PRIMERACING20 - Seattle G20 Club

Hey everybody-

A new club for G20s up in the Seattle area has started. It is called PRIMERACING20. We came up with a logo and now are ready for our first meeting. This is sort of annoucement/invite to everybody. Our old thread was getting a little long so here is a new one.

http://www.liquid2k.com/primeracing20/finallogo.jpg

Okay PRIMERACING20 members, any sugestions on when and where we are going to meet?

Also everybody reply on how many rear stickers you want. I'll take 4.

I'll get a quote early next week. TIZAO, you know I'm just playin' wit cha!....I'll try not to break anything up there, mine or anybody else's....I'll let you guys know about the price. How many people do we have in the club thus far? It seems like we lost one or two...

Hey, guys. I'm a soon-to-be G20 owner living in the Seattle area (Kent, specifically) and would be interested in getting together with fellow Infiniti enthusiasts. I'm pretty new to this board and am curious how did you came upon this name? Since this is a Seattle only club, and since the Primera is not sold in the US, why have it in the name? Also, since this is an enthusiast club and not a racing league, why have "racing" in the name? I'm not trying to disrespect your club. I'm just curious why you didn't choose a more direct name or acronym instead. Something like "PSION" (Puget Sound Infiniti Owners Network) or "ASGO" (Association of Seattle G20 Owners). Those aren't great examples, but i think you get what i mean. Anyway, just curious as to why you chose the name you did. Be sure to announce when your first meeting is. Even if i'm not a member of the club, i'd like to stop by and meet you all and see your cars.

Cheers,
- Cue-Ball

OOOOHHH NNOOO. We're already past that step; the name is pretty much final. It's not meant to be taken so literally. Primera is in the name because one of our members is doing a Primera conversion and wanted something with Nissan and Infiniti in the name. We had many names, this seemed to fit the most. I came up with the name. Our meet is soon; agreed to be in Bellevue because we have members all across the state. We're of course looking for more members. Please refer to the old thread "Seattle area G20's" to learn more about us and our cars. BTW guys, if you look under "Greddy exhausts", I posted a pic of my MX. Catch ya guys later.

Whoa whoa whoa! I thought we were meeting in Seattle! Its closer than Bellevue....ahh....and I thought we are metting after the holidays.....right? So we can all settle in and ish? Well....I wanted to meet in Seattle and after the holidays....cuz I am really busy right now...and I do remember someone sayin somethin about meeting after the holidays, so I know I am not the onlyone. Well.....just keepin it real.....:bloated: :alien: :licker: :smoka:

I thought that we were meeting in Enumclaw??? Boy was I way off. Anyway, after the hoidays is ok. Before the hoildays is ok. Bellevue is probably bettern than Seattle, due to the surplus of parking (not to mention, it's free). It really doesn't matter though. I still think that we'll all be a lot less busy afterwords. My shop appointment is getting closer. By January 1st, my ride will be complete. OH YEAH! It's good to see that we're getting more comments from owners in the local area! Ahh, back to work tomorrow...so long weekend...

So do we know for sure how many are in? Isnt it only like 5 or so>?:alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka:

Let's just get it out of the way. Bellevue is where we meet. Where? Red Robin? After the holidays is a must if we want a full attendance. Plus that gives me a little time to get newer Yok Paradas. Hopefully we can ge our stickers soon; Rob, any luck?

Red Robin is good food. Plus I won a gift certificate bowling that I haven't used yet May I recomend the one in Overlake instead of Bellevue. If you don't know it is two miles east. Actully a Redmond address since the Bellevue city line is 30 feet away. Parking lot is huge since it is in the Sears shopping center so we can spread out and take a whole row like most car meetings do.

Rob and I are working on the stickers. I sent him a high res copy and size for the p10. He'll get a quote next week.

Redmonds cool, I have a cousin that live next to Totem Lake Mall. I'm always out at his place. How often do you guys want to meet, once a month, bi-monthly, what?

Someone's gonna have to give me directions!:( I dont konw where the hell this Red Robin is.....well I guess I can use Yahoo map thingy.....but am I the only one with a pretty stock car right now? I almost feel like this isn't the club for me just because I dont have a job or money......I wont get a job till after Feb, when Wrestling is over. And.......I am quite a bit younger than everyone.....except for one who is 18.........But if you guys dont mind.....then that's coo........I'm not backin out......just expressin my feelings....:cry:......well thought that would be good to get out of my system....HEY BYRON....how much for the strut bar? Ok...well better get goin.....let me know what you guys think. Dont know if you want a young one around. :alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka:

I still haven't gotten a hold of my cousin. Guaranteed to talk to him this weekend, I'll get the price.

Don't worry, Tao. You're not going to be the only one with a pretty stock car attending. While i'm not officially a member of the club, i'm going to try to make the gathering and meet everyone. And my car will is bone stock. And Robs car is fairly stock too (though it will be more modded by the time the event rolls around). Just think, once all these guys go turbo you can score some cheap 2nd hand N/A parts. :-D

So any ideas when?

Anyway here are the directions to Red Robin:

From North of Bellevue:

Head south on 405
SR520 Redmond/Seattle exit is the two right lanes
Of those two, the Right Lane goes West to Seattle, Left Lane goes East to Redmond

About one&half mile east of the 405 intersection, but don't quote me on the exact mileage, is the exit.
Take the Southbound Exit for NE 148th ST
Be in the left lane of the exit after you leave the freeway.
You turn right automaticly at the end of exit.
Take the next left and be in the right of two left turn lanes.
CAUTION!!! durring the turn there is a metal plate thing in the road so either hug the bumps or go wide and straddle the object. Although on second thought this may have dissapeared when they just paved it.
Immeditly turn right into parking lot
Immeditly turn left and parke where the rest of the G20s are.

If you wan't to take the twisty backroads go ahead, but I'm not helping you get unlost.

That's funny, that's the same Red Robin I was thinking of. I always thought it was Bellevue though. Now, we just need a date. Obviously sometime after Christmas and New Years.

That is a tight name. But how do you prenounce it>?

Yeah I consider it Bellevue even though it isn't. You can't called it the Bellevue because there is one two blocks west of NE 8th and 405. But you can't call it Redmond either becasue there is one in the new mall.

Thanks for answering my ? I must be an outkast up in dis thread.

That's the whole idea. How do you pronounce it? Most likely, if you were to just glance at it. Most people would think prime racing 20. Yet, those of us that know our Nissan's, see the Primera racing and G20. I say pronounce it any way you want.......and NO you're not an outcast.

Sorry, I actully clicked on reply before you posted and the window was sitting on my computer for a while before I had a chance to fill in the reply and send. Its finals week and I'm busy studying and finishing things up.

We never went over that...I sort of assumed you say each part individually even though is squished together in text form.

I wouldn't mind putting that on my G20. The name has kinda like 2 meanings so it is unique. Good thinking. Maybe I could represent down here in Texas. But I'd probably be the only one. There aren't many G20's down here at all. I see more Plymouth Prowlers that I do G20's. Allright, I'ma get out this section, just wanted to give up some props on the name.

- Cue-Ball Hey man come join.......it would be great to see you there........all we ask is that you put the primeracing20 in your sig. just like everyone else. And let us know a little bit about your self. :alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka:

Nah, that wasn't me. Matter of fact I am getting some in the mail in a week or 2. The springs in my sig.

Yea I just remembered I think it was droptech......:alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka:

Hey Rob, wondering if you happen to find out about the sticks? If not, no worry, just curious.

a club.. interesting..

here's a little bit about my car,
it was purchased march 97, remained stock until august 98 when i added a t28. that's right. went straight for the good stuff. :)
there were no 'kits' at the time, so it was a major headache gathering parts.
5th gear went out 4 months ago and that was fixed yesterday with a used LSD transmission. i finished it this morning at 5.
the car's been thru a lot, including five cross country trips between atlanta and seattle, but still no sign of any problems.

this is what i have on the car,
T28,JWT ECU,370cc, EVC4,Multichecker,JWT PP,Urethane Mounts,Eclipse Intercooler, Custom Intercooler Pipes, KYB GR2, and for looks - piaa lights and primera sidemarkers.

anyone know a place with a dyno? i got 200whp last time and i think i can do better.

-david

Don't have any info yet. I told TRBOBRK I was going down to the shop early next week. So, I probably won't have a price until Monday or Tuesday. I'm taking my ride in to Kirkland on Tuesday afternoon to have the HVLA start-up noise looked at (if that's what it is), my foglights fixed (possible short in them), my brakes checked (they're brand spankin' new and they're squeakin' like crap), and an oil change. I sure am glad I'm still under warranty! I hope I get a good loaner... Can't wait for the 1st meeting, we gotta get those stickers on our cars!

Oh s*#T fastest P10 in WA?.............maybe.......he hee.....do you have pics of your engine and mods? I would like to see. Sorry dont know a place to dyno.....!:alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka:

94g20 -- The only dyno place I know of is in Kirkland. It's called Carburetor & Fuel Injection Connection. They specialize in engine callibration and dyno tuning. You can call them at (425) 820-1871 or visit them on the web at www.carbconn.com. Good luck! I'd love to see your engine too, do you have a pic?

my friend jay has some pictures on his webpage. these were taken a few months after i installed the turbo. i'll have more available when i find them.

http://nx2k.dynip.com/thumbs/david_kim_g20t/index.htm

There's a Hot Rod dyno in Lynnwood on 196th.

Do you guys know of any shops locally that sell TEIN?

Did you try Ultraspeed? I think that's the only place besides $Bellevue$ that would have semi-good prices. Either way, TEIN coilovers (which is what I'm assuming your talking about) are gonna be a little pricey.

TIZAO...BTW. The Top Speed carbon strut tower brace is $125 shipped (all said and done). LMK.

Damn I thought you said it was fake carbon......well, must be real.! he heh Does anyone have one forsale that is less than $100? And hey can I get a pic of that? My friend says he may want one.:alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka:

LMK? Means?

I should have the quotes by the end of the week for the stickers. I gotta drop my G at Kirkland Infiniti tomorrow for a little work. I'll let you guys know the price soon...

Hey would your intrax fit my 93.5?

TIZAO...nope, it's carbon look. Real carbon fiber would be close to $300-400. I know the Stillen STB is approx. $215. So in reality, it's a good deal. It's gonna be hard to get a good lookin' STB that actually has the needed support for under $100 new; even used for that matter. No, Rob's P11 Intrax's won't fit your car. The fronts will fit, but not the rears because P11's have a TOTALLY different rear suspension than the P10. By putting just the fronts on could make your car highly unstable. Anyways, it's really not a bad price considering that $125 is cheaper than most out there. Here's a pic

:D

Let Me Know

Allright. After my daily bank and post office run, I popped into Fast Signs. I have a quote in writing for $8.50 per sticker, if we take 20. I know that we all are going to want 2. If we take under 20, it will be $9.00 per sticker. The main reason for the price is becuase of the fading colors. I guess it's hard to do that (cheap anyway). $8.50 or $9.00 really isn't that bad to me. So, I'll wait to hear what you guys think. Can someone tell me how many are in the club? I think we lost a few along the way?!??... They are going to put a proof together and fax it to me by Monday so I can see what the finished product would look like. Remember, the stickers are going to be 7.5" wide, and about 1" high...BTW, I had my car in the shop yesterday for an oil change and my 50K overhaul. They gave me a brand spankin' new I35 for a loaner. NICE CAR! If I was 50, I'd roll one! Looks very similar to the Q45 inside...

I'll take 4. Do you have paypal? Are the stickers going to have the black border around them?

I don't have Paypal. I'm not even sure how you guys want to take care of the payment. I do know that I don't want to go down and place the order until everyone that wants a sticker has paid (that way we know the total stickers needed), and we need to figure out how to pay first. As for the black border. Here's the deal. In order to have the black border, they would have had to do stickers which weren't the "peel off letters". They would have looked like an actual sticker (square, with the logo on them). So, in order to get the peel off lettering, we had to drop the outline. If this isn't kosher, let me know, and I will cancel with them and we can look somewhere else. I still think it will look really trick without the outline. It's going to be italicized of course. Anyway, just let me know...

Paypal, or I could stop by and give you cash.

I wouldn't trust anyone, you shouldn't either. EVERYBODY REPLY QUICKLY!!!! I want my stickers.

Thats okay. Dosn't really matter much. I think is looks better with the letters seperate so I guess I can't have it both ways.

Everythings cool. When will you be able to get them? You should e-mail me your address and I'll snail mail you money which should only take 2-3 days tops. No outline is cool with me.

I can get them done asap if we want. They will need a few days to complete them all. The problem is this--everyone is excited to get the stickers, but we don't know yet if we're going to make the 20 sticker minimum for the price break or not. I'm taking at least 2, TRBOBRK's taking 4, nis.k.a is probably taking 2 and I'm not sure what TIZAO's doing (or anyone else for that matter). So, I've got a count of 8 so far. That's 12 off of the price break. Once we know EXACTLY how many we need, I can have it done! I can email my address to y'all, but I really don't want to sit on your money while waiting for people to make up their minds. So, let's let the weekend go by, and hopefully by Monday, we'll have a total. BTW, I received the faxed proof today, and it looks really good! I'm goin' to Alpental tomorrow to fall on my face a lot, wish me luck....

Okay it has been a couple days but we havent heard from everybody. I think we nee to put a time limit on this. BTW, not haveing 20 is not that big of a deal. Saving 50 cents a piece doesn't matter unless we where buying them in huge quanitys.

Let's go everyone, let's get those stickers made. I'm ready. Also, who's gonna be at Hot Import Nights in April? I'll most likely be in the show with my cousin. Either way I'm gonna be there. Everyone come by and have a good time. Represntin' PRIMERACING20 at HIN.

hey all!

just wanted to know what's there to do in seattle at around midnight; anything near seatac?

clubbin'

TIZAO, do you want 7.5x1" stickers for your car. $9 a piece. Soon as you respond we can get them.

When and where is HIN going to be? It sounds fun, I've read a lot about it. We can have the stickers made any time. I kinda assumed everyone was busy, since I hadn't heard much...Hope everyone has a good Christmas. I'm off all next week! Oh yeah! If anyone wants to hook up at hit an import shop or something, let me know...

It was fun last year, but I was surprised how small it was and how much they charged for it.

I would say wait until TIZAO responds and then get them.

I am short on money right now.....I will get one eventually.....but I just bought a lot of stuff and I have litteraly $10 in my account......and like I think it was 3 ones and 2 pennies in my wallet! Yea I am broke as a joke. If you want to order me one and hold it thats cool. I will be able to get it by the end of JAN. or when ever we do meet. But if not that is cool. Let me know whats up! Hope everyones x-mas was great.....Wish I got ish for my CAR!! Santa didnt even show up this year! HOw gay is that! Well talk to you guys soon! :alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka:

Okay I think we have a total of 10.

TIAZO can't afford any.
TRBOBRK will take 6. 4 for me and I hold 2 more for TIZAO.
nis.k.a wants 2.
G20Rob3 wants 2.

I can stop by the sticker shop when you order them and give you cash. Tell me when you want to meet. You are going to the one on southcenter parkway right?

Cool. I'll call Fast Signs tomorrow (yes, the one on Southcenter Pkwy). I'll try my best to get them to stick to the $8.50 pricing. Santa brought me one tangible thing...this Recaro mini racing seat cell phone holder. It's pretty cool. I saw it in a magazine, and had to have one. My wife says Santa picked it up in Bellevue. The big gift, was my lowering, exhaust and intake. I'm making the call tomorrow, and setting up the appt. and getting the stuff ordered. I'm so excited. After that, she's given me the go ahead for a new tire/rim package, Koni shocks and my Stillen STB and rear sway. Then, my ride will be complete...I'll let you guys know ASAP about the pricing on the sticker (I'm shooting for $8.50, but it's probably going to be $9). Then I'll place the order either tomorrow or Thursday. I think I pay when I pick up, so I'll let you guys know...

Cool...LMK when you get ready to pay for those. Remember you have to shoot me your home address so I can get that $ to you asap. Hopefully I can get my spokes powdercoated gunmetal before the show. Time to set up a meet.
