I dun think they are going to bring in the new C-1 platform Sentra (USDM)... Japan had completely phased out the Sunny/Sentra and Pulsar ranges and replaced them with the Latio and Tiida ranges... I dun think there will be anymore new Sentras...

my brake pads are almost due and i was wondering what you brake pads are you guys using? OEM or aftermarket?

currently contemplating on either bendix metal king titanium or ferodo zero...

any comments are more than welcome...

My Sentra is changed metal king brake pads, now my Rim always Black color and hard to wash!! finger too big cannot go in the Rim!! so cannot to wash -.- you better use back Origina Brake Pad. Sentra Origina Brake Pad more eat then Metal King and Rim will not to black color!! so english bad lol

haha....
so we enjoy our sentra is good enough....

Just back from wheels shop. feel stupid. Dunno how come I go and choose dark gunmetal rims for my silver sentra. Looks odd now. Feels like a downgrade rather than an enthusiastic upgrade.

i want to ask. the sentra 1.8 (current model) is 4 or 5 speed auto transmission?
if compare to a civic 1.7, which is faster?

Oh dear, that's not good... Your Sentra is N16?

N16 Sentra 1.8 QG18DE engine uses a 4-speeder auto...

Not too sure which is faster, anyone got the specs of the 2 cars in question?

i think pick up, honda will be better....

Actually, this thread is catered to all Sentra owners regardless of the model generation.

I nearly bought the N16 several years back but decided not to when I discovered that the aircond system does not include blowing cold air to the bottom (the driver and front passenger footwells)...

So, I stayed on with my B14... Thanks for your compliments, no tuning is done at the moment becoz I haven't even gotten to drive it yet... Still in workshop but it will be ready this week...

I'm not sure if everything is perfect or not, I just hope that it won't breakdown suddenly... The gearbox is the OE manual gearbox that came with the Pulsar VZ-R halfcut...

Yeah, I have the mynismo URL, why?

Vanquish : I see, that means that time you was with ur B14 and thinking to change to N16? hmm but why the lower blower is so important for you? any reason for that? anyhow u have a nice engine now it is pretty strong even its in the heavy N16.

This post has been edited by NISMOgan: Aug 1 2007, 09:29 PM

The lower blower is actually just a mechanical switch that redirects the cold air down to the foot wells, even the cheapest car in M'sia has it, so why Tan Chong went El Cheapo on the N16? The Singaporean and Thai N16 Sunny has it also... It's important to me becoz on a very hot day, it's nice to have some cold air blowing at the feet... And it's also good when your feet is wet after getting into the car from heavy rain, etc...

Oh i see, but i did not use it b4 coz i scare it will blow up all the dust and also make the cockpit smelly, it wont?

As long as ur aircond is not at full blast, it won't blow up the dusts... Just turn the knob halfway between upper vent and bottom vent is good enough...

oh haha got tactic huh, salute
so hows ur car? havent out from workshop yet?

Haha, not really a tactic la, just an experience...

My car is actually out from the workshop oredi... Tested the car for a few days and found some very minor electrical problems... Engine is working fine, the new clutch needs to be bedded in, still feels a bit un-smooth...

Took the car back to my mech to fix up the minor problems last Saturday, and it's oredi been fixed... The next thing he'll do today is to bring the car to Puspakom for inspection and JPJ approval...

Oh congrats !! hehe do tell us hows the approval
satisfied with the VVL power? if got chance i hope i can passage beside u to try try

Still got a long way to go... Apparently, I need to submit an application to JPJ Putrajaya first to inform them of my car being converted from an Auto trans to a Manual trans car... ONLY THEN can I take my car to Puspakom for inspection... Weird law... So, now waiting for the approval letter from JPJ Putrajaya...

The power of the VVL is good, but 95% of the time u dun even need to use it... The engine has a lot of pulling power from about 1,200 to 3,000rpm (ample torque)... There's hardly any need to rev the engine high... Unless you intend to race with another car...

One more thing I realized that after the conversion, my Sentra now has a bloody huge turning radius... According to the original car's spec sheet, the Pulsar VZ-R's turning radius is a whooping 5.2m! That's huge for a compact class car... A buddy of mine told me, this is normal for performance cars... All performance cars have big turn radius...
