Anyone drive nissan sentra se-r?

[Knuckle]

Looking to buy an 07' or newer sentra se-r curious if anyone has one and feedback on the audiosystem, i know it won't hold a flame to a well put together aftermarket system, but im curious as to thoughts on it and how you like the car and if there are any unusual mechanical problems that creep up in sentras or anything to watch for, ill be doing my usual online research but figured id check in with my e pals as well. :)

[Aadill]

I have an '04. The biggest complaint I have had was the fuckinng map light compartment on the ceiling decided to fall out. it's made of cheap ABS plastic and it was held on by a few tabs.

I recently had a rim repaired for a crack but I imagine that is far more related to the road conditions around here, moreso than the car itself.

Honestly the car is a fucking blast to drive: the suspension hugs well, the engine has decent power..the car is small but the engine is not, has a decent turning radius for FWD... all disc brakes rule.

I have what appears to be the stock stereo (which is still the upgraded system) and it's got enough oomph for my tastes. I get some serious mirror shaking but if you are looking to rattle the shit out of your trunk you'll have to go aftermarket.

i believe he is implying that you shouldn't troll the off topic forums since that seems to be the visage (see what i did there) you have built for yourself

[Aenor]

I test drove a couple mid 2000s SE-R Spec Vs. Didn't listen to the radio but they were fast as balls. One of them was super cheap because the lemon law had been invoked due to frame damage. Don't know if some freak occurrence happened to cause this one to have a bent frame or if it was common, but I passed on both and got a Rav-4.

ok well my budget is under 14k and im financing.its funny right after i found a nissan 350z auto with 50k miles for 15,900. im gonna try to get 14k OTD, then I came back to this thread. A 370z is way out of budget, but this gem is not .

nissan is reliable, i got a buddy that buys and fixes cars up all the time, i got no brand loyalty, if it goes fast and is a mechanically sound car you can bet ur ass im buying it :)

Went to his lot, looks like it came off the god damn showroom floor, thing was in mint condition except for the little night lights in the cabin(lol). Literally the paint looked spotless no gravel/bug paint chips on the nose of the vehicle or anything. Fluids were tip top, got a little chub driving it down 9A, and the speakers aren't half bad on the grand touring model. :o

Went to my pal lending tree and going 2 compare best rates and seize the day!

[Hasbinbad]

I would want to know how it was driven before you got it for that amount of money.. Find a mechanic who you believe will be able to inspect it with that in mind before you buy it imho.

Basically, 47k is a lot of time to hotrod a new sports car is all I'm saying.

[SearyxTZ]

I think that's a really good deal tbh, especially with all the options (leather inside, etc)

already done, 47k miles on an 03 = babied weekend ride for some rich fuck.

[Scribbles]

automatic transmission? really?

[SearyxTZ]

Manual transmission sucks imo.

*cue muscle car enthusiasts telling me I'm a newb*

I get that grease monkeys like to have more control over the engine, but no stick shift will have as smooth of a ride as an automatic. Plus it's a pain in the dick to use in heavy traffic.

[Scribbles]

Manual transmission sucks imo.

u dum?

its not about having a smooth ride- it's because its *fun*. generally people buy sports cars b/c they are fun to drive, so it makes sense 2 maximize da enjoyment level. pretty much the only setting in which a manual is dum is if you;re commuting in stop start heavy traffic

[Quizy]

i own a 91 twin turbo 300zx and a supercharged 1997 M3/ 4 DOOR with full dinan suspension..

Nissan is a great choice... BMW is tops for handling thats for sure.... i would look into used m3's maybe ...

Or possibly an s13/s14 conversion ?

[Within99]

Few questions..

what are you buying a car for?
like...
You have kids?
You want sport car?
you want gas mileage?
you want reliability?
you want cheap parts?
easy upkeep?

help me, help you.

Honda - Super reliable, great gas mileage, decent sportiness depending on model.
Don't buy a civic, pretty cheap for dependability.
Get a Vtec - 15 million Vtecs built, not a single one failed.

Nissan - Sentra's are good for family cars, 350z and 370z are ok I guess i don;t know too mucha bout them. 240sx are fun. 300zx are for extremists who like badass cars but love burning fuel.

Toyota/Scion - Reliable, good gas mileage, sporty depending on model, somewhat cheap.

Ford - No

Dodge - No

Chevy - Cobalt SS are pretty cool and Supercharged.

Subaru - other then too many imprezas like theres too many civics, hard to work on, expensive parts, somewhat reliable, decent gas milage. fun sporty cars.

Mitsubishi - eclipse's, lancers, evos, diamontes, DSM are good company, but hard to work on and expensive parts, but not a bad choice.

Basically all cars will have pros and cons ofc.

Never buy a Kia

Never buy a Hyndai

Never buy a Suzuki

oh im getting a 350z, im getting a sportscar that I can drive in the shitty traffic that jacksonville is known for, not dealing with a stick shift in this city. decided to hold off untill my student loan is paid off though.

[Within99]

alright cool.

GL man.

[chtulu]

Grats on your over weight mid-life crisis car. auto tran and no turbo. my 89 supra would destroy that thing from start to finish.

Also grats, if anything goes wrong with that auto tranny, expect to pay over $1k for anything on it to get fixed.

wow and i thought you weren't a giant twat when i read your thread :)

25 year old wants a nice car and its a mid life crisis, ive driven shit cars my whole life, but let me know how that 89 supra would be in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour.
I'm also quite sure it's a piece of shit at the moment that a tweaked civic would beat.

[Within99]

Id beat him with my Twurked CRX.

yours is also not a turbo, so good luck getting any more than another 30hp for less than a grand, where as I put in a new cat-back exhaust, boost controller kit and injectors and I'm riding at 330+rwhp

[chtulu]

in conclusion 20+ year old vehicle that I bought for 2300 rocks your 13grand paper weight,

[Within99]

Cavaliers are cool forgot about those, I know Chevy is a solid company.

Chtulu your car weights like 3400lbs, with like 205hp, lol, thats a fat donk.

350z are like 3200lbs, but have like 300hp.

I like Nissan and Toyota, but the Z is superior.

my CRX sucks anyhow, prolly can't even make it down a 1/4 mile.

[Hasbinbad]

13grand paper weight
i bet he gets more pussy than you

[Within99]

Lol, $2,300 thats not too bad really, I unfortunately agree with you about the older cars that burn new "street" cars.
I don't know how your getting 330+ out of that engine, unless there was a lot of work done to prevent a blowout.
is it twinned?

[Within99]

Wow a turbo 350z would probably cause instant orgasm.
Any who..
I bet if you add performance stickers to your car it will go faster like mine.
Or..
You could add "aftermarket" taillights because they reduce weight.
This isnt directed toward anyone I'm just lulzing.

[chtulu]

Stock 7mgte engine can sustain 18psi. I have a new headgasket with arp bolts to torque it properly for that kind of psi from the turbo.

Within, 205 is about correct for a non turbo supra. Mine has the stock CT26 turbocharger and is rated at 230 hp (172 kW) at 5600 rpm. But shimming the waste gate to open at 8.8 psi instead of 6.2, and then putting a 3inch cat back exhaust and 3 inch down pipe and boost controller can easily increase it to 16+ psi. Change out the injectors and update the ecu and you avoid fuel cut off and are able to take it up to 330 RWHP.

Granted, using the most expensive electronic boost controler (around 1000-1200) and exhaust (700 or so) I'm still well under what he put in his vehicle. And I have the targa top. I easily get more looks in my car than he does.

so let's assume the only reason I am getting a new car is so I can beat internet forum trolls at racing, I'll put as much into mods as you do on yours from stock, then you tell me who has the faster car.

Also your bastard child will be making the same argument 20 years from now how hes modding his 2010 370z that he bought for 2,300 bucks and how anyone who buys a car from within the last decade is shit. :rolleyes:

Hopefully now you see why your argument makes you look like you have downs.

[chtulu]

Come at me bro.

[Within99]

I see I see, well that's cool.
Haha, I remember when you posted that on the forum asking for advice, I tried to help a little but me and some other dude got into it about light flywheels.

350z look real sexy, and Nissan is my personal top 3 car companies, so I think its a nice choice.

Toyota just makes solid long running vehicles.

I'm on both of your sides here.

Oh, and if you drive the Supra to and from work and its not only used for drag, don't get a light flywheel unless you want to be a boss.
I was reading on a tuner thread, it was funny, this guys all..
"Heavy flywheels are for people with no clutch control"
"Light flywheel will always pull faster 1/4 miles"

I lol'd cuz it was true, light flywheels are a freakin pain to deal with, but fun.

[chtulu]

lighter fly wheel will get you to your top speed quicker in the long run, but out of the gate a heavy fly wheel will get your ass going (granted you have proper tires to hold onto that road)

[lululalana]

man chtulu's car is fucking ugly

[chtulu]

sorry im not sporting a golf or a rabbit you racist faggot.

[Dravingar]

in conclusion 20+ year old vehicle that I bought for 2300 rocks your 13grand paper weight,

Since I know you are just a troll I wont fully respond to your post, but a 20 year old piece of shit is gonna have a shitload more decay on it(Rust, bushings, bearings, blahdy blah). Sure yours might have the "super sweet ponypowers" on paper but the 350z will have a much smoother ride. Plus, your engine probably lost a bit of HP due to being 20 years old so you can't compare off the lot specs.

In short, I'm sure your aftermarket mechanic told you about how you will do mad burn outs and drifts with your car but it's really just a turd.
