You have rust spots on the wheels of your 2000 G?....I would just use some sandpaper and sand the rust out than apply some clear coat on it.

Oil--Mobile one 5w-30
Oil filter--I use Nissan filter, it has beefier body.
Air filter--I use K&N drop in. If you don't find the application for your car than try 97 200sx SE-R.
Fuel pump--???what is fuel pump

Car wash, polish, wax--I use Turtle product, specially their wax with cleaner is awesome.
Rim and tire cleaner--I just use the car wash water to wash my rim, yeah I have the 16-17 spokes rim, it is a pain. I don't even use tire cleaner.
Tire size--205/55/15 is the upgrade size of 195/60/15, yeah you can go 60 series but...side wall would look fat. I use Brigestone Potenza RE 730, it sticks.
Carpet cleaner--I use 409....
Brake pad--Metal master is great. If you can't find the application for 2000 G, then go 96 Nissan Maxima, they use same pad.
Leather clean and conditioner---I am still trying around.

Anything else?

I live in Vermont and it snows a lot here in the winter, and there is salt all over the roads. There arents a lot, but theres like 2 or 3 little dots of rust on one rim.

I have a 00 G20, and they came with the 195/65/15. You were talking about the 195/60's. You think the 205/55/15 upgrade will work for my 195/65/15? Thanks

[Kenny-G]

Yeah 205/55/15 would be fine. From factory 195/65 is standard on G20, and 195/60 id standard on T model, but the speedometer setting is the same. So there is a little bit error on the reading to begin with on either one of the model. By upgrade your in 205/55 you would gain steering response, improve acceration due to small overall diameter of the tire, but your speedometer would show faster than you actually going. And 55 series is a better idea performace-wise because most of the high-performance tires are made in lower sidewall ratio, so you have more applications to choose from. Oh, my tire cost me 90 bucks a piece and 20 bucks for shipping of all 4. Not bad. Plus installation and balance of course.

[Koojo]

Ya the 205/55 gives me more choices, I thought that I could on put on 205/60, and there werent too many of those that I was interested in. I will probably check around in the local stores for teh tires, but I dont need new ones yet since my car is less than one year old. Maybe next year I will get some. Thanks man

Air Filter:
I just checked the K&N Filter calalog online, and I looked at both the g20, and 97 200sx 2.0L. Both of them use the filter number 33-2031-1. The problem is that the catalog online lists the g20's up the the year 1996. You know if I can still get one for my 2000? Maybe the catalog is old or something, but I dunno since it lists a 99 I30 bellow the G20. Thanks

[Kenny-G]

You know what you can do. Go to a autopart store, like Al's....if you still have Al's over there...look at there air filter application chart to see if they use the same filter for 2000G and 97 200sx SER.
The filter works on my 99 but you have a 2000, they have done a minor change to the intake manifold so I am not 100% sure it use the same filter.

[Kenny-G]

And air filter for 91 to 96 G does not work on P11

[napakapa]

I have a 2000 G and i got the K&N drop-in on mine. It fits perfectly, they have it at Kragen and stuff from like around 40 bucks

[Koojo]

napakapa....whats the model number for the k&n drop in filter for your 2000 g?

[howard_w13]

Since you want 205/55 tires, it would probably be better to go up to a 16in wheel/tire combo. The bigger wheels would give your car a more aggresive look.

Just wanted to let you know that im pretty sure they make a drop in filter, but if you want a little more performance and some better sound, you should go with the JWT or Stillen POP charger. There are some pics of these on my website, and a link to how to install them. Basically it replaces your filter box, and mounts right to the airflow meter. They run a little more (because you are getting more than just a filter). You can also check them out on these websites too...

The majority of the modified G20's have these cone type intakes (and it adds about 4-6 hp supposedly)

Good luck!

for the 2000G and i think for all years, it is 33-2031-2 K&N drop-in

Dude....

Aluminum doesn't rust.

[kenchan]

aluminum does corrode into alike a green/white kinda color.

i drove around my G throughout the winter last year in heavy salt myself in chicago, but no rust. you sure it's rust and not a clump of brake dust contamination? if it's brake dust, use some cleaner wax. i'm sure you already know this, but make sure to wax your wheels with decent wax before the first snow fall. meguires cleaner wax tends to bond to the surface longer than regular goldclass wax for some reason.

if you use sand paper, touch up with clearcoat afterwards.

yeh, just go to the store like kragan or autozone and ask the clerk to list up the KN filter for the 99+ . they all fit, got one on my 01'.
