fast enough to beat me that is

i was looking at the specs on some of the different trims and years and i wasn't very impressed by their numbers. the way my friend was talking about how fast they are i was expecting like 14-15 second 1/4 ets. do they pose a threat at all? regardless of trim and year whats the best sentra in terms of HP and TQ?

I have driven a Sentra SE-R. Yes it was a real one. Nissan owners make such a big deal about the damn SE-R... one word.. SLOW!!!

Who knows how the new ones will be.

If I could bold the word "slow" even more I would. I couldnt stress it enough

The upcoming Spec V SE-R may be a contender...180hp, 180 lb-ft torque.

 

[BlueShadow]

i've heard about the "upcoming" Se-r's but until i see one in person i don't sweat it. besides i already have a head start, i actually have a car and i'm getting ready to turbo it.

so once the new SE-R's come out i'm gonna have me some fun

My previous car was a NX2000 (essentially a firmed-up, rebodied SE-R) and it has much more grunt off the line than my G5.

When I had mine, I raced a 97 G5 out of a tollbooth at the Whitestone bridge and left him behind....in the rain! I backed off at 50. He was not happy. If he had stayed on it he would have passed me, though.

The SE-R/NXs had great torque, gearing and traction (LSD)

 

[thewedge3]

Oh, to answer your question, the 91-93s are the quickest.

The later 200SX SE-Rs had a more restictive intake manifold and a different exhaust cam and were actually 15hp down despite the same power and torque ratings.

But you didn't hear those people crying like the 2001 Miata folks!

 

[H23Lude]

actually dont underestimate the 90-93 SE-R..they are pretty damn quick. My friend had one with basic bolt ons running high 14s. I also seen seen others at the track running similiar times.

not to mention the 91-93 were noticably lighter too. Those aren't SLOW. Pretty sweet cars that can handle well and don't look fast

the one I drove was the newest 200SX SER. Pretty disapointing.

It is. Don't confuse the two.

my buddies has a 2000 sentra SE. Bone stock with just the air filter taken out and like 1000 miles on the odo, he ran a 15.5 @ 86. 2.2 60 ft. those things are pretty damn quick, depending on whoe gets the jump when we race (ie. better launch) wins. But after like 75 mph, if im loosing or winning i pull him like crazy. But now hes running a 55 shot, so i think he can pull mid 14's. He also has a filter on a stick intake, and a muffler.

senta se-r's are quick and handle amazingly. AND they are die hard like a Honda. sleeper factor is a BIG plus too.

simple bolt-ons and you've got a very quick car. toss in a j-spec sr20de-t motor and its a VERY quick car.

don't sleep these cars guy's, they're light, they've got grunt, and they'll stick with you in the corners (lsd puts the power down). a "true" pocket rocket like the CRX Si once was.

luckily for me the se's and se-r's around here lack the resources to do a SR20DE swap. but considering they have the USDM motor and your regular I/H/E how quick would they be then? and don't say "quick quick" numbers impress me more than words do. and another thing you say they're quick, but are they fast?

SE-Rs COME with the SR20DE. What is a USDM motor?

C/D ran an NX2000 to 60 in 6.9 and a 15.6 quarter. Not bad for 140hp!

That car was basically the ITR of the early 90s--only with more torque.

see for yourself:

http://www.SR20DE.net/owners/timeslip/index.html

Brett Ezelle: 13.979 @ 95.19mph
i'd say that is pretty quick for a NASentra SE-R. wouldn't ya say?

Mike Murphy: 12.068 @ 115.81mph
with: T3/T4 hybrid turbo, stock internals, eclipse intercooler, 78lb injectors, Autronic engine management system, and Slicks.

You tell him, Xymox!

 

[BlueShadow]

the times are pretty impressive but you don't really know what they've got done to there car. you've prolly showed me the fastest SE-R in the world. BUT i don't think i'll be racing him at the track anytime soon. my main concern is your average, everyday joe blow with an se or an se-r with JUST INTAKE, HEADERS AND EXHAUST. for all i know Brett Ezelle is runNing a full race motor that revs all the way up to 15000rpms.... well maybe not, but maybe if the timeslips had a mod list it would give me some ideas of their capabilities.
