hey, wondering if any of you guys would care to meet and just get together and share our cars. just tell me of a meet time and place.

Hey man that would be awesome!!! :licker: :licker: :licker: :licker:

yeh, all the so. cal people, please post if you are itnerested to meet

I would be there if its on the 15th or 16th of Aug because im gonna be down there on a road trip with some friends of mine. Gonna stop by digi racer 4 sure. I wont have my G20 thou, I dont want my baby to get hurt on the trip. Rental car all the way. Hahahaha

post a good meeting spot around where everyone doesnt have to drive too much. august sounds fine, enough to round everyone together.

dude, too late man, I move to chicago last year. lived in socal for 4 years in the southern tip of Torrance. nice area. my first encounter with a modded silver G20 was on the otherside of the hill in rancho palos verdes.

gotta meet at the jamboree dudes! or how bout santamonica blvd and drag race your brains out? hahahaha!!! :D :D :D

That would be cool. I have to have a G20 first eh? Well, I haven't got one ..yet. Trying to get rid of my 94 Q45t (hope to sell it soon), once I sell it, off to get a 2000 or 2001 G20..yeah baby! :sun:

GUYS!

Please get hooked up with the SE-R Club of America. It's for owners of all cars powered by the SR20. There is a very active and knowledgeable group in SoCal.

You will be really happy you got involved with them. They have dyno days somewhat regularly where so far every car has gone home with more power, some with a lot more power. They have a track event coming up in the middle of October (this is actually being run by SoCal SERCA, much like BMWCCA and POC regions run track events).

They are a great group of folks.

Go to: <http://www.serca.org>;

Please feel free to e-mail me for more info at:

well that is a good idea, but you have to pay... well i just want to get together with G20 owners.

"You get what you pay for." Generally true.

i'm there

Whoa!

First of all, all SR20 owners are ALWAYS invited to all SERCA events. If SERCA has an event that requires payment (such as dynoing your car at dyno day or whatever), non-members do have to pay a bit more than members. But, there are a lot of gatherings that don't require any payments.

Second, there are many advantages to joining SERCA. There are enough discounts available to SERCA members to more than pay for your annual membership (should you choose to join). Hell, Chris at SR20 Development offers a discount on engines to SERCA members! That would probably pay for a lifetime membership!

Membership includes (among other things) a quarterly newsletter with original content. The size varies some at this point, but the quality of the content is high.

Do yourselves a favor and connect with the SoCal SERCA folks. You'll find them to be great folks and you aren't obligated to join!

:D

count me in!

I am down to meet up...just tell me when...lates guys let me know whats up and when...
Tony

I'd be down to meet up sometime,
What part of SoCal is central to everyone's location?
I'm in Anaheim.

im from orange county.

hey, I had a thought (I know, I know..uh oh)
I wonder if one of the SoCal Infiniti dealerships could host us.
I know the local Triumph MC dealer has a monthly ride where everyone meets, and the dealer has coffee, soda, snacks etc for folks to snack on. (yeah, I'm thinking free food :D Hey maybe even free Infiniti merchandise..hats shirts etc)
Any dealerships lurking on this forum? Speak up!
Or, anyone know of this type of thing already going on?

thats really a good idea, if anyone would be willing to go to a nearby infiniti dealer and ask if they could hold some type of g20 meeting. well im only 16 so i dont think they would take me very seriously, so anyone up for a try?

I don't think Infiniti gives a shit about us.....sorry thats what I think and thats why I hate going to dealer cuz they always bitch about what I did to the car...they say I messed up a luxury car...hahahha stupid fuckheads

at least your dealer talks to you..hehhe, everytime i go to the dealer, they try to avoid my car cuz they think my car looks like shit..hahah...dark gray rims?? trying to be dirty? super stiff ride (thanks to my JIC coilver)...what, you like blown shocks???
stripped out interior???? where did all the leather go???
oh well, but my car looks newer than most of their "new" cars hehe..cuz i wash the sucker every chance i get and wax it like u wont believe heheh...proud to say that after all the track events that i do, i dont even have a dent or scratch on my car :D
but what does the dealer knw...hehhe

I get the same vibe from the dealer, well, actually I guess the service guy. The thing is when I was buying my car some guy came out and introduced himself as the fleet manager at the dealership. He asked me if I planned on doing stuff to it, and he told me about Stillen and Jim Wolf.
Since then I have asked about which mods will or will not be a problem with the warranty, and the service mgr says ANY mods are a problem, except for wheels n tires. WTF!!??
So, I am gonna take to a different dealer from now on.

On another note- I am trying to talk with Nissan North America. Their offices are in Torrance. Would be pretty cool if they had us come in, talk about the future of blah blah blah...free junk blah, admire the modded cars etc...
So, if any one knows any one working at NNA, maybe you could pull some strings.
This is probably a pipe dream, but cant hurt to try...:smoka:

ANyways, what kind of wax do you use?? And, do you know how to get water spots out?? ANyways, yea, im interested in meeting......i live in Palm Springs, but im cool with driving a lil bit!

I know someone there. :D

I'm telling you guys, you should try to hook up with SERCA. We had a pre-production 2002 SE-R at our annual convention over Memorial Day weekend. We are beginning to get hooked up with Nissan. They are small, but meaningful steps.

If you want to keep it G20 only (I honestly don't know why you would), you will have to form a national organization and start putting on events. SERCA has taken 2 years to really get off the ground and we are only now able to get some recognition. Anyway, I'd rather see all of you join SERCA and get the benefits of that. The G20 is not the redheaded stepchild of the group. In fact, there has been a real increase in interest in the car among SE-R owners. I know of several SE-R owners who have picked up G20s for a variety of reasons.

I'm not trying to hard sell y'all, but I'd rather save you from duplicating the efforts of SERCA.

George,
yeah, I should join SERCA. I should join a couple groups between my G20 and my Tbird, but I'm a first class procrastinator.
Maybe some day I'll join, then get in contact with the SoCal Region guy, then try to work at getting something together with NNA.

Until then, I don't know if you guys still want to have some kind of meet, and where to have it...
We should all just show up at some honda dealer one day.

Phhftttt...... :p

Do I know about procrastination! :p

Let me see if I can get you guys some info on what is coming up on SoCal SERCA's schedule. I know there is a track even (organized and run by SERCA) in mid October (I may even come out for it). I think they have a dyno day coming up. Those are the best for getting to know the SR20 crowd. They are a diverse and friendly group. We even have a few cool Honda guys that would rather hang with us than other Honda owners.

Anyway, virtually every car that Mike Kojima gets on the dyno goes away with more power than it came with.

I'll find an event day for you guys. They go to R&D Dyno in Gardena. I guarantee you will see some really wicked SR20s. There are a few G20 drivers in the group who are not on this forum as well.

hey p10det you have a G20 with det motor???? if so can you tell me alittle bit about it??? I am looking to buy a motor now instead of building my own turbo...can you help me out??? I'm gathering up money to buy a Pulsar motor...my friend found one but need $1400 to get it...complete motor with harness and ECU and air mass...

$1400 WITH ecu and harness is too good to be true, check the condition of the motor, the turbo and the mileage on it.. remember, in japan, it's very small so even with around 50KM (around 30K miles) it's considered a lot. again, i sell the motors for $1500 without ECU and harness and i am selling it at a fair market price, make sure what you are getting first.

well I can get the motor even cheaper for around $1100 but thats not shipped...but the $1400 is already in the states and my friend is someone I can trust since he is a technical writer for turbo and import tuner....I will check it out of course before I buy

Yo Guys! I'm in San Bernardino, CA. When and where do we meet? Email me at [email protected] Thanks

I have to echo what Luke said. Beware. If that is really a Pulsar engine, that is a good bit less than half the market value of that engine.

Be sure the turbo checks out OK. More often than not the turbos on DETs need rebuilds.

If the turbo checks out, grab it. That's a good deal.

And yes, I have a P10 with a BB DET. If you look for the engine thread "Houston, we have ignition" you will see my list of mods.

How do you guys pass smog? When I had my SER, I turbocharged it and had a hard time finding someone to pass my smogcheck. This is one reason why I sold the turbo system and sold my car later. I am in the process of purchasing a 94 G20T and want more power, but again concerned about the smog issues.

that'll be the last thing i worry...hehehe...it's all about who you know...;)

I am in Phoenix, Az, but Id be mad down to meet all of ya's, besides, its not TOO far. BTW, is there anyone else in AZ, Phoenix??

count me!
I'm in Torrance.

Ken Lin

Dude, I know of at least 2 or 3 SERCA members in Phoenix with G20s.

yall better take some good pics! then we can have some sweet G20 pics to share!

later
i will try to head up a southern meet!

ok..i guess if we want to meet up, someone gots to organize this...
how's everyone's schedule on august 18th? it's a saturday and we can meet at the SpeedZone in city of industry next to Puente Hills mall? we can kick it there for a bit, do some cart racing at Speed Zone and just have some fun. if this is good for everyone, spread the word and let other G20/SR20 people know and if anyone's active in the SE-R mailing list ( i need to do that!) let them know too.

I'd be interested

august 18 sounds good to me.

and thanks Luke for stepping up to the plate and actually planning something.

yeh...cuz no one seems to be taking action hehe...if you guys really wanna meet, then let everyone know...how's 3pm sound?

When you guys settle on a place and time, if you'll start another thread to announce it, I'll pass the info on to the SoCal SERCA folks and see if any are interested in showing up. I know of a few folks with G20s in that group that are not here. I also think it would be nice if a few of the SE-R folks showed up just to introduce themselves to you guys.

I'll also try to get you the date of their next dyno day.

:jump:

:D Sorry guys im the one that brought it up. i guess i take responsibility for not planning it right. well anyways, im in for aug. 18 at 3 PM. do you guys know how to get there? i dont so ill need directions coming from irvine. thats south of puente hills i believe.

so far just 3 people that's itnerested...if you are intersted, please let eveyrone else know. i would like this to become a good turn out

im interested.............so thats 4

I'm in for Aug 18...is ok if my I bring my friend along and his car??? he has a maxima and he is helping me with my car...is that ok with you guys???? AznVirus I am also in Irvine maybe we can cruise up together...later

hey ty423,

well i dont live in irvine, i live like 20 mins from there, i just say irvine cause no one knows where i live, but whos your friend with the maxima? what would his name be? cause i might know him.

i know who the Maxima guy is....he's Henry's favorite guy...hahaha....if you guys remember the post early aabout a guy who drives a maxima that IMed Henry saying all these crap about G20s...he's Tony's friend!!!! :flipa: Skimax i tink its he's nickname on the Maxima.org forum....hehe, the reason i know cuz he emailed me for some part.
but i dont mind if he comes...i just hope we can get a good amount of G20 owners to come to this

I just found out I have to work on the 18th, till 2pm here in Phoenix. Even if I left right after work, Id miss everything.... Maybe we should make this a monthly or bi-monthly thing, that way we can all stay in better toch. Just an idea. Anyways, Id lke to meet all of you, but Aug 18th is looking bleak for me. SO maybe sometime down the road....***anyways, it gives me a chance to fix up my ride**

ya we could set up another meeting if thjs one goes good. :D

oh plz oh plz can i come too??????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

thats not cool luke! mister auto, blau blau eh?

Aug 18 sounds good, good idea, Luke!
Been there once three years ago when I just came to LA. .
I'm a foreign student from Taiwan. My English is not very good, so guys please be patient. Sometimes it takes me a few seconds to say something.
Also, I'll bring a Primera guide printed by Hyper-Rev if some of you haven't read it before. There are some useful info in this book.
I look forward to meet with you guys!

Ken Lin
Hate that groaning wheel!
:cool:

I'll be there! Cant wait, it should be fun......:D

damnit go faster go faster!

great! seems like it's gonan turn out okay..
just one suggestion...do you guys wanna meet by SpeedZone in Puente hills or you guys wanna meet at a park or a less crowded area? the reason being is that it gets REALLY crowded at that place on weekends and since i ever organize this sorta events, my friends who have been doing this kidna stuff with hondas, says that parks would be better and we can have a bbq or whatever...anyway, suggestions?
btw, skimax hehe...hope to see you there :)

ya Luke, i suggest we do it somewhere not with a lot of people. that way we could find each other easily and we wont get lost.

As someone who has organized a lot of gatherings in the SR20 community (including the 2000 SE-R National Convention), I agree with Luke. I think you guys would be far better off gathering some place less crowded. It's much easier to socialize. Also, since you guys are meeting for the first time, it's better not to be doing all the SpeedZone stuff. You won't really get to know each other very well doing that. If you want to make time later for that, fine, but I'd really suggest meeting some place that isn't very crowded where y'all can drool over each other's cars.
:jump:

oh man..no games?? hehe yeah a park sounds fine......cant wait to bring my camcorder and film some sweet looking rides!

Can we hurry up and decide before my car gets too old???...hurry and set a date and time and see if we are going to have a BBQ or something...damn hurry

well...first, we need to decide on where to meet...i was hoping to see suggestions posted here....anyone?? still interested??
need some feed back people :confused:

ok, august 18 ok for everyone right? well how about some time in the afternoon, say about 12 and everyone can go home whenevers. that cool? :bandit:
