The Sentra spec-V is like one of those obscure compact performance sports cars that nobody really cares about. I think it deserves a bit more recognition, honestly.

to be completely honest... it is very expensive to mod this car. unless you are doing minor/bolt on upgrades. y mean the engine itself has a fair amount of well documented problems.. >the counter balance weight locks up and breaks the timing chain. >VALVE COVER LEAK/ SEALS they tend to go out!!! >MAF Moda fociking MAF!!! i built mine but it was a project of love and years in order to have it make reliable power.. and honda has a more "mainstream" market and high demand, which makes it somewhat affordable. all and all i do not regret building my sentra!

@@nicksta16 High comp, and then turbo build, i spoke with joe at 2J racing and he believes that we can push about 360 at the wheels with my HC setup with turbo, in a safe matter for daily driving, but is 3700 for the turbo kit so i am saving up..

Talking about 280 wheel HP like it's not very much? Dude I had a 3500 lb. MK3 Supra with about 230whp, and that thing was fucking insane. I guess nowadays with all the modern cars that make huge horsepower, the definition of what's considered "fast" has been steadily rising. I personally feel like 180whp in a light car is really fast. Even 150whp is quick. People are forgetting that you don't need massive numbers to have fun, especially on the street.

Being a owner of one of these cars, they are just as fun N/A as they are boosted, aftermarket support is finally gaining some ground and growing so if you're looking to get one do it BUT BE WARNED....they can become money pits(as you add more parts to it) plus the stock exhaust manifold needs to be replaced ASAP with a header and the butterfly screws on the upper intake manifold need to be loctited. Add a CAI, Catback Exhaust, lightweight pulleys, motor mount inserts and lower it some and they're really fun cars.

I have the blue one. Writing this in 2023. I used it as my daily back in the day when I would drive from Ventura to Malibu. Always took the PCH there and back. I love the car. It is still stock. On the highway, I could get about 30 mpg somewhere around 78 mph. Was awesome to have. Saved the miles on my truck. I have kept it all these years. I have a 2019 Honda R-Type.... but I still love my SE-R. I am about to boost it and I'm replacing the clutch and doing other work on it so it will last another 15 years. Unfortunately, it is made from cheap plastics and lots of the interior I am slowly replacing. Absolute love this car. I plan to drop a couple grand into it every year and just slowly build it up as a project.

That gnome was staring into my soul....

Me and my buddy raced one in a vr6 with 262 cams (it was untuned) and he put us to shame those turbo sentra's are quick! great review man keep it up!

Nice! My buddy has an '03 Nissan Sentra SE-R "Nismo" that has a T3 Compound Turbo, which is normally boosting at about 7psi. I do like how these cars drive, I've driven my buddy's, boosting at 3psi, and even at that, you could still feel the pull. And that's when I found out, I love turbo. These cars are pretty awesome sleepers.

This is awesome. And for the record. I have 200whp in a 2700lb focus, and that's even a fucking hoot.

My wife used to own a 2003 Sentra SE-R, but it wasn't the Spec-V... It still had the same 2.5 motor but with 10 less HP and 5 less TQ. It was a 4 speed automatic and I have to say for a bone stock 4-banger, this car was pretty quick. If only it shifted above 6200 rpm thoough, it would have been really quick I bet. I liked the torque in this car more than the horsepower. Hers was Vibrant Blue. Fun little car to toss around. Cool review man.

Love these little cars! And since I’ve had a 09 Sti built with 24 psi and a 2015 Camaro rs bolt ons. The Sentra was the only car I ever went 250km for excessive time . 🤘

David Hemingway everytime he tries to review one the tranny blows in 3rd

does anyone know if its possible to have a lot of boost but also have the car to be silent at all times ?

Pretty cool platform for FWD performance.. I believe they came with a LSD transmission, a torquey 2.5l engine and you dont see ANY of them on the streets. I think most guys who used to have them have moved on to the new Civic SI's most likely. Its cool to see this one payed attention to.

I have the 1.8l B15, did the intake and exhaust and it too has a very deep exhaust note to it. Between the 1-3k rpm ranges its a deep bassy sound and above that its very sporty sounding. I would like to do a low pressure turbo even though it is the 1.8, just to make it a little more fun.

This seems to be the car that was forgotten in the tuner world. Nice to see this one boosted and actually done up well.

I'm glad the gnome in the backseat is buckled up for safety lol

hey dudeinblue do you think the se r sentra is a good first car?

Very nice, definitely unique. I would be putting some wider summer tires on there though lol

Dude what camera do you use and how much is it? I love it! I wanna get into photography.

Amazing filming!

I think you should do another review of a sentra. I know a few guys on the east coast that have some pretty serious builds. and it would be great to showcase the potential these little cars have.

what kind of exhaust set up does it have? sounds nice and stealthy

Hey, you should find a tuned fiesta st, I've been really into those and would love to see somebody's nodded one

sweet video... enjoyed it as always.. :)

hey man, I had a question, you think You can ask your friend around how much Was it to boost His Sentra?

This thing sounds amazing

could you get all the specs needed. i have 13 altima n plan on turboing her. i wanted to know what his set up is. i like that linear set up for my cvt.

Hey Nissan guys ,I'm looking for a Sentra spec v but how many miles is too many miles? Are they reliable past 200k?

Got a 02.. just put the 850$ eBay kit on running 7lbs. I just street tuned it, I learned a lot. Got about 1.5k miles since build and no issues. When I have the extra money ima put it on the dyno. I'm hoping for 280hp and the same in torque.. this thing is a blast to daily,, so far anyway.. honestly I like this qr.. it don't deserve the hate.

Whats your camera and lens?

That gnome in the back is amazing. Project X??

I'd seen one (this was like 12 years ago) and thought that I could race with it in my 4-cylinder Mitsubishi Galant. This Sentra literally took off like a bullet and put me like 5 miles behind it in a few seconds. It won a whole new level of respect from me..., even as I'm typing. I'd thought it was a v-6.

just bought a spec v, these are incredible cars that are extremely underrated. i got mine for 1240 with 60k miles

Rake loves this! MCM FTW :D
