So here we go.
Shows part of the CAI that is installed.
Showing off the TV tuner.
Rear end with a little over a 1" drop.
Side profile with drop and new tinted windows.
Another view.
Bored pic of the TV tuner I had @!#$ty reception was in a drive thru line.
CD mode on the deck. Below is my old Sirius receiver I know have a sportser model there.
Just got done installing the CAI.

What springs did you go with? Also, did yu change the struts or did you use the stockers? A review would be nice. My buddy has been looking into a good drop.
Also, I know this is a weird request but if you ever get a new muffler and want to get rid of that one let me know. My wife as a 1.8s and we both know its slow and will always be, but she hates the looks of the stock exhaust. She just wants something to look decent but all the ones we find either look too ricey or are really expensive. Dont want to spend good money on a good exhaust when 99.9% of what we want it for is looks. We both agreed the Spec V stocker is best bet.
The car looks great. I like the CD player a lot.
used stock struts , eibach springs , im not sure on the ride
i just did the labor with a little help
get a exhaust on that bitch
I've always liked these Sentra SER V-Spec's. Badass looking.

15mpg and a high 15 second is what happened to the Tiburon.. I miss the Tiburon looks and interior but I do enjoy the Spec V having more HP and being more nimble.

I'll let you know about the muffler.. I'll sell it extremely cheap if you want it when I get my new exhaust.. I'm going with the EVO2 exhaust for it most likely because it's a nice deep throaty sound.
Spring wise 97TRD did the labor with help from myself and another local J.. It's the Eibach Pro kit. I believe it's a 1.2 drop in rear and 1.1 up front still stock struts and shocks.. She rides better then stock now amazingly it's not bouncey at all actually feels like how she should of felt from the factory literally no body roll in corners. Plus the stock struts/shocks still have a lot of movement left in them so they aren't bottoming out at all.
Only issue is I recently hit a pothole and got thrown in to a curb so now I have a slight popping sound in my front end when I hit a bump or turn and hit a bump. Pissed me off when it happen because I couldn't swerve in to the left lane due to some jackass in a oversized truck thinking I was racing him.
One of the local spec guys is selling his Tein SS set up for 400 if I can get the money soon I'm going to switch over to that. I did take the rim off and it didn't seem off balanced or cracked and the A arm looked fine so not sure what else may be causing it. One of the local guys said it could be the bushing on the top of the strut so I have to tear the drivers side apart to see if that is it. If so then it's a 17 dollar fix. Just @!#$ pisses me off that my rim is all scraped up on the drivers side because the city doesn't know how to fix a pothole.
Oh and for those of you who live in Phx this happened in downtown Phx around the huge construction area where they are building the new light rail. I guess I should be thankful I didn't fly in to the ditch for the light rail.
But anyways ya if you want to keep stock struts/shocks I'd say go for the Eibach Pro Kit still a really nice ride and it will not kill your stock struts/shocks. Also with the CAI I didn't notice a difference down low mainly from 4k to redline I hear and feel the car pulling harder. Next up really is the new pulleys and torque damper and possibly a better clutch. Oh and different tires because the stock conti sports on it sucks.
Had to change sig because some dickhead is mad it went 1 letter over size
conti sports will always be crap.
I'll never own any continentals, unless is a 62-67 Lincoln with suicide doors.

Thanks Evil, yea suprisingly my wife wants to do a few mods to her sentra. Nothing special and like I said mainly just looks. I really wish we could have gotten the SE-R but there were none on the lots and my wife really didn't care enough to special order one. Once I get back from Korea I wont drive it enough to make a difference. Spec-V was out of the question because she didn't want manual.
A small drop would be nice on the car. I've always been a big fan of the Eibach kits. I'm not sure if it'll effect her car in the same way. I dont think they use the same struts do they? I think for x-mas i'm going to buy her the overpriced nismo lip she wants. It looks pretty good specially on the cloud white cars. After a bit i'll pick her up some rims. The 16" alloys will have to do her fine for now I guess.

I believe they use the same struts/shocks for the most part. Really what is the big difference on the SE-R Spec V is the urethane bushings bigger sway bars and the strut tower brace. Plus the 17" rims hense why the SE-R and SE-R Spec V models usually sit higher then the basic 1.8S.

Not bad.. not bad at all.
The Spec V's are nice and tunable, are you planning anything else? FI? More suspension tuning other than the Tein?
And now for something completely different... Click the Minister.
needs a lip kit or somethin
Awesome DVD player, I have the same one in my cav and LOVE it.

Well it will most likely get the bigger sway bars up front same with the strut tower braces.. I've been eyeing the NISMO goodies. I'm going to take a look at what else is available for it. FI wise I think I may go Turbo. But one of the local guys has a supercharged one laying down around 300whp from 9psi. I'm at a cross between which one to do. It will be a while before it does happen. I'm just iffy because if I keep the QR motor I have to find internals for it and such.
Where as the SR20DET and VQ35 have been swaps in to them. I still have my SAFC II I need to put on but that will be after the exhaust is finished. For now though motor wise I'll just be going with bolt ons.

I've seen the VQ swap, but then you're limited to only NA I think (unless you can get a turbo set up that replaces the mufflers, like the Vette ones). SR20DET is a worthy swap too though
As far as the stock motor, I would imagine HKS or Jim Wolf Tech has a setup... they stock a kit for everything else Nissan out there.
Good luck on that, eh?

The VQ there are a few VQ Turbo Sentras I think like 2 right now lol. Really they do the setup like what was done on the V6 Tiburon the Turbo sits where the battery is. I need to get the info for the SR20 swap a girl with the local group here has one in her newer Sentra.. I drooled all over myself the last time I saw her car.

Oh and Eric.. Have your work make a damn full exhaust for my car so I don't have to wait =P

Nice Spec V. They're not too bad of cars. My brother bought a silver 2005. He put the NISMO intake and exhaust on it and just got a header put on last week. He's workin on lowering it now. I haven't ridden in it since he put the header on but it was a pretty quick and fun car. Well I just figured I'd tell ya nice car. See ya

6.0, L92 heads, LS3 intake, TSP 231/236 cam, and much more

I didn't get it from walmart and the pricing on them is usually about 500-600. It's not bad at all pretty nice.. I need to update the speakers again since the stereo shop did a joke job wiring them in.

It's the same exact one from Wal-Mart, I know...I've been thinking about buying it since before x-mas. There was a huge price drop on that deck about 3 months ago putting at $400 now. I'd love to get one becuase the price is right....but being sold at Wal-Marts now have made me weary about it's quality. I'm glad to see someone with one installed so now i can ask how good it is?
How's the picture quality when playing DVD's?
And please let us know how good it sounds when the wiring is all fixed.
