It's actually a nice litle car, here's the stats:

 

1994 Nissan Sentra E (Base)

61,000 MILES

Ice Cold A/C

1.6L - 16 Valve - Twin Cam - Inline 4

110 HP, 108 TQ

5-speed manual

2350+- Pounds

38MPG(EPA) highway/33 city

Bright Red with grey interor

AM/FM Cassette Stock Stereo

Brand New Tire(good ones, too)

 

 

That little car flys. My brother was driving it and it went 40-60 faster than we would have ever though possible(literally around 4-5 seconds good for any car), I guess its due to the impressive set-up of an engine it's got for what it is.

The paint is in real good shape, has 3 small door dings and a dent on the trunk, nothing major at all. Paint is very glossy, and the body is in good shape. Judging by the oil change stick and the small used dealer we got it from (he got it wholesale form a big dealer), it's been drivin 1200 miles since last april, yet its runs and drives flawlessly. I've found out for less than 1000 you can get these in the 14's without anything major!(smell rice?)

 

Only drawback is regular steering, but this car will see 95% of its life over 50 MPH, so I guess it dosen't matter. If he dosen't like it, My dad's gonna turn around and sell it, especially since the gas might jump any day now.

 

First plan is oil change, injector cleaner(to be safe), and I'm trying to talk him into platnium plugs(it's a "multi" valve, plat's will be good for it, especially for MPG's)

 

The truck is taking a much needed rest in my bro driveway starting at the end of the week, and will be seeting unless called upon for back-up duty. Don't worry, I will make sure it's kept in shape if its not driving much!

Now you need a mad-tyte wing, cracked ground effects, lots and lots of neon and fake chrome and some wheels that don't match so I can direct my attention away from Jon since he has yet to rice out the Avy...  :flag:

actually, my dad likes the look of the 94 stock SE-R kit, not overdone at all, its makes it look better. I'm checking prices on them used/from wrecked ones. We aren't dumping money into this car.

How about a six inch lift with some BFGs

No , guess that wouldn't work.

 

why not? Some 35s would look awesome  :flag:

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
