It was a bit underwhelming though, only trim bits and a unique paint tone. And Tsurus had been de-engineered to hell by then. Only the African and middle east specs had more pieces removed or downgraded.

Had a spec V from new in 2004 with the track pack which meant front brembo calipers. Picked it up with 47km on the odometer and had it till 300K. Let me tell you it surprised a few people on the street and got a lot of looks and questions when it was new. FF a few years and with full exhaust including a header along with suspension upgrades, hawk HP plus pads and for one season DOT slicks, it did a hell of a job at the driver development track at mosport. And full track at Shannonville in Ontario for lapping days. Hauled ass out of hard corners with the limited slip and plenty of low end grunt. Surprising a lot of cars triple the price as I watched them slowly disappear in my rear view after a few laps. Including a cocky M5 owner at mosport who came all the way from the states to boast about his car and how many ponies it had (400 I believe he said). He turned into a man of few words after the first lapping session 😎

Just to name a few.

Randomly came across this video. But my dad had a B13 1992 back when i was a kid. It wasn't a flashy or cool looking car. But it had the trim options that were far ahead of its time. The R spec came with all power windows, mirrors, a CD mixer, power antennas, auto climate control etc.. it even had a key lock so you couldn't just take the key out like a normal car without pushing a key release button. No matter what the best part was that the engine loved to rev to the redline. It had great acceleration for the time and you could do 100-120 and not feel like you had to hold on to your dear life. Sad that nissan could never make a car as good as it once was. We later moved on to toyotas and hondas but that nissan B13 was one hell of a machine

@takafumiarisawa70 5 лет назад

@@BigHeadClan Ohhh I know about that, I only thought it was relevant to what I posted and it's only partially related. I used to live in a part of my country known as "Japan's dumpster" and you know what they say one man's garbage yada yada so I know about the second hand market. Back then you could get an early GTR R32 for 15 thou or less and 20 for a Vspec, there were Evos, WRX for days, oddities of all kinds, etc etc. The thing is when you're looking up for an old Sentra you're looking for some specific traits, like for example having a spare pool that's _thirty_ years old or the ability to swap directly a first gen ATTESSA system and an engine (SR16VE, SR20VE/DE/DET, GA16E and more.... pick your poidon) all in one afternoon's work. You see, the Sentra B13 is a special kind of car. Most people won't consider it a driver's car but it is. In its most modest trim it's a car that will last for over a million miles without any major issues and you can turn it into a track car after you get bored with it without feeling guilty (you don't even need to strip the interior because the 4 door clocks at 2260lb and 2 door at 2250lb roughly).

As an owner of a B15 Sentra, this video brings me so much joy and I'm glad to see Sentras getting recognition here. There's so much more to be said about them. I always tell my car friends the B15 SER Spec V is a stupidly underrated car. Torquey QR25DE, HLSD, Brembos, strong 6-speed tranny (same used on V6 Maxima and Altima) etc. It was even compared to having handled just as well as the Integra at the time, despite not having full independent rear suspension. On paper the car was an absolute beast and Nissan went all out. What plagued the Spec V was the engine. It had some initial issues with pre-cat failure and butterfly valve screws getting sucked into the engine. Both easy fixes, but I feel that hurt the car's image. Also, I agree, it's not the best looking car (I thought it was ugly back in my NSFU2 days). B15U dot com is the main site if you want to read up on the crazy amount of info there is on this car. Also 2J-Racing has developed a TON of aftermarket parts for these cars. Fun fact: The popular Garrett GT2860RS turbo , also called the "Disco Potato", was named after a funky looking B15 Sentra that they used to test prototype. They said the car is shaped like a potato lol

I own a 2000 Sentra se-2.0 it came with a sr20 and at that time (since for two years they didn’t make an se-r) it was the top trim level 😅 I love it it’s amazing and it belonged to my dad originally I traded him my 94 mustang gt (5.0) for it Edit: I noticed you said the se-r package was released with the 2.5 in 2000 but it wasn’t until 2002 that the se-r had returned and with that engine option Edit 2: you missed an opportunity to talk about the se-r from 2007 that also had the first variation of cvt in it that when floored went up to 6k rpm and held it there for the rest of when you floored it keeping it in its peak power band and reducing lag times with having to shift like other cars.. also they were very reliable (my fathers lasted all of 259k miles before we sold it) Also there is a 6 speed version the spec V in that year as well. Good video I just wanted more in def coverage

You forgot to mention that the SR20DE was produced in the B14 Sentra SE-L and 200 SX SE-R which was a 2 door Sentra that Nissan decided to call the 200 SX for some reason. Even though I agree this chassis wasn't as capable as the B13 it still may have been worth mentioning. SR20 was also still available in the B15 up until 2001 I believe, even though it wasn't SE-R trim. Anyways keep up the good work, I look forward to your videos.

It’s worth noting that they missed the fact that the SR20 was in the Sentra during the b15 generation under the SE (2.0) trim level. Tbh the Sentra SE is a better buy than the SER (for the b15 generation), especially if you can find one in manual.

Better ratios for the 02-06 Spec V gearbox and same LSD as V6 cars. Great components you didn’t even mention.

Yeah, I own an Altima SER 6mt and, it is so fun to drive. You've got a two faced car. A car super spacious, big trunk, well equipped but at the same time, you've got a sporty car with such a great exhaust note, a 6 speed manual gearbox and lots of torque, and you can feel the great rigidity and the grip of the rear suspension. It feels solid and stable, way much better than a normal Altima as its suspension is a little rigid.
