Hey guys, can someone tell me the difference between the 93 G20, 93.5 G20 and 94 G20?

A couple differences I have noted from web information (accuracy?) is the 94's have R134 freon vs. R12. I'm not sure if the 93.5 have R134 or not. The 93's also have the stiffer suspension that carried over to the TOURING model option of 94-96. The standard models for 94-96 had a softer Americanized suspension.

91-93 are the same. 94-96 are the same. 93.5 is halfway between.

Suspension is the same 91-96. I don't think there is such a thing as touring suspension. On 94-96 models, the touring package added spoiler, LSD, can't remember what else.

93.5 has R134a A/C

There was a high port and a low port engine + emissions stuff varied, don't know years.

B-boogie- once we get the correct info it needs to be in the FAQ.

93.5 Went to:

Dual airbags
No motorized seatbelts
6 speaker system
Front power seats (in leather)
Keyless entry
195/65 14 tires (touring may still be 195/60)
Still High port engine
No AIV
R134a coolant in A/C
New RE4F03A Auto Trans is in there

On the 91-93 G, the intake cams have a more aggresive profile on the intake cam. So depending on what year you have, this will be a simple but effective way to increase power.=) As for the rest of the changes, it's mostly cosmetic.
(Remember intake cam ONLY.)

Did this cam result in any HP differences? or was the less aggressive cam compensated for in other areas maintaining the same HP rating?

Were there suspension differences? I thought I read elsewhere on the G20.net that the standard suspension from 91-93 carried over to the Touring models.

No suspension differences. Same thing.

I don't know exactly what changed for the engine to maintain the same hp rating, but the changes made plus the more aggresive cam should make for a nice gain in hp. =)

I know the Touring models came with a limited slip and a folding rear seat, did any 93.5 have these? Or was there a 93.5 TOURING model?

My 93.5 does NOT have keyless entry..

The 91-93 had an older style ABS unit (newer one in 93.5-96)

The 91-93.5 had the same grill while the 94-96 had a different one. Other cosmetic things... the 91-93 had black molding, 93.5 started with color body molding. The 93.5 still had the black handles while the 94-96 had the chrome ones.

There are other differences too.... 94 and up had a better passanger motor mount that was refined. My 93.5 has the newer one now.

...plus some other things that I'd have to ask the tech about but I know when I bought it I was told the 93.5 was a better buy than a regular 93 because of some of these changes like the ABS unit (I guess the older one tended to fail around 120K)

I have a 93.5 but still have the AIV stuff

U have a JDM spec tho? Might be different?

Apparently, it all depends on what date the 93.5 was made.. I think even the shop manuals are wrong in some of the cases (I was told this).. because I had a few of the pre 93.5 parts on my 93.5 that have since been replaced... (IE. some part that takes care of shifting somehow where the old one did not have proper housing coverage and allowed water into it and shorted it out sometimes when trying to get into 2nd gear -- I don't know the name of the part, only that it was on the driver side and I saw the physical differences.. the shop manual said all 93.5s had the newer style but that wasn;t true) .... my guess is that Infiniti/Nissan used the old parts up to a point before going to the newer style on things. I do have the new trans but was told that some 93.5s don't... I thought my trans was shot but found out it was just this silly part instead (thank god)....

Had AIV on my USDM spec too...

Mine don't

Another small difference - the 1991-1993 G20s had a lighter orange on the turn-signal parts of the taillights. For '94 Infiniti went to a darker red-orange.

Basically from HERE to HERE.

1 point for Colin. :D

ok, cocky questions... from what i read... is 93 considered one of the best p10s? :monkey:

Well that would depend on taste i guess. When it comes to the motor I guess you're right. 93's have the high port which, I've read, has a more aggressive intake cam. But that motor is shared with all 91-93.5 P10's.

Can anybody list the stock radio/cassette/cd player compatibility? I've got a 93.5 that needs one, and I've got a stock cd player from a '96. Will that be plug and play? I know 91-93 had a cassette player setup with different plug/harness. The 93.5 has the six speaker setup.

Hate to revive such an old thread, but I'm a newb to G20's so I have to ask.

Do only 93.5+ touring pack cars have the LSD? I actually like the black trim and door handles of the earlier cars but if the later ones have LSD, then my mind is made up.

LSD -> 94-96 g20t

93.5 did not come in touring.

mid-'93 introduced softer suspension bushings. also in mid-'93 the AT's recieved electronic shift controls. itd be cool to have a sticky that lists all recall info for the G20.

I got a 93 (made in 92) the black trim interior is the best looking in my opinion (with Gray)... Also I think my has the LSD. And about the ABS yeah, it does go out, I've been trying to trouble shoot mine.

the earlier g20s had white markings on the ac vents and the 94-96s had black as well. The biggest change is from high port to low port and the touring package (black leather interior, lsd, spoiler, fogs, and 195-60-14 tires) along with the different grille and obd2. The suspension was all the same. 94-96 was not available in ivory or red either.

mid-'93 introduced softer suspension bushings.
Nope. The only suspension change was from going from the 195/60/14 to 195/65/15 tires. All they did was increase the sidewall height of the tires. The rest of the suspension is pretty much the same. :geek:

Rear sway bar is smaller on 93.5 onwards.....;)

What's the difference between a RE4F03A and a RE4F03B transmission by Nissan?

Did you mean to type a V instead of the B ??

The V has a viscous limited slip differential. It's found in the Touring model.....

Hence the cover-my-a$$ statement:

...pretty much the same. :cycle: :naughty:

The early one is 42% stiffer Howard...cheap junkyard upgrade ;)

I try not to think about transmissions .......... They bring me out in a cold sweat :shhh:

My mom has a 93 made in dec of 92. I have a 93.5 made in june of 93.
The differences...
93.5
Dual power seats
audio system upgraded with Clarion amps in trunk and tweaters in the pillars
heated power mirrors
dual airbags
headrest in the rear seat
front seats are softer and plush with pockets in the back
dual lit vanity mirrors
non powered seatbelts
instrument cluster has dark grey icons rather than white.
font in instrument cluster is more classier rather than sporty in 93. :(
both models have the exact same horsepower!

yup, what about the interior color>?

Some '93.5s have high port engines IIRC.

here to ress a dead thread...

i've read this thread about 4 times through all 3 pages and want to know what is the easiest way to see if it is a 93.5? i will be checkin out a non-t 93 g this thursday (maybe even walk away with it). can i safely assume that by looking at these parameters that its either is or is not a .5? i will look at the production date as well, to back things up. im sure the dual airbags will make it obvious though......wish me luck! :smile:

a 93.5 will have black door handles but no black trim on the bumpers or doors

a 93.5 will have black door handles but no black trim on the bumpers or doors

HMMM will it easily fit onto a 95t? I'd like the black, versus the stock chrome handles.

it should.

All I know is that installin the early intake cam on a 95 engine rocked!!! I guess when they updated the air intake system, they retarded the cams... tryin to keep within California emissions standards (me thinks), but I have no idea where that thread is.. but it's on here somewhere!

is the lsd in the 94-96 that inportant?

It is definitely better. I like it a lot.

is the lsd in the 94-96 that inportant?

in the winter on ice / snow its very helpful. Otherwise, unless you drive fairly aggressively, you may not notice the difference.

Any cosmetic difference in the front end of the ´96 vs the older ones?

I´m new with g20`s :)

The only cosmetic change on the front end is the front grille 91-93.5 vs. 94-96. Other than that, the only change was the amount of paint on the bumper.

91-95 have black trim running along the bottom of the bumpers (unpainted plastic) and on the rocker panel (black paint). On 96es, that's all body-colored.
