Just now I check with some foremen they told me its most likely due to the worn out of "mounting rubber". Most auto car will have 4 pieces, one at the front and rear (not sure what he meant maybe he mean engine area) and the other 2 will be at the front left and right. Its a wear and tear things, if it get too much vibration and you can't tolerate it anymore then just change. If just a lil bit then just ignore it becos its not cheap to change them.

Halo Bro2

I'm reporting in too. Am i welcome in?

Nissan Sentra N16 1.8 gxe-L - Year 2001

thanx for the info..
i heard from many people this car is a reliable car, and also the design is better than p1 or p2 car..
tats why i decided to buy it as a car to college..

any people here wanna sell their b14 do tell me please?
prefer auto 96 version coz i like the back, soo nice and it is cheaper..

its engine mounting , wear and tear stuff la that 1..
juz replace it then will back to normal

question: how much will it cost to change?

Yeah, I was there, but that was like more than 2 weeks ago...

Well, it is a reliable car but spare parts for B14 are now getting extremely expensive, much more expensive than N16 some more... Parts like oil filter, air filter are still relatively cheap but that's about it...

I would advice against you changing to a B14 coz it's just not worth it anymore...

Hi there, I'll add you to the list on the first post.

depends which 1 , which brand , which foreman , and ur friendship with foreman

would like to join but now is final exam time. and i am in ipoh. Maybe next time

what's brand available for N16 2008 N whats the price like? w/ship charges is standard for Nissan service center,not sending to outside foremen for service cos still under 100k mileage warranty.

Brand? Just get genuine Nissan engine mounts, should be around RM100++ per piece...

Thanks man. Great simple answer just what i am looking for.

You're welcome...

update:

Just back from Nissan sc. The service crew told me after they "retune" the system, strangely the "car body vibration" gone. The car mounting still good, still under warranty sub-100k mileage.

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a nissan sentra 1.6l 2004 but i was wondering what is the different between SG & SGl ?? and does nismo bodykit cost more?? anyone has a picture of sentra 1.6l model 2004 interior or exterior that you dun mind to share with me here?? and also lastly would like to know if about sentra..

A) FC - Good - Average - Below Average - Poor

2) Comfort - Good - Average - Below Average - Poor

3) handling - Good - Average - Below Average - Poor

4) maintainance - High - Average - Below Average - Cheap

thanks everyone

as far as I can remember....

SG got Manual transmission option : SGL all auto.

SG is fabric seats : SGL leather

SG doesn't have steering mounted radio control : SGL has it

SG is drum brake at the rear : SGL rear discs.

SG cheaper : SGL more pricey.


Anyway, mine is the SG manual. And recently i find my FC is worse than before. Mileage currently around 65k. Have always been using mobil1 SuperS (Semi Syn) , and been changing engine oil+oil filter every 10 thousand km. Is the 10k service cycle the culprit or any other ideas what can I inspect?

I tried the valve cleaner treatment too at TCEAS before, where they connected the engine to that "Restorer" machine and didn't notice any much different anyway.


Haihya , also the rear suspension is bad. The backend jerked outwards when going fast on a corner with uneven surface.

Must be your engine timing slightly out of tune... Good to know that you rectified the problem...

Perhaps you can give MOTUL a try, the 4100 Turbolight semi-synth is pretty good...

ALL Sentra's rear suspension (except for the B13) sucks big time becoz of it being a "Multi-link Beam Suspension", which is marketing speak for "Semi-Torsion Beam Axle". B13 uses a true multi-link suspension for its rear, that's why it handles better than the B14, B15, N15 and N16.

mean its "shoe laced tie-up of both shoe together", we can't run when both our shoes are tied-up. That explain the poor handling of corners.
