Ok i just purchased a 92 Sentra SE-R and i dont know what i should do in what order. It runs well not great but runs well. Theres a hard squik but only for the first couple minutes. thinkin its belts. Im doing a tune up. what else should i look after other than the basic plugs oil and filter. i think its drippin a little bit of oil. im thinking it could be the oil pan gaskets or something. well what do u guys think?

I would just fix whats broken to begin with, replace all the fluids and filters (oil, gas, air), maybe new spark plugs, and just clean up the car in general.

keep us updated :)

Well sad to say, my engine is probably gone. After having it for roughly a week i think it reached its end. Im royally pissed but at myself for pushing it to hard. I did the regular tune up and cleaned the carb. Somehow it was leaking coolant and i was racing this camry and then all of a sudden i hear a knocking sound, i know its gone. Damn i dont know what do do now. cant afford a new engine. or fix up.

get a jdm for $400 from soko and ur str8. block off all the egr crap and tune it up. bump up the timing to 17 degrees( free upgrade). get a pop charger and ps header(if your on a budget). get a cat back exhaust. this should net you high 14's to mid 14's if you're a good driver and with a good clutch. i hit 14.9 recently with an intake ,exhaust, new clutch and 14" tires. getting hotshot header, ur pullies, drag radials for spring time. this should give me consistent mid 14's. if i scrap enough cash for a cheap nos kit, this should net me low 14's to high 13's. have a good one
