infiniti and Lexus started off in 1990. Acura started off in late 85. there was no Infiniti i would have baught if it wasn't the G35. i hated the old M and J designed. the Q was "ok" as with the I, the G20 was a joke. if you baught one of those new, you got suckered, or wanted "high" class too much.

I used to have a 93.5 G20. I bought it used and it was a great car. If I wasn't a college student when I had it I would've put a sr20det in it. I bought it w/ 43k and sold it w/ 105k to my buddy's gf. she sold it 2 days ago w/ 130k.
now as of last week, I have a G35 coupe. totally different cars and infiniti has come a long way, imo. like previously said the G20 was not a sentra, but a primera.

A number of folks in the mid- to late '90s were buying used DETs from Japan, shipping them over, installing them and heading to the strip. They'd run high 13s/low 14s right out of the box and hit high 12s with a few bolt-on mods. We're talking seriously fast two-liter four bangers that carried utterly bulletproof bottom-ends. Unlike the with the VTEC crowd who'd scratch their heads after turboing an engine and watching it explode into shiny pieces at 13 psi, the SR20 family was good for 25 psi of boost before any real reinforcement was necessary. Nissan overbuilt this engine. A lot of guys would dyno 350 to 400 whp in their daily driver with nothing more than a stronger, metalized head gasket and (obviously) a bigger turbo/looser wastegate in there.
Hope the history lesson helps. F-body/Fox/Corvette guys are usually clueless when it comes to Japanese imports and speak from the rear occasionally. (I've been known to do the same when it comes to their stuff.)
