thanks
it has an sr20de :)
lol you shouldve looked at my username :-p:lol:

summer it should have a nice new heart (sr20ve+t and thats where im leaving it at for now cause everything else about the build is being pretty much kept secret except to those who ive needed help from. i like the surprise factor being there:wink:)

nice specv very clean
why do you have that "4QT" written on there? you dont do your own oil changes?

the 4qt has been on that cover for like ever. although i allways out 4.25 qts in. i erases it since, cuz putting jwt bsr kit soon and it alows for an aditional 1 qt of oil.
nice choice on the motor. the 4th pic down, the silver car to my right, was a b14 200sx ser with a sr20ve all motor. those motors are sick. i want to do that for my 240 build im planning (sr20ve-t)
haha yeah i saw the pics of the engine and was like a reptop head?? haha wasnt sure. then figured it was painted.

the only bad thing about ve+t builds and people not knowing much about them is you dont have that many to talk to if you want to know if +1mm oversized valves for a ve head will hit on cp 8.5:1 pistons in a de block.

[nissanspeed666]

Love that JDM sentra! I was going to do a GTiR turbo swap in mine but with having the 1.6 motor its ALOT more work then expected and for a daily driver I cant afford it being down longer then a weekend. Im actually looking into getting a '03 se-r spec v and doing a whole custom skyline look.

[JSpecV03]

^^with an 03, i think the car looks great the way it is. just a lip, lower, and wheels and it looks good.

[TurboV]

I have a few Sentras... just a few :P

car looks good man !!! I likey post up pics when you get the slips on :)

[DC2.2GSR]

i wish i still had my B13. i think i might try to find another one for a DD. mine was an XE with every SE-R part except for the SR. i was planning on going with the SR20VE and eventually maybe throwing on the stock GTI-R turbo parts, but the car blew out with rust. it was a matter of about 3 months between when i first noticed a few specs of rust until i had 3 inch holes lol.

haha, I don't think you realize I'm cute02spec :P

I don't have any good recent pics of my Spec as it hasn't left the garage in a long time... but here's a yummy built engine pic... sleeved block, rods, pistons, built head, obviously a turbo...

http://heidi.f3h.com/2009-04-02-garage//P1020840.JPG

It's in the car now and we're trying to get the damn thing to start *shakes fist*

The SE-R looks like every other silver Sentra on the road...

[ozthunder]

I've had my Spec since May, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't wish this hell upon anyone.

[SpEcRv9]

needs more LS1

[ozthunder]

lol, if my car had an LS1 it would rip the ****ty chassis into three, and the plastic interior would shatter as if it was frozen with liquid nitrogen.

[TurboV]

needs more LS1

LOL... at least my motor exists unlike shady turbo vq swaps, LOL. :lol:

Pat, joining us at the mega meet in june? Don't I owe you a ride in my car? (maybe it was someone else, I don't remember) I can only hope I have 30psi by then...

[ozthunder]

People put VQ's into these things?! Why don't they just keep them in the Maximas/Altimas?!

Oi..I really hope my internship pays, b/c I need a new car.

[SpEcRv9]

LOL..I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought it was shady. For the first few pages I thought I was alone in being skeptical.

I'm hoping to be there in June and probably will be...but its not 100% yet because I'm supposed to attend another meet and a concert that day, but dont want to do either of those, so chances are I'll be stopping by.

and yes that was me I still need the ride...and even if you're not at 30psi, id settle for 10 becuase I am only looking for half that when I boost, and dont want to be let down when I go from 30psi to 5 :)

[TurboV]

i see lots of shady things on there that i can't really comment on because it causes too much drama because of my position on that site... i have to keep my mouth shut... however, i'm freer on here to say things ;) i also think a certain person might be a little butt hurt that another company is doing vq swaps, too. i, for one, think that they whole sentra world needs to get over the idea that only one guy can ever do anything on these cars, be it vq swaps or running 10s or building an engine.

boo, 10psi :P i ran that on stock motor! i'd hope i'd at least be around 20, but i'm sure i could always turn down the boost for you!

yeah, I can understand from your POV its probably very hard at times. Even for that particular person who seems to be getting butt hurt, being a moderator he cant say what he really wants to say. He just has to act like he is happy for them when any long time member know his real thoughts...

whatever PSI you wanna run is fine with me :) ...I keep saying I only want 5psi but I know I'll be @ 8-10, the day after I boost and get tired of running 5 lol...

[cburwell]

Big engine, light car. Plastic interiors are nothing new when it comes to Nissan. You had a 350z at one point, so you should have known better! :)

As for the B15 chassis, it's not all that bad it just takes more work to get the car to rotate properly. As the B13, B15, and P10 cars get older ad continue to rust we will probably see a surge of people using the B15 as a race platform. Along with that we will also see some new developments. We have already seen that to an extent when Mike K built his time trial car.

To add to this thread:

Me on Pocono South Course a few years back:
http://gallery.hiddenone.net/d/1461-1/DSC_9087.jpg

[SpEcRv9]

lol Dylan is just being a dick because his Spec isnt a 993 turbo :)

[ozthunder]

993 Turbo > Nissan

And I know Nissan uses plastic a lot, hence I upgraded to a GTO (and then downgraded to a Spec due to school). Nissan's interiors = terrible.

This thing rattles too, sometimes I look around expecting a snake to fly out and hit my jugular. Stupid ****ing thing. Hmph. Def not worth the $$.

[SpEcRv9]

In your case it wasnt worth the money...06's were still going for alot then...you coulda found a decent 02/03 even 04 fo cheap and had the same rattles....but theyd just be less expensive rattles.

But you got the rockford system...put that **** to use..turn it up and forget about the rattles...thats what I do.

[ozthunder]

lol, one of the speakers is gone and the changer is ****. it skips all the time on a cold morning!

06 = certified used warranty + balance of factory.

If my internship pays this summer...which it might (terrible econ for lawyers/students)...I plan on upgrading big time.

[SpEcRv9]

yeah, and unfortunately you're gonna get raped on trade in value.

[ozthunder]

Without a doubt, but to be quite honest, I can care less. I'm hunting for GTOs and found one at my buddy's dealership. Either that, hell, even a 350...even an Xterra.

FWD = FAIL.

[SpEcRv9]

:broken: @ troof.

[TurboV]

it's a sentra, not a BMW... the thing is going to rattle, LOL.

i think sometimes people expect a bit too much out of a $18k econobox... just my opinion... but I own two of them so I guess I have low expectations :D

[ozthunder]

18K is a lot for a 2 year old econobox...especially with Honda's and now Hyundais and such...or even Mazda 3's. Nissan's love to rattle b/c they like to focus on performance (sorta) and disregard the rest. The new 370Z interior is much superior to anything I ever thought they'd produce...so maybe they are starting to get it. But still...for 18K, I can find more car, more performance, and better quality...with a warranty. Nissan = fail.

[TurboV]

$18k was roughly the new price... i wasn't suggesting that was a used price (at least on a b15... i'm sure the newer ones are still up there)

then get a new car... i honestly get kinda sick of people sitting around whining about their car, and yet won't get rid of it. every car out there has it's own unique issues, so it's not like you can escape to an absolutely perfect car (unless you're super rich... but then you wouldn't have a sentra to begin with.)

you 06 should still be under warranty... it's a 5 year 60,000 mile powertrain... so unless it's over on mileage... you should have a warranty. my 05 is still under it, not that i'd allow a nissan dealer anywhere near any of my vehicles...

I fully plan on it. I only had it as a compromise between my car payments and school. If I can swing a deal, it's gone.

And I have extended bumper-bumper and the certified used 7 yr/100K powertrain.

<-- Another 03 SpecV owner. I won't bother with pics... same as any other Sunburst 03 Spec, minus the hamburger on the grill. It is my DD, so only basic I/E/H.

People put VQ's into these things?! Why don't they just keep them in the Maximas/Altimas?!


Power to weight ratio. Going from 15's (or high 14's modded) to 12's is significant, especially when the VQ is otherwise stock. Not something you'd expect out of the average B15.

i also think a certain person might be a little butt hurt that another company is doing vq swaps, too. i, for one, think that they whole sentra world needs to get over the idea that only one guy can ever do anything on these cars, be it vq swaps or running 10s or building an engine.


Agreed. And I hope the next person(s) that completes a VQ swap is a little more open about sharing the info with the community... instead of keeping it all "secret" for max profit. In every other car community I've been part of, being open and sharing knowledge was the whole point.

throwin up a new shot just for the hell of it: that ugly open spot in the bumper needs to be filled with something asap


Where? That little paint blemish on the drivers side? Lol, my front fascia is probably 4x worse. Unfortunately yellow shows battle scars too well.

it's a sentra, not a BMW... the thing is going to rattle, LOL.

i think sometimes people expect a bit too much out of a $18k econobox... just my opinion... but I own two of them so I guess I have low expectations :D

x2. It is still an economy car platform, and it is still monumentally better than several other cars I have owned when it comes to interior rattles. People that complain are probably the ones who have never been for a ride in a 80's or early 90's domestic.

[JSpecV03]

yeah, thats putting it nicely. the paint is all cracked around it. it just annoys me.

[iwanagofast]

i think the reason why no one shares info its cause its so time intensive that they just forget
when i start the pain in the ass of the wiring that is required i will try my best to show the wiriing diagram
in a splice red with green traced blue wire fashin
the swap is not easy actually yea it is lol the wireing is the pain in the ass
but none the less its tru no replacement for displacement.
thus the reason why im going to put a v8 in my rx7
duh ~~~!!!!

[TurboV]

the main guy that does the VQ swaps doesn't share because he wants the money... if people figure out how he wires stuff and gets the comfort features working, he'll lose all his business...

the QR community purposely does NOT share information... not that i am innocent of this. i won't give out my timing or fuel maps because i am one of a handful on full standalone, and we had to do all the tuning ourselves... handing over that information is just kinda ****ty in a way... busting my ass tuning so someone else can just get it handed to them? no thanks... people just stop being innovative and expect everything handed to them...

the inner circle of the QR community all dislike each other and are suspicious of each other... it's such a huge game to beat each other to doing things and developing new stuff. it's quite pathetic and is holding back this platform... but that's how it's going to be i think.

[iwanagofast]

yea your right cant really knock em for tring to make sum money on the side esp since its alot of work.
it is bad when you are running a stand alone or something similar and you just need a basic map to get the thing running i wish ppl would put that out but hey its life you kno ?
and thanks to certain ppl who got me this far, ive searched for months and still am tring to get this wiring out thank god i was told about the axles and so fourth but
its competition braw its all that it comes down to.

i completely agree with you. since our cars dont really have a huge following, stuff like you have is kinda rare..so yeah again..you put all that time and effort into it, its not just a hand me down for someone else. let them learn it and figure it out.

well... and technically, maps will be different for everyone... i might tune my car more aggressively than someone else would feel comfortable with, or vice versa.

honestly, my timing map is from a N2MB-build SRT4... went on the SRT4 forums and found it. they post entire maps, timing and fuel, online so we borrow from the SRT4 community a lot when it comes to timing, and then adjust it to be more appropriate for my car. more people need to figure out that they can do that to get maps, LOL. spec v's aren't mythical beasts that can't adapt other stuff that already exists!

sean - yep, sc61, at least for now :mrgreen: i had a gt3251 previously, so this is at least an improvement.

i'm quickly losing a lot of sentra parts in my car... heh. i've got a bit of corvette, camaro, mustang, altima, srt4, and sr20 sentra in my car, heh.

might as well call it heniz 57 lol

yeah, pretty much!

now if only the rain could stop so the damn thing can get tuned!!

[JSpecV03]

yeah, pretty much!

i know right...i just want a nice day to drive around all day to get this new clutch broken in....arrrrrrgggggggg

how much power is this motor making, any idea?

[TurboV]

probably way more than a civic per cylinder, and definitely a couple civics per cylinder for torque! ;)

i don't even want to dyno it... dynos are lame... it's getting tuned on the track and what not. dynos are bad mojo! maybe later this year, but first i'm just going to work on the quarter mile results.

I understand that nobody owes the community a complete "swap instruction manual" mapping out every wire, etc. I am referring more to specific technical questions going unanswered, or smug comments like "have fun trying to make the AC compressor cycle on/off like it should."

Aside from dealing with the immobilizer BS (needing a Consult II to make it run) the wiring doesn't scare me. I'm not going to say for sure if I'll ever attempt this swap, but if the time ever comes (when I get the next daily driver and can make the Spec a project car) when I do, I am going to post all the info possible... would like to see more people in the community do the swap themselves. It isn't rocket science.

the inner circle of the QR community all dislike each other and are suspicious of each other... it's such a huge game to beat each other to doing things and developing new stuff. it's quite pathetic and is holding back this platform... but that's how it's going to be i think.

See, that doesn't make sense to me, and is rather lame. Everyone can "invent the wheel" on their own, or work together to build a better one.

The community for my other car/engine is so much smaller... yet we have people sharing all kinds of info. Everything from wiring diagrams, to PROM burning code (OBD 1.0), and even base tunes for standalones like Megasquirt. Some of those shared items actually come right from people that are also in business to make money from this stuff too... like one of the guys that assembles standalone PCM's in the stock PCM casing (for plug and play install)

Hell, I've driven 4+ hours to duplicate a supercharger retrofit setup and tune prep for someone, for nothing more than beer and pizza. I didn't matter if his car would be faster than mine afterwards. (makes for some friendly grudge matches) I guess I don't get why people with common interest/goals for their car won't work together.

i completely agree with you. since our cars dont really have a huge following, stuff like you have is kinda rare..so yeah again..you put all that time and effort into it, its not just a hand me down for someone else. let them learn it and figure it out.

The GM Quad 4 community I speak of above has only a few dozen active members. (I bet a majority of car enthusiasts didn't know GM had a 190HP 4 banger in 1990... so yes, that small) By comparison, it makes the B15/QR25DE community seem huge... so I don't think you can completely attribute it to size.

[TurboV]

It's not the size, it's the people and their demographics... I've concluded that Sentra owners are some of the cheapest bastards on this planet. Cheap and lazy, and want everything on a silver platter. And if someone does do something new, they try to tear that person down and prove what they did sucks. If people say "oh, I want to do xxx" 50 people tell they they're stupid and should buy an STI instead. So the people left doing stuff doesn't really discuss anything because it's not worth defending it over and over, etc.

Luckily... in the past few months there's been more information saving. I think there's a couple megasquirt base maps floating around at least. But I really don't see anyone ever posting VQ wiring diagrams, especially Travis.

I get what you're saying, and I don't understand it as well. Luckily, I don't own my Spec for the "community" around it, I own it because I wanted the car. If I had to redo it, though, my Spec would've stayed a mild daily driver, and I would've gotten something a lot more capable to heavily modify.

very true.

Is that the stock CD changer? I think I still have yet to see one of those in person... tons of the damn RF stereo/sub + single CD out there though.

[cszakolczai]

I wub my Spec V...not really but its definitely reliable.

[redtoprps13]

for real. sr20ve > k20

haha not at all. i'm an sr head but that's false hehe. maybe a k20a3. event he qr has a superior flowing head to an sr

yep! it's pretty nice... a bit slow when changing between CDs, but it's nice to have some cd's on demand. I don't listen to music that much in my car now as I'm too paranoid, but it's nice for long road trips to meets and what not. I just wish my CD player has the ipod jack like the 04+ do :(

[JSpecV03]

haha not at all. i'm an sr head but that's false hehe. maybe a k20a3. event he qr has a superior flowing head to an sr

i agree and disagree. i guess it all depends on how its built. almost every "VE" style sr ive seen has been boosted, so i guess i can contribute my opinion to that. either way, there amazing engines.
i wander if a QR head will fit on an SR?

[TurboV]

wow, finally i see a SR person admit that! usually it's pretty rough getting any compliments out of someone regarding the QR, heh.

I don't know if it'd fit... I'd say no, but I guess without trying you can't say for sure. I have a spare QR head, someone bring their SR over!

[[sr20]sean]

haha not at all. i'm an sr head but that's false hehe. maybe a k20a3. event he qr has a superior flowing head to an sr

sr20ve head flows amazingly actually
stock ve head flows better then most machined sr20de/det heads

[JSpecV03]

^i hear that all the time. about the heads on those motors.
but to bad a ve series head wont bolt onto the QR. that would be pretty sick is it did,.

i dont think anything would beat a 2.2L ve with some nasty head work.
saw it on one of the forums but cant seem to find it now. too many damn forums

very clean man!

Gracias. I finally have her back in a decent running condition. Hope to make it out to a dyno and take her down the track this season.

[SpEcRv9]

definately, I'd love a b13 sr20det in that good of a condition.

[[sr20]sean]

whats the specs on the heads? any idea?

i think it had franklin cams, springs, retainers, +1mm oversized valves, cp pistons, crower h-beams, clevite bearings, tomei head studs, arp main studs, and idk what else it had.

[ADR723]

I have a Sentra GXE.... Trunk lid!

The Spec V community is cheap, no one wants to spend money on trying to make the QR out perform others. I agree 100% with you Heidi. If I here one more person that says they are gonna boost their Spec V and don't because it would be unreliable for a daily driver, I probally would hit them with a bat. In general I love my Spec V because its different from other, however I do wish they could be capable of making more power N/A...

[TurboV]

Boo to your trunk lid Andrew :P

You know what I find sillier than the turbo kit dreams? People who think they should have a standalone because it's "cool." Full standalone is no joke, I think I proved that to everyone with my car this past weekend (that whole thing about it not wanting to hold an idle at a red light? Yeah... that sucked, LOL). Full standalone isn't a freaking SAFC people, LOL.

[SpEcRv9]

but if I put a turbo on a car that didnt come with one, it will definitely blow up 100% no matter what you know or say :p

Heidi I agree, I was trying to read up on standalone for when I get into the boost scene, but at this point that stuff is still way above my head and just thought to myself "nuts to this right now"

I need to find some sucker that will trade trunk lid for turbo kit lol.

[TurboV]

it's above my head even, that's why i'm married to my tuner! haha... people don't seem to get that EVERYTHING has to be tuned... timing, start up enrichments, decel, fuel...

i haz spare turbo kit in the closet you know pat...






but you can't have it :P

[SpEcRv9]

but I have a sweet trunk lid for exchange, its awesome...its..... *slaps self*

I need to stop trying to snake turbo parts from the admins of MSV.

[TurboV]

yeah, cuz i could just ban you like all those FL guys last night :)

[SpEcRv9]

member #702 falling back in line.

I was thinking about trading my Nismos + cash for a kit if I could find one, but I like my nazmos and would like to have both...and prefer to not buy ****ty used parts

[TurboV]

lol #702 is never in line! i could ban you from the **** talking section, and then you'd be sad :P

you don't need a turbo, you can just ride in my car! problem solved, you keep your nismos, too!

[SpEcRv9]

haha I just like to tell people they're idiots when they race in the rain, race while their high or some other dumb **** people do like rako being a vendor and completely talking **** to all of us for "being cheap" and him "wiping his ass with the money he spent to be a vendor" ...people like that ask for it.

...its not like I do it when its un-called for, me and armadnigeneral are pretty good at it IMO :lol:

I don't want to see the community turn into a bunch of toolbags, and I like to think I'm kind of good at it ;)

edit- yay for rides, but after that passenger rule thread I dont know if I wanna be a passenger in your car haha

haha nice man i've been a member of j-body.org since 2004 when i had my old 2.3 lo quad 4 cavalier. thing haulded ass for what it was and would easily keep up with a teg gsr. even bought a quad-4 head from the old H.O. 2.3 liters but blew the water pump and warped the head on the l.O. 2.3 before i could put it on. i know exactly what you mean.

and not sharing info only limits the community. yeah you had a lot of blood/sweat/tears into it's development but what purpose does it really serve if you limit others progress. somebody else could take your design and figure some way to improve upon it in which you would also benefit down the road. it's the whole point of a community. i understand if you're trying to run a business and want to make a profit. but if the sol purpose is so that you don't want others to progress is kind of lame.

a progress in qr tuning would be nice, it would stimulate interest in the platform if people were more into tuning it. in which case you'd have aftermarket companies having more interest into said platform which means a major increase in parts availability and modding

[TurboV]

the word filter on this forum pisses me off, heh.

rako is sooooooooo butt hurt. haha. it's not our fault he couldn't sell his overpriced parts. ICPP and the others have no problem and have never whined to us about being vendors. bleh ,whatever. heh.

you're fine for a ride... unless you plan on eating, smoking, putting your feet on my dash, and commenting on my driving :P

haha yeah it's kinda annoying sometimes, you gotta get in the garbage bin, no word filter there **** yeah!

lol, I was gonna ask for a ride to the gas station to buy a hot dog with mustard and some cigs...

j/k nah, I don't know why I'd want to eat in a car that's quick enough to make my stomach feel funny...Don't smoke cigarettes, putting the feet on the dash is a no no....and the only comment's I make are probably gonna be cursing, but not because of your driving haha...

[TurboV]

ewww mustard :( at least it's not ketchup, you know i'm deathly afraid of that stuff, right? LOL

cursing is fine! just make sure not to touch yourself inappropriately... my car doesn't see sexual stuff, she's virgin ;)

[SpEcRv9]

lol, I know a girl deathly afraid of mustard, so if you're not joking you two would get along just nicely.

[tristatesentra]

watch the maury show there was one terrified of mustard :rofl:

[TurboV]

the pickle girl was the best!

there was a guy at the february hooters meet that was scared of pickles... he sat across from me and i ordered a plate full of fried pickles and he was ready to panic!
