Yeah, one man's sweet is another man's poison, mate... No one expects you to like this kinda thing... And I find your statement to be very, very rude... If you got nothing constructive to say, please keep it to yourself.

Tuning up the Sentra? Well, I got a word of caution... Don't ever fcuk with the cam shafts/cam timing of the engine unless you have an expert mechanic who knows a lot about Nissan engines...

Sentra will not be phase out anytime soon, ETCM oredi announced that the Sentra will continue to be on sale alongside the Latio...

I don't quite get what you mean by "joint part"... Perhaps you can elaborate a bit more...

@ vanquish
sorry... really didnt mean to sound rude... meant it in a very joking manner only.. pls dont take it to heart

and i just read NST's automobil section of the paper, i seriously know i saw the official statement saying that all variants of sentra except the 1.6manual will phase out to prevent competition with the Latio...

ps: why doesnt any1 in malaysia pimp up the look on their sentra? all sentra on the road i see is totally stock.. unlike most Vios and City

Aduh You didn't indicate you were joking leh, dude... Anyway,

I read about it on Paul Tan's site, perhaps Paul made a mistake when he wrote his report... I personally felt strange why would they still continue the Sentra line becoz the Latio is using 1.6 and 1.8 liter engines instead of the rumoured 1.5 liter...

Not many people pimp up their Sentras becoz most of the people who buys a Sentra are usually those who had oredi have a family or those in their late 30s and above, typically those who are not so inclined in pimping their rides... Vios and City different as their buyers are more of the younger crowds.

ok..well monocoque chassis usually comes in a piece right..
but not all car build all the part together like roof and frontal part of the car to the chassis..means the front crash zone is build to the chassis by stitch weld to the chassis either to the strut area or till A pillar area..

my question is..
does the original sentra B14 has this stitch area above the door close to A pillar area and rear door above the Door area too?

means if u open the rubber thing,you can see theres 2 different piece of stacked and joint together metal..

I'm a B14 owner and as far as I know it doesn't have the so-called "stitch points" or welding points in those area you mentioned... Hope this helps...

ok thanks..so i can comfirm that shop owner trying to cheat me buying kereta potong..

sumore is fren recommendation..disapointed le

i wonder why jpj pass the car earlier..

Dude, if you're really serious about getting the car, go do an X-Ray on the car lar, that way u sure will know if the car kena potong before or not... Just spend some money there to get a peace of mind loh...

And go PUSPAKOM, not JPJ for these kinda checks...

sorry about the jpj..is PUSPAKOM

how to do X-Ray on the car?

There are some pimped N16s around. Not much though...

really? any pics that u can post? god knows how long have i search the internet but i've found not a single pimped n16 on malaysian ground... the only time i saw it was during the V3 motorshow in metropolitan college few days ago, and even then, it was only 1 car... haihzzz


ps: glad to have the thread slightly more alive now

I think PUSPAKOM provide that service, I'm not too sure... U can ask around in the F&F forum, sure got someone know wan...

feedback time (advise and opinions welcome):
i just took my SG-L on a 140kmph ride on kesas highway and i found out that i) the car tends to suave quite a lot to the left.
ii) RPM needle tends to 'jump' between 4 to 6 when press the accelerator
iii)the road seems very smooth, but my car seems to bump around and go bouncing. (from wat i heard, sentra is supposed to give a smooth ride)

wat do you guys think? could it be an allignment and suspension problem?
and take note, my car is almost brand new, only 300km old..

1) Looks like ur car needs alignment. Remember to check toe and camber setting as well.
2) Ur Sentra is running on Overdrive gear which is weak when going up hill, hence it drops down to 3rd gear to get back up to speed.
3) Since ur car is brand new, there shouldn't be any problems with your absorbers and springs. This bumping and bouncing could be caused by bad alignment of the front wheels.

Also, check all your tyres for irregular wear...

Toe and Camber (and Caster) are settings found on wheel alignment, which is related to the suspension...

Find out more about Wheel Alignment here...

I think it would be a nice idea to have a TT session...

That's not a real 4-pot, it's those caliper covers that's available in accessories shops such as Brother's or Eneos...
