I am going to put in an Injen SRI and the NISMO exhaust to make it sound more like, ya know, a car lol. Though I noticed when you are outside a Juke and someone gets on it, you can hear it (the DV even opens too it's so cute, like the Juke sneezes lol).

The Juke R is a Juke with the heart of a GTR (engine and drivetrain) so it has the flappy paddles not a true manual like any normal GTR.

Yea, I knew it was a gtr transplant but I figured it would be a true manual. Thats pretty terrible.

i like the color, haven't seen many manual transmission jukes around we had a few on the lot when they first came out that were, and yea pretty fun to drive around

i would be interested to see what kind of power a intake, exhaust and maybe a boost controller would add and how it would sound

btw not sure if you have heard or if this one has had it done already but there is a recall for the intake and the fuel damper

akley88 · 04-23-2012, 05:27 PM

i really like the look of these. hows the interior space?

The fuel leaks were mainly on the 2011 models. I already have a boost controller, once I get some extra funds an intake and IC hard pipes are first on the list, followed by a NISMO exhaust.

Better then you would think. It's pretty roomy.

BrandonW · 04-23-2012, 07:53 PM

nice, i'll check back every now and then to check for updates

mcperson2k · 04-23-2012, 09:24 PM

GTR's come in manual?

O2SpecV · 04-23-2012, 09:36 PM

i dont know what you people are thinking the juke r was a concept vehicle that had a gtr engine and gtr tranny the thing was pretty much a gtr with a juke body. Obviously they wouldnt completl change the tranny to a stick. Just clearing things up for people who may be confused.

To O.P. Like the car and really looking forward to some updates

The Nismo Juke is sick I want that grill and that lip!

Bacon get at me if you are interested in my Sparco seat for the Sentra.

Godofelru · 04-24-2012, 08:45 AM

I'm disgusted that NISMO is making parts for the Juke and they completely skipped the B16 platform.

Oh well, my car turned out better than NISMO could have done with it.

Yea don't know why Nismo didn't make anything for the B16. Didn't they at least make an intake for it?

And as of right now, all Nismo makes is the exhaust for the Juke, and apparently a fog light kit, but I have yet to find it.

And yea your car is much nicer.

Godofelru · 04-24-2012, 10:53 AM

They didn't make a single part or acknowledge the platform.

They STILL say they're working on making stuff LOL.

Thanks man. I appreciate the comment.

Bates · 04-24-2012, 11:08 AM

I'm gonna miss the Sentra scene, it has been good to me, but it was just time to move on to something different. Though I still might go to any local Sentra meets to see some buddies. The Nissan scene in general has been good to me, it's weird thinking about ever leaving it. The Juke is my 7th Nissan, and I am sure it won't be my last.

I am looking forward to getting out to some meets though, I am pretty sure I'll be the only Juke lol.

Different choice for sure. I love the side/back of the car but the front half and front just dont do it for me. I think it was lowered a decent amount it would be awesome!

Cant wait to see everything
