Hello everyone out there!
Hi guys, i'm new to this site so i just thought i'd say g'day. I've just purchased a 2002 SP20 on saturday, picking it up on tuesday and hugely excited. I currrently own a 92 KF TX3, non turbo... yes i'm lame.
I'm hoping someone out there can tell me the differences between the 02 and 03 SP20's? I thought the round tail lights were the main difference but i've noticed that models with 08/02 compliance dates have round tail lights. |

Welcome to AGT!
Differences are tail lights, rims & I think some sensors (but someone on here will confirm that)

Thanks!
Hey thanks guys!!! Thanks for the welcome! I'm excited picking upo tomorrow afternoon... Yeah i figured it was mostly just the tail lights, pretty sure it's a BJ-II 48 has compliance of august 02.
As for the rims... hmmm the first owner put some 18" chromies on there and consequently has introduced them to concrete gutters on numerous occasions. Think it's an Adelaide thing. They're not real flash actually, more suited to skyline is think, makes it look like a monster truck. Anyway will pop up some photos when i pick it up... It's titanium anyway and is in pretty good nick. |

oops sorry guys i guess by not listing my name i didn't realise you would think i was a bloke. Hah, sorry to disappoint anyone but i'm a chick!
Anyway i've got the car now and it's awesome! Runs like a dream, gearbox smooth, stiff ride tho with the 18's on it but handles like it's on rails! |

Hah yeah they're pretty awful... makes the car look like a freakin monster truck! Some young punk eith a skyline or commodore might want them... depending on stud pattern but they definitely dont suit the car... Will take some happy snaps this weekend...
