Former 2003 SE-R spec v owner checking in! I loved the car. I would totally agree with Scotty here if we was talking about the B15 Sentra SE 2.0 which carried the SR20DE over from the previous 2 generations. That Sentra has the first run of the QR25DE which suffered from problems with the pre-cat material breaking up and being sucked back through the engine. Easy fix- swap it for a cat less header (what I did) or try your luck with the Nissan fix which reflashed the ECU. The other problem was with the screws on the butterfly valves coming loose and being sucked into the intake. Easy fix was unscrew them and apply loctite before screwing them back in. I’m guessing this owner got that stuff or is super lucky. Either way I’m happy to see a B15 Se-r alive and kicking.

If you all find one, note that the 2zz has oil starvation issues. Just upgrade the oil pan to one from monkey wrench racing which increases the oil capacity and baffling.

I can attest to that. I have a 1986.5 Nissan hardbody truck. I think the original owner ran the original engine to the ground.

Truck still runs but needs several ancillary components such as a new alternator, brake booster, brake master cylinder, new engine and transmission mounts, and shocks. I patched up holes in the muffler and exhaust manifold, so that’s done.

You are right again Scotty. I had one of those 1.8S Nissan engines in a 2006 Sentra and it blew a head gasket. When I saw how narrow the strip of head gasket was between cylinder 2 and 3, I knew it was a time bomb waiting for the opportunity to blow the head gasket again. I replaced the head gasket and sold the car because I couldn't trust it to be reliable. I'm inclined to believe that Nissan bored out their old reliable 1.6L engine from the 1990's to create the 1.8S engines and didn't leave enough material between those 2 cylinders!

@vandahlmc7871 4 года назад

I have an 06 Sentra SE (SE R with a 1.8 instead of the 2.5) with 276K miles on it. Transmission isn't the smoothest but the damn thing refuses to die. Only repairs done beyond normal maintenance were replacing the blower motor for the HVAC, replaced the alternator, and temp sensor and thermostat. Solid car. It's sad they just don't have the quality they used to.

I think oldschool pre-2002 or so Nissan is really underrated. You get a sporty and nice feeling car, really almost Toyota/Honda-esque build quality, but they don't have nearly the tax on them old Hondas and Toyotas do, and you can find nice Sentras, Altimas, and Maximas in triple digit price ranges no problem. I have a B13 Sentra and it's got double wishbone suspension like a Honda.

It has over 265,000 still goes strong. I still need to do body work. I put a ton of news parts in it like new brakes/rotors, brake lines, fuel lines, radiator, starter, exhaust, new belts, new valve cover gasket, tuned it with ngk spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributed with rotor, tires, fixed the hole in passenger floor and the strut towers are rebuilt, put new speakers in as well. I gotta fix the rest of the trunk and the two side skirts then repaint the car and I'm putting in new struts throughout. Edit: I only paid 600 dollars for the car and put only 1000 in it
