I'm not gonna act all official so IMO I think they would come out with stuff for the g20. I mean if they make things for the b13 or 14 sentra se/se-r's than they should for the p11 (the early g20?) too.

Oh yeah. Expect the SR20 powered cars to receive full support. After all, the majority of the Nissan drivers who make modifications are driving SR-cars, or Z-cars.

He's a hell of a lot smarter than hondas new CEO. That guy is dumb as a sack of bricks. We honda owners should pray that Honda realizes there is a huge market for performance products. Maybe then we can get a break. I already miss my Nissan.

i hope Nissan of America gets it act together and start selling more of there models from Japan like the S-15 Silvia and Skyline GT-R, i know the Skyline is coming to america soon, but why in the hell did they make such a ugly ass car, i love styling of the R32, R33, and R34, but this new radical design is too tacky for American enthusiasts and probably won't sell as many of them as they hope to. Now if they start main streaming more cars like the S-15 Silvia and the R34 Skylines here in america, i would most defineatly be at my Nissan dealership in a heartbeat to order one, especially if they sold them for prices like they have in Japan, more of the under $50,000 margin unlike the $90,000+ ones that MotoRex sells. I hope Nissan is listening to this post because i know hundreds of people just in my own town that would sell everything they got to get there hands on a new S-15 Silvia or a R34 Skyline. also, whats with the new look on the 350Z, why is everything these days turning into more of a retro look of the future, i think it looks like rhino dung to me!!! they need to have more enthusiasts like us to run the show of the big Japanese automotive corporations who actually know what kinds of cars would sell here in America, its like come on!!, why can't we have the sr20det's and rb26dett's put in our cars here. bottom line is, Nissan is doing a smart move by bringing there Nismo high performance line here, but isn't time they bring there best of the best cars here too??? if they want cars to be sold like hotcakes on a cold winter day, bring us the goods from Japan, and cut the bullshit already!!!

seriously, like i said there are so many people here in the U.S. that would literally kill to have some of Japan's finest automobiles, but yet they still refuse to sell them here! what is wrong with this picture, thousands of American auto enthusiasts who want nothing but the best, and would practically sell there souls to the devil to have cars like the S-15 Silvia or the R34 Skyline GT-R. but yet we all fall subject to piece of crap domestic cars, that have no real idea of what a true sports car is (even though i cant say that my 89' Mustang twin turbo'd 5.0L with NOS dragger is a piece of shit that does mid 8's, but got my ideas from the import trends of turboization). we have such high demands of Japan's elite cars, but still we get watered down versions if even that!!! truthfully i would shit my pants the day that we finally get Silvia's and Skyline's streamlined here in America, because they are such awesome cars. sad thing is that not that many people here in the U.S. have such knowledge of such fine automobiles as us enthusiasts and have to settle with big fat ass SUV's and family sedans. its like come on, even in Japan there family sedans are turbo'd and mostly have rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive at that. instead we have to settle for front-wheel driver granny cars that only soccer moms and the elderly would ever buy. u can count me out on those deals!!! what would the world be like without our precious rice rockets from the far east??? i know that it would be one shitty life to me with out mine! at least we are finally getting Nissan to give us the Nismo line of products, and i also heard the the Mitsubishi EVO might as well be coming over seas too! im a big time WRX fan and cant wait to see the Japanese send more cars over to contend with the new Scooby. it seems like to me, ever since they released the WRX here in America more of the Japanese elite cars are finally going to make appearance here in the land of the free, because if they didn't, Subaru would run away clean with the best import cars of the century without any compitition. thank god! its about time the Japanese see what kinds of enthusiasts we are and how much we really appreciate their top performing cars, and how we despirately want them to be sold here in America!!! hopefully one day we will finally see Silvia's and Skyline's grace this side of the world in the production line!

All I can say is this. We get the crap when it comes to import automobiles. Even in the Euro market. I know for a fact the BMW M3 does not pump out 333hp in Germany. Its something closer to 400hp. We get all the downsized stuff mostly, cause the NTA allow it. They are not concerned with style or speed, only reliablity and effeciency. Its like those dick heads can't see the load of crap before they agree to purchase it. In my book, Honda is going to take a major dive in popularity. (this is sad cause they have run the import scene for over 2 decades.) Reason why? They over charge for Mugen, SPoon, and JDM parts. Which makes Only a few buy there stuff. Stupid business move. Until Nismo puts their foot in the dirt here, noone will make a move. Honda's rep is solely built on calculation not risk. Thats why Acura came to be, (Acura = Risk)

i hate the fact that hondas are seen on practically ever single corner of the street, everyone and there grandma has one!!! i think its about time that companys like Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Mazda and so on to bring there top models over if not back. Toyota quit selling the Supra here but continues to sell them in Japan, same as the Mazda RX-7. I know the reason why they did pull out their production of these fine autos from America only because they priced themselves out. it was a sad day when the 3000GT VR-4, 300ZX, Supra, and RX-7 had to have their plugs pulled, but we will always love these cars for their power and beauty!

The sad part is, now they are trying to come back, but the power is being neglected big time. One would thik the new ZX350 by Nissan would push at least 290, nope, its so far ranged at 260? WTF? On a car this heavy, I could beat it while riding a scooter. Others are victims, to, all in all, I am simply complaining but it really is becoming a problem. There is a market that can now be dominated by Domestic cars, but these auto makers are too stupid to see it. All I can say if Ford is catching on quick with the Focus SVT, the 2003 Cobra mustang (its pushing 390HP ddddaaammmnnn), and of course the F150 lightning and Harley Davidson editions. Power is still a big part of the driving experience. Until foriegn automakers realize this and stop giving us the pussy cars, we will continue to see the import compacts getting tuned. ( IMO the best thing to do anyway.)
