Bates' 2012 Nissan Juke & 1987 300ZX - Page 12 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Now you're not a part of the super exclusive boosted sentra club. I plan on having a Sentra meet later this summer, you'll see the details on the board in a month or so. You should come down anyway in the Z or something.

Bates · 04-21-2012, 08:42 PM

New car has arrived. Pics soon...

Bates · 04-22-2012, 12:21 PM

Sentra is sold.

New car picked up yesterday.

2012 Nissan Juke SV
Graphite Blue
6-Speed Manual FWD
188 HP 1.6L Turbo

Plans are modest: Intake, exhaust, boost controller, IC hard pipes, upgraded DV/BOV. Perhaps coilovers down the road, but the exhaust is the first thing, stock exhaust is super restrictive, and catback will really open the car up. (Wow have these plans changed since a year ago lol)

So far I love it. It's smooth, fun, quick, agile, but too damn quiet! (Not anymore)

Mods as of 4/9/15:

Custom 2.5" IC pipes with Vanjen Clamp
Custom Vibrant Front Mount Intercooler
Custom 4 Puck Unsprung Ceramic Clutch
Custom Upgraded Pressure Plate
TurboSmart BOV
ECUTek stage 2 tune
INJEN Short Ram Intake
INJEN 3" Catback
Custom 3" Down Pipe- No cats- Vband
Tanabe Front Strut Bar
BC Coilovers
Cusco 4 pt under brace
Prosport Digital Boost Gauge
Innovate MTX-L Wideband
Saikou Michi Oil Catch Can
Optima Red Top Battery
WORK Emotion XD-9s 18x9 +43 Matte Silver/Gray
Sumitomo HTR Z's 235/40
Wilwood Front 6 piston Calipers
EBC Slotted Front Rotors
MRP Upper Torque Mount
MRP Lower Torque Mount
TWM Specter Shift Knob
Nismo RS Control Arms

Oh yes it will be out and these motors are tiny little beasts. With a few basic bolts on and upping the boost I'll come close 250hp. I also have the lightest model Juke, coming in a 2,912lbs curb weight.

There is a lot to look at it but the car is a blast I love it so much.

Thanks man, looking forward to opening this thing up and seeing what it can do.

lownslow95 · 04-22-2012, 02:39 PM

Just curious, why a Juke. I personally think they are ugly, but as long as you like it, that's all that counts.

Lots of reasons really.

I love different cars, always have and always will.
The price was right and it had exactly what I wanted power wise, MPG wise, and size wise. The aftermarket for them is starting to build up and they have great potential.
I love Nissans, and as much as I wanted a Z34, they are more then I wanted to pay and just not practical for me. All the other Nissans are boring.
I wanted another car with boost, and it's the only vehicle Nissan offers with boost lol.
The only other car I was considering was the Speed3, and I just see them too often and everywhere plus it got crappy MPGs.. The Juke is unique, it has personality and style. It's friggin weird. I like weird.

Some people find them hideous, and others think they look awesome. With a nice set of wheels a little low they look great in my opinion.

Spawne32 · 04-22-2012, 11:10 PM

Nissan juke huh, interesting.

Thanks. Kevin kind of made me fall in love with the color. It's really nice in person, and a lot of fun to drive, needs more torque though, and needs more loud. The engine and exhaust are just way too quiet for me. Intake and exhaust will fix that right up.

HatchSurfer3 · 04-23-2012, 09:37 AM

I took one of these for a test drive and it was pretty fun. I liked it a lot. Shouldve waited and got the Juke R! haha

As awesome as the Juke R is, it still isn't a true manual! ><

I'd be happy with just the split wing from the Juke-R.

xEJ20x · 04-23-2012, 02:26 PM

I like the Jukes....something I don't see on the road much.

rocknrace03 · 04-23-2012, 02:28 PM

i canged tires& brakes on one of these 6 or so months ago, it was auto, but very fun to drive, i also like wierd and think these things are cool. I actually kind of wanted one til I realized it was on more of an SUV frame than car, and at the time, no aftermarket. but theyre cool, can you take the intake silencer out? the one i drove was way too quiet. good luck, ill be watching this one develope, loved the sentra
