sorry to say..I might be parting with my max ...I'm looking at the Infini G20t edition..it's smaller, I think it's off the Altima model line? the I30 is off the maxima model line?

it wont happen for a few months if at all...but I wanted to get your guys feedback.

why??
is your car not running?
is it falling apart?
if it's not broken why fix it?
unless your replacing w/ a new car...then make sure your cool w/ paying out a few hundred for car and insurance.

The Altima and G20 have no relation whatsoever. The G20 is US' version of the European Primera. It's about the size of a BMW 3series, Lexus IS300, etc. Uses the SR20DE 2.0 L engine.

Well it's based on the Sentra. You'll love the stock handling over the Maxima, but you'll wish for the stock power of the Maxima over the G20. You can make the Max handle damn well with your usual suspension upgrades. I'm sure there are handling upgrades for the G20...as for power...maybe a turbo? Those Sentra would know.

Altima=I30
Maxima=Q45
Sentra=G20

DanNY

iTrader: (14)

ummm...the max is not as big as the Q45. that thing is in a class of it's own.
the altima is also in a class of it's own.

the G20 = Sentra
the I30 = Maxima
the QX4 = Pathfinder

Dan

Lj90Se

Not really the q45 is got the same desing just some changes with the interior and exterior lights//i30 and the altima also only have minor changes such as a more sloped trunk but same concept****ur rigth about the qx4

CoolMax

iTrader: (7)

DanNY's right...do the research, you'll see.

Sith

Q45 has a massive V-8, and alot more luxurious features, and also is quite abit bigger than a max. The Q45 is more like a Cadillac. The Maxima is more like a Maxima. There's nothing to really compare a max to because it makes the class that it is in.
haha

ngthing

hrmm all this information is confusing...and, there is nothing wrong with the maxima, everything is fine. I just want a new car, my parnets will keep the max. the g20t looks really small..but i dont know if it'll matter..i really like the spaciousness of the maxima.

Uhhh, NO!!
the Q45 is a rear-wheel-drive with a massive V8. the interior is NOTHING like a maxima. much larger and luxurious. this car makes a maxima look like a base model Tercel.

let's try all this again..

Maxima= I30
Sentra= G20
Pathfinder= QX4
no other models match. the infinity J30 is between the Max and Q45.. nicer than max, not as nice as q45.

They use the same engine, but it's a totally different car. The G20 is a Primera.

ngthing

What the fuc* is a Primera? hehe sounds like something that'd make you want to Daewoo

Sith

iTrader: (1)

G20 is the same class as the sentra, not the same care but same class, some what luxurious/powerfull 4-cyl. economy car.

Sith

iTrader: (1)

well actually it would be the new Sunny. Which is a Sentra but with a more luxurious max type body.

CoolMax

iTrader: (7)

never said they were the same car...obviously the names are different. They just use the same platform.

Let's try it again:

G20 = Sentra
I30 = Maxima
QX4 = Pathfinder

J30 = based on the Z?
M30 = based on the Stanza?

Feel free to correct me...if I'm wrong.

c'mon bro!!

J30 = based on the Z
M30 = based on the Stanza

i dunno about those 2..i thought the M30 was the 3rd gen max platform..and the J30 was the max also.
Dan
P.S. where's kaleb??

voltman

iTrader: (1)

The J30 has/had the same engine as the N/A 300ZX, and was RWD, but was not the same platform.

The Nissan Sentra is an entry-level compact car.

The Infiniti G20 is an entry-level luxury compact (BMW 3series, Volvo S40, Audi A4). It is the same car as the Nissan Primera found in Europe and Japan.

DanNY

iTrader: (14)

but i though we're talking about US Nissans and Inifnitys.
we can't get the Primera in the states ya know. so let's rule that out.
the verdict is still the G20 = Sentra.
i'm not talking about the "luxury" part of it. i can always get leather in a Sentra, Nav, power everything..but underneath all that it's still a sentra.
Dan

voltman

iTrader: (1)

Since we can't get the Primera, why does the G20 automatically equal the Sentra?

DanNY

iTrader: (14)

not automatically...
the G20 shares the same chassie as the Sentra. it shares the same engine too...and platform.
Dan

DanNY

iTrader: (14)

ok let me clear something up here...
yes the G20 IS the Primera but rebadged for the euro and japanese markets.
Infinity used the Sentra platform us create the G20 and the Primera.
the Primera is about the same trim line..(luxury) as the G20.
the Sunny is the equv of the sentra here in terms of features in the car.
but i think* the sunny is also w/ the sentra platform.
so basically u have 2 cars here and 2 cars over seas that share the same platform.
all 4 cars are made (maybe not sunny) on the same platform. the G20 and the Primera are better equiped compared to the sunny and the sentra.
the lower version of the sentra are powered by the GA motor and the G20 are powered by the SR motor. i believe the sunny is also the GA motor..(not 100% sure) and the Primera is the SR motor also? (also not 100% sure).
let me also add that the Infinity badge is a US only market i believe.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


Will you guys ever find it in your Hearts to forgive ME!!!!

FroMan

umm the G20 is technicly a sentra. same chassis, same frame, same suspension setup, same motor (sr20se), same interior specs, wheel base etc.

A G20 is more or less a sentra with leather.....

Blu Max

Does any body play Gran Turismo 1 or 2?Have you heard of the British Touring Car Championship? That'a where Nissan Primera's Race and alot of the time kick Accord,Countour(Mondeo),and Audi Butt,and Volvo and Vauxhall's too.A Nissan Primera is a Sporty Sedan in Japan. Over here it's called a G20 (Wifey jus' got one, 95 G20t) In Japan they come w/ Turbo here they come same engine, no turbo which really sucks, this little thing has potential,But My Max is still way more comfortable,and has way more Power too.
G20 perfect for women,Maxima perfect for MEN!

FloMax

Currently the Maxima the same as the I30, in the future, they are going to build a bigger Max on the new Q45 platform. The Altima will move up and assume the market position that he Max now fills, at least that is what I have been hearing through the grape vine.

SkyMax

The Nissan Primera British Touring Car is my favorite Nissan car... I wish I had more pics of this car.. it's incredible.

ngthing

arrg, after sitting in a G20, and Sentra, and Altma, I REALLY appreciate my maxima...I like the big car...small cars just don't cut it..I'm going to look again..$25,000 for a new G20t is appealing though, too bad it's so small. Are there any other nice cars you recc?

MP89GXE

The Infiniti M30= 240sx...oh and ngthing did you look at the 2k max?

ngthing

A rode in my friends 1996 Maxima SE, that is a NICE car...I really like it, how much different are the newer 2001 models compared to 96?

Sith

iTrader: (1)

a WHOLE lot different. haha
Better ride quality, more power. The car got a whole makeover. I would take a 5th gen over any other gen. The new Anniversary edition is awesome but i don't really like the blue. Go test drive a 01 max. Their's quite abit of difference.

SkyMax

2001 max is not much different than a 2000 max.. only 5 extra horses. The 2001 AE max has different appearance accents.

Sith

iTrader: (1)

it's alot different then the 4th gens though
