsters.. 3 4-volt preouts for your future amps. :facelick:  They don\'t seem to be much different at all.  It looks like the 9815 has a better internal amp while the 7995 has better looks.. go figure.

I can think of a few good reasons to buy a cramped 2-door compact.

1.  Power-to-weight ratio
2.  Tossability
3.  Fuel efficiency
4.  They look cooler
5.  Faster to wash

BTW not having to lug around friends is an advantage.  :)

Well as most know, i love the g20 and it is far from being a big ass car. Yes adan would throw a fit if he saw some caddies:D. Personally i dont like SUV\'s and trucks all that much because they are unnecesarilly big and waste gas. Not only that but half the people that buy them just like to feel high and mighty and could care less about its off-road performance etc. Id buy a mini s over any SUV besides wagons like the wrx and outbacks etc.

Nissans will last you a loooooong time. Almost as long as Toyotas. Just be sure to change the oil every 5000 miles (don\'t believe the crap about oil breaking down in 3000 - studies have shown that it can go as long as 7000 without breaking down) and check the belts frequently for wear. Listen for squeels - that may indicate a loose belt.

And please try taking an autocross course to learn the limits orf YOUR skills as well as the car\'s limits. It\'s fun too. :)

Not having any friends is a disadvantage. :(

But yes, that car isn\'t even remotely big.

well the difference between you and me is that I worked years to make enough money to buy the car myself...  it just makes you appreciate it that much more.
