Good daily driver? I'm looking for one with a manual, too.

Stay away?

It's a more luxurious Maxima, right?

For a DD I don't see how you can go wrong if you find one in decent shape.

cheers,

It's a more luxurious Sentra with an SR20.

I like em a bit, but they look like a Sentra with a cheap bodykit IMO.

Not to threadjack (again), but I just picked up a 99 Maxima SE Limited, loaded with pretty much every option, leather, sunroof, auto climate control and all, 5 speed, for a daily. It's really nice. I'll post some pics this weekend when I clean it up.

Yeah the SR20DET option is what has me interested. I think it'd be a decently fun car stock, too.

I don't think it is based on the North American Sentra. It's really a Nissan badged car sold Overseas only. I think it might be called the Primera overseas?

You have to watch out for that 5 speed in those though, it might have the 5th gear popout problem. There is a fix, I don't remember what it is though. Moof had that problem show up on his way home with his new to him Nissan Pulsar just the other day.

Pretty sure the G20 is the Primera overseas. At least that's what this girl thinks, featuring everyone's favorite brown man.

It was a rebadged Primera without all the European goodness. Came stock with the sr20de, greatest motor evAr!11!! I had one and blew the motor up in it, which is apparently impossible to do. Installing the new one was a beyotch because I kept receiving conflicting information. Otherwise, they're good cars for what they are - oh, and some come with factory LSD.

This thread has some good information. As far as years to avoid, IIRC mechanically the car never really changed all that much; just cosmetics. PM Burdman; he's had a few sr20's as well as a current G20 that I believe is boosted.

The G20T's are really, really hot IMO. When I bought my GSR, I was cross-shopping the G20t (the 99 and up version, or was it 98? 97? The last one) and the GC8 2.5RS. It ended up that the latter were too expensive, and I wasn't looking to get an SR20DET swap any time soon.

You will love the hig revving goodness of the SR20.

The G20 is basically a higher price version of my car w/ leather
and infinity badge.Great thing is they dont have a speed limiter and
a higher redline (7500rpms).

Wish I could find one around here that isnt beat to hell.

Well, the problem arises when you try to find a transmission to go with the SR20DET since there's virtually no FWD transmissions made that can handle the power of the SR20DET. Also, even with an SR20DET swap you'll still be stuck in 14 second land.

Methinks an integra would be a better choice, more expensive though.

The best thing about the SR20 is that they have the nicest cast ports around.

Some girl named Ainsley. That picture was taken right around Drexel, so I'm not surprised you've seen it.

Well, they are a step above a Cadillac Cimarron. A great 18 second car.
