you would have to buy 2-3 of them in the span that you have a civic. Civics last 300,000 miles easy. You'd have to get a new Nissan every 100,000-200,000. That's why there are so many, they take so long before they get scrapped that they build up on the roads. Honda's also FEEL better than other cars. My civic feels like it was ment to be raced around. Other cars, well, Don't.

Ok, I think you need to rephrase the mileage question. I have a friend with a G20, that just broke 200k. The only major things he has had to replace were the clutch, and some oil seal. He still races it around. I Just sold a Nissan pulsar, that 246k on the clock. Granted it was getting tired, and could use a rebuild. It still ran great, never leaked oil, or burnt oil for that matter. I think both Honda, and Nissan motors are probably one of the best motors out there for reliability, if treated right.

Sleepy dawg,
I ain't no rice boy. As for your all powerfull G35, yeah, it'll be fast, but with a curb weight almost 400 lbs more than an S200, I'd take the S2000 anyday. And you were saying that all you see is Civics out there, and your G20 is all original. You ever stop and think why more people have civics, Integras and preludes, and not G20's. face it bro, your car wasn't built for speed. Granted, neither was mine. But there are more speed options for mine. More Turbos, intakes, exhasut options. And what do you got? a couple of $200 intakes, and a DET engine? Show me a door slammer G20 that can pull low 10's and I'll give the G props.

i will admit when it comes to after market there is alot more parts for civics then the g but dont say there is a couple of intakes how many do you need i only use 1 and there is a after market for the sr20de motor you just have to search its not like honda parts granted but just because theres not a 10 second g out there right now doesnt mean there wont be one a little while as far a exhuast i have a greddy great exhuast as long as the few chocies i have a quality i dont care

I've got what everyone else has too, and it kinda sucks, but they are so much better cars than Nissan or anything else besides VW's that you would have to buy 2-3 of them in the span that you have a civic.

But it's mostly all opinions, so continue arguing if you wish, I don't see the point. I just answered your question, that's all.

dude i had a datsun 280zx bought new by my dad raced it for almost 10 years i raced it for 3 over 350000 thousand miles they only thing that happend i messed up the clutch when i was learnign to drive thats all that ever happend nissan is just as reliable as any honda

They lack torque, but since Honda's are so light, torque isn't a problem. Sleepy, get outta this forum with your crap box G20 and get back to work. Isn't there a guy out there who needs his fries supersized?

Whats funny, is if you go to Swonder67's web site, he is sporting a nice, big, Infiniti logo on it.

[Swonder67]

yeah bro, did you look under project cars? i work on my friends G20 all the time, and peronally, I hate it. It's a 95 g20t, and even with the stiffer suspension, it still feels like it lags when it accelerates. Aight KB, you got my props. What mods you got on your car?

[200sx]

my 200 aint the shit but i still mange to beat civics, the most recent one a black si, wait isnt that the fastest civic, i dont understand why spend so much fucking money on a car that was not meant to go fast when you could save the money to buy a car that was meant to go fast and that in stock form could beat a moded civic. Yeah dumb people post here and they drive civics :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger:

[Swonder67]

I used to have a 87 200SX V6. it was a tight car, until they changed it to basically be a two door sentra. 200, your car wasn't mean to go fast either. Man, I know since you're a rice boy, you think everyone in an import is racing you. You're the type that will pass a ferari driven by a 90 year old man and you'll say, "hell yeah, I just killed that ferarri." Loser. haha.

not realy

I was refering to your immature attitude. You act like a 16 year old mommas boy.

Right now I am using my stock motor, with nothing else but an Intake. For my suspension setup, I have the KYB AGX/GC setup. I have a Jspec motor sitting in my garage, waiting to go in. I need to finish my civic before I move onto that. I plan on getting the JWT Nos setup to go into that.

[Swonder67]

Nice. So, you got the Sr20det waitin to go in, huh? Doyou have to get a new tranny to handle all the extra horses you're gettin?
