G20.net: How, when & why did you first acquire your Primera 2.0 SRI?
partypulp: After my bad experience with Audi 80, I decided to take the bus for a couple of years. I used this time to look in different magazines, adds etc. Was hoping to find a Primera SRI sedan, but in those days I could not find any. So I went for the next best thing, a 1996 Nissan Primera 2.0 SRI hatchback. After a test ride I fell in love and bought her the day after. Today, almost 3 years later i'm still in love with her.

G20.net: What were your original plans for the car and have they changed?
partypulp: I had a couple of plans in the beginning. I wanted to lower it, tint the windows, debadge it, bigger rims, paint some details inside the car and some engine mods. I did all this and much more in the year to come. I also wanted to put in a turbo, but that idea did not go as planned.. Its so expensive here in Norway.

G20.net: What performance modifications have you made to your car?
partypulp: Well not that much. Got the groundwire kit from this forum, Pipercross airfilterkit, Primera GT headers, Optima redtop battery, 2.5” custom exhaust, magnecor competition sparkplug cables, B&M shortshift and advanced the timing to 20*.

G20.net: How and when did you first find G20.net?
partypulp: I’ve heard about it from some of the more experienced Primera owners over her. Some of the guys used G20.net often and talked about it all the time.
Dulle ( on this forum ) is one of the guys. It took a little while before I signed up, but now i’m in here all the time.

partypulp: It has helped me allot. You can find whatever you want in this site. Extremely helpful, and the members are very friendly. I use this site to get ideas for our own Nissan site over here in Norway. www.nccn.no ( Nissan Car Club Norway ). You guys have done an excellent job!
