My daily driver is a 1999 Nissan Primera P11 GT, also known as the Infiniti G20 in the USA. The P11 is the second generation Primera, and took over from the P10 in late 1996. It was followed by the facelift P11-144 in late 1999, and later the P12 in  December 2001. The Primera production ended in 2008. Only around 130 P11 GTs were ever sold over here, so it’s not a car you see everyday. Though I guess you have to be interest in Nissans to separate a GT from an ordinary P11. Nonetheless, the GT model was the top of the range at the time, and is well known for it’s great handling and great engine.

  • SR20DE “high output”, 150 hp @ 6100 rpm
  • Extra gearbox cooling via a duct from the front bumper
  • Factory lowered suspension
  • Front and rear strut tower bars
  • Driving computer
