Trim / Codes

The 2001 Nissan G20 carried over its 2.0-liter SR20DE four-cylinder engine with minor exterior and interior updates, including revised front-end styling and equipment adjustments. The model was offered in base and SE trims with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Common service considerations include inspecting the timing chain and tensioner, replacing leaking valve cover gaskets, and monitoring oil consumption on higher-mileage examples. Suspension components such as struts, bushings, and ball joints, along with automatic transmission fluid condition, are also worth checking.

  The 2001 Nissan G20 is a front-wheel-drive compact sedan powered by a 2.0-liter SR20DE inline-four engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. It uses front struts with a multi-link rear suspension, and trim levels were limited to base and Luxury variants. Typical maintenance focus includes timing belt and water pump service, since the SR20DE is an interference engine, along with valve cover gasket and oil leak repairs. Other common items include spark plug and ignition coil replacement, oxygen sensor service, suspension bushings and struts, and automatic transmission fluid changes.
