[tristatesentra]

thanx Im saving up for mods as we speak the Infamous car show was my last show for 07 im saving up now for 04-06 spec V rims and then I got to get tires afterwards I get my subs put in then the rest of the stuff

[VMPhil]

i was un aware nismo made radiators for sentras.

[nametakennow]

I'm pretty certain that they don't. They offer radiator caps...

[Buzzman]

I'm happy for you, and the car looks great. However, (and I don't mean to burst your bubble) why didn't you get an SE-R instead? The performance would have been so much better. Have fun with it.

oh im so dumb lol I meant radiator cap the radiator is made by calsonic str8 outta japan

[VMPhil]

not everyone can afford a spec or the insurance. people get what they get. if someone complains about mod support for the 1.8s or performance then i say "u shoulda got a spec" but dude seems happy with what hes got, so i say happy modding.

i've got some '07 Spec V wheels if you're interested. 17"X7" 50mm offset, wheels and 225/45/17 summer tires were only driven about 850 miles before i got new ones myself. just let me know.

thanx for the offer!!! but im goin to get the 04-06 spec rims just to keep that 04-06 theme but I wonder what those rims would look like on a 04-06 or the 04-06 on the 07 it would probably be hott

Actually the Calsonic radiator you have is from Mexico, also where your B15 and my B15 were assembled.

oh ok im stupid I always think weird lol

[NSR_s30]

No worries man. Simple mistake.

nice ride, subs should sound great with the rest of the system (if you have the sub and tweeter upgrade you can remove your stock sub and use the hole to vent some base into the cabin. The ser lights wont fit a 1.8 I wanted to do the same thing but the ser lights are narrower and dont line up right (check the thred below). If you do get them to fit tho you will have a gap between the hood and light. Did you have any trouble with the lip? Ive been looking into bodykits but cant find anything I like so im just gonna go with a lip.

wow I didn't know the se-r couldn't fit a 1.8 I was talking to the sentra guys in Nj Tuners and they said they will fit I dunno. the lip suxed as soon as I got and I tried fitting it it cracked that was a waste of $100 its the cheapest piece of plastic I have ever seen.I d rather spend $300 on a nismo lip also got to lee's nissan http://www.leesparts.com they have the lip for $280 I hope u live in maine because shipping is a ***** to be honest Im better off without it because I have a huge scratch on the driver side lower corner where it mets the lip and it would look strange with the lip its not attractive Im ordering the s tune graphic kit well at least the side's to it. its only $59 http://www.acromann.com they have everything JDM so check that out!!!!

[spddemon]

Yea I thought they would to but if you look at them side by side you can see that the ser lights are about a 1/2in narrower, The brackets might line up but your gonna have a gap between the top of the light and your hood. Its only the front end tho bc of the diff engine the tail lights will work. I'm gonna just go with som tint for mine. Shipping suxs for everything cuz i live in virginia. (theres a custom auto shop about 5 miles from my house tho ) ea I feel ya on the scrach I had a tree branch fall on my trunk when a noreaster blew through a couple o months back, scrached the **** outa my paint and cracked my spoiler(only had it 2 months)

Unfortunately, Nissan made the '07 Spec and SE-R with 5 lug hubs, ALL older Sentras including the '07 2.0 are 4 lug.

Instead of going with lowering springs only (the stock struts get replaced all the time by me) go with the Nismo shock/strut package. Yeah, it's $800, but it bolts right in and looks great. One of our master techs had it in his '05 1.8S SE and it looked SICK lowered.

[nametakennow]

The NISMO coilover doesn't lower as much or have the performance of a good spring/shock combo or any other major coilover, at least not on B15s. It's really a poor deal. For $800 you can do Eibach/Koni, TEIN, or K-Sport setups.

Im defintly going with the tein's the nismo ones are so expensive I think the s tech springs would look hott on the car

update I just got a trophy for top 100 cars at the NHRA fall sport compact nationals in Englishtown

Take a look around the forum, run some searches and do some reading, and see what interests you. Then ask any questions you have.

Welcome to NICO!

[Edited by mod - We have info on 1.8/Sentra performance here. Suggestions to go to other forums for that purpose are unnecessary.] I have another thread here about all the mods I did up to this point I have put on like 5 or 6 mods in the last 2 months good luck to ya!!!

[nametakennow]

banr127 - As I stated right after your first post in this thread, your best bet is to take a look around the Sentra section of NICO and see what interests you, then ask questions about specifics.

What do you want from the car? It's difficult to come up with where to start if we don't know what your plans/goals are. Are you going to autox it or any other form of racing, is this a daily driver that you want to make more fun, or [insert purpose here], etc?

[banr127]

yeah i wanted to make it more fun its my daily driver and i would to mod the enigine but dont know right now i have to get the fuel pump upgrade jit cause my sentra sometimes doesnt start and when i am driving sometimes it hesitates

[nametakennow]

There's a recall on that, Nissan will replace it for free. Contact a dealer.

Engine-wise there are intake, exhaust, and header options. Suspension parts are universal for all 00-06 Sentras.
