go to resetting the accelerator cable on the engine, the problem solved but it need more time to change gear (until 3000rpm only change gear). and now when 1st gear change to 2nd gear is not so smooth due to the wear and tear in the gearbox.

last thing to change are the dampers

service charge around RM100 to RM200
ask them to lower sure u can deal

Hi all, long time no post here liao...

Did an upgrade to my B14 recently...

Replaced the JN15 front brake calipers and discs with BNR32 4-pot brake calipers and discs.


Also did some much needed restoration work on my old pair of 16-year-old B14 headlamps...

Before restoration:




After restoration:




Took me quite a while to restore these headlamps as it's a DIY restoration project, but it's well worth the effort.

Added on September 12, 2011, 6:59 pmFor gearbox oil, better to use back Nissan's own gearbox oil or follow kian's recommendation of using Toyota's gearbox oil, it's good.

No, it's not VCT, it's the solenoid to control your engine's idling when the air-cond compressor is running, to prevent your engine idling from dipping too low until it "dies".

green rotors

Are you going to upgrade the master pump, the originals undersized for this caliper

whats the damage for the brake kit ? same guy ?

no pix with rims, meh ?

last irritating question....how much and what brakepads are you using ?

I got my puny 14" tyres at RM155 fitted Pirelli P6. Tested Archilles 17" on a different car, I kid you not thats the brand name. works pretty well for the price in the dry. Same price as locally available performance tyres.

hi i am driving B11 too

Dude, can you please use spoiler tags for the pictars?

No, I'm not going to upgrade the master brake pump, the original pump is good enough, the soft and hard braking that I've done so far is more than adequate, it bites especially hard during hard braking.

The brake calipers and discs are not that expensive, about RM400 plus, but add in the installation, drilling, modding the knuckle, it all came down to about RM800. Yeah, Ah Leong did the mod for me.

Pics with rims got:





I'm still using the used brake pads that came with the 4-pot calipers, they still have 60% left, so might as well use it. When the time comes to replace them, I'll most probably go for Sumitomo.

wow...the rim looks cantik...haha
dun know want to change my B14 automatic gearbox....coz now when 1st change to 2rd gear like all the rapidKL bus cant change gear smoothly....
i ask tan chong, they say new gearbox need cost RM20K....damn expensive...
but scare change 2nd hand gearbox will not lasting...
Any suggestion

Yeah, those OZ Racing rims are a looker...

I think it's OK to go for a 2nd hand/halfcut gearbox, you just need an experienced mechanic to help you inspect it to make sure it's in good working order. Or, you can go for reconditioned ones.

Why, you havent taken over the evil empire yet ah

Coulda been rim porn if not for the lug nuts. Anyways be careful where you park the car dude.

change transmission fluid first or twice...'my' B14 which I brought out of (few years) hibernation (280K km) first change is to Toyota ATF. Not too bad. I may continue using it for the price and performance.

may i join in??
Sentra 1.6 SG-L 2005~
and i wan to ask about the fuel consumption~
i found tat mine is very thirsty!!OMG!!
anybody help me??

What "evil empire" r u talking about?? Makes no sense to me leh...

Well, dun worry about the lug nuts, I'll change them at a later time. Yeah, I know, I'm very careful with where I park now.

Of course you can, any Sentra owner is welcomed here.

I'll add you to the list of owners on the 1st post.

The N16 is quite notorious for being thirsty due to its rather heavy body mated with the underwhelming QG16DE/QG18DE engine. If you're a light-footed driver, you'll get better fuel consumption from the N16 but if you're heavy-footed, like me, then the fuel consumption is pretty bad.

i already using Toyota ATF.....

nice to saw tat i had been added~Thanks =)

ya,its heavy...i always control my right leg...so the rpm dosen't go up over 3k~
tat day i just full up my tank n go to Melaka for the Autoshow,
Muar-Melaka n come back about 130km and i hav 34km city drive...
now the meter display half tank~half tank for 164km,is tat quite bad
or all the Sentra is thirsty like mine??

My 2006 Sentra 1.6 SG A/T gets around 13.5km/l for mostly hwy travelling...can't complain.

engine is under powered for the chasis. 1.8 is the better choice

evil empire as in to reference to your work place

I do get shift shock (1-2 or 2-1) once in a blue moon if I redline it all of the time. But I like the GA16De when it comes on cam

Ah, I see... No, haven't found a chance to escape that place yet, still searching...
