altima se-r

[ksinao]

does anyone have any personaly experiance with these cars? im really growing fond of them, and im thinking that its probably going to be my next car.

[SE-Rious1]

They are pretty damn nice

[JITB]

i love them!!

[Gutling]

Ive driven a few, they are real nice. look 10x better than regular altima. Decently quick, though fwd pwns, lol and the factory shift knob is huuuge

[SE-Rious1]

2.5 V6 with 260HP not bad

[ksinao]

i like how you dont see many of them. they look really ****ing clean. nice interior. decent power. and WAY cheaper than the G coupe which was my alternative.

ive seen some on auto trader with only 20k miles going for 22,500

[Mayniac]

Had a friend who had one at one point.

Pretty nice car, in and out. Power isn't all that is should be, considering it comes with the "SE-R" badge, which is should be totally diffrent from its original design. With some bolt on's it can get alittle quicker, but nothing too impressive. My friend had an cold air intake, test pipes, and a catback.

Car sounded pretty cool, but the power wasn't enough to beat an altima 3.5se five speed. With the same bolt on's. The car handles also handles pretty damn good, on stock tires its pretty good, but add some kdw's and you have a nice handling fwd.

What is it that the SE-R has that grabs your attention?

[Mayniac]

2.5 V6 with 260HP not badYou mean a 3.5L

[ksinao]

i like how you see very few on the street. im not looking for a very fast car, anything over 250 hp is enough to keep me content. i think they look extremely clean. i love the S5 grill on them. and they are very reasonably priced.

[SE-Rious1]

You mean a 3.5L
:lmfao:yeah 3.5 sorry

[ksinao]

i find it hard to believe it couldnt beat an altima 3.5se. that doesnt make any sense to me.

They're nice man, I like them. But about that 250 horsepower thing, stock they make about 210-220whp. And like 230wtq. Thats what nissanperformancemag got, and what my friend got as well. Still though, nice car all around. I like it in red.

a/t<5speed

[GaGen2Teg]

yeah those are pretty dope clean inside and out

[Gutling]

ha ha thats retarded, its a upgraded altima 3.5se. makes more power, how could it not beat one?

[Mayniac]

i find it hard to believe it couldnt beat an altima 3.5se. that doesnt make any sense to me.Believe it.

The five speed is just better, the car was lighter. Ask 3.5altman, he's the one who raced him.

[Mayniac]

ha ha thats retarded, its a upgraded altima 3.5se. makes more power, how could it not beat one?You must not know alot. Once again, believe it.

Im sure we still have the video somewhere. I'll ask him next time I see him.

[Gutling]

the se-r was not a 5 speed?

[Gutling]

and lol i have raced se-r vs reg 3.5 altimas, and maximas. lol when i get back to work in about 10 mins ill do it again :)

[Mayniac]

the se-r was not a 5 speed?SE-R's come with a six speed.

[ksinao]

Believe it.

The five speed is just better, the car was lighter. Ask 3.5altman, he's the one who raced him.


ok ok ok i got it, and the se-r was a a/t. ok. but i would get mine in a 6mt.

also the altima se-r comes with 260 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque

[SE-Rious1]

6 speed stick or a 5 speed a/t lol

[Mayniac]

ok ok ok i got it, and the se-r was a a/t. ok. but i would get mine in a 6mt.

also the altima se-r comes with 260 hp and 251 lb-ft of torqueNo, it was a manual, and still got pulled. And 260 CRANK hp and 251 CRANK tq. Im talking about WHEEL hp/tq.

[Gutling]

all things equal (Driver) ser should have pulled. i have never had a 5 spd 3.5 alt hang with me driving a ser unless i ****ed up a gear

*edit didnt mean the ser completely blew a reg alt out the water, but its clear the ser is faster, though not by a whole lot

[Mayniac]

It could also have to do with mods. The altima that beat him was an older model (02-03).

[ksinao]

No, it was a manual, and still got pulled. And 260 CRANK hp and 251 CRANK tq. Im talking about WHEEL hp/tq.

damn. that must have been a quick 3.5se.
210 whp is still most than my last two cars crank hp. so i dont think ill be missing out. the only thing im worried about is i heard it has mad torque steer.

[Gutling]

Oh the altima was modded and the ser not? I could see a intake/exhaust 3.5 taking a ser, the rated hp diff between them is only like 10hp. but the ser supposed to have better gearing.

but yea, for the orignal post lol se-rs are very nice, semi-rare (just dont see a lot of them) but a 3.5 altima 5spd would be a viable choice too :P

[Mayniac]

damn. that must have been a quick 3.5se.
210 whp is still most than my last two cars crank hp. so i dont think ill be missing out. the only thing im worried about is i heard it has mad torque steer.Yes! it does have TQ steer, lolol. Nothing to serious though. Good luck if you get it man, they're very nice cars.

[Mayniac]

Oh the altima was modded and the ser not? I could see a intake/exhaust 3.5 taking a ser, the rated hp diff between them is only like 10hp. but the ser supposed to have better gearing.Both had the SAME mods. And im sure the six speed is better at city driving, but on the hwy, the five speed has a better sweet spot than the 6. Longer gears are better than shorter, especially when they have almost the same HP.

[Gutling]

:( lol okay. 5sp>6spd

[Mayniac]

:( lol okay. 5sp>6spdI'll try to find the video and see if I can post it up. :goodjob: proof > words.

[Gutling]

ha ha i wasnt meaning to sound sarcastic or anything, i was conceding (sp) 5sp>6spd.

[Glides]

Why don't you 2 just screw.

[1SICKLEX]

SE-R is not that much faster if any. It was like a 10hp bump and again to the front wheels. Better tires will help with the launch. Everything was cosmetic pretty much, 18" wheels, red added to the interior, smoked tails, different lower front bumper etc. Its good looking stock.

However has anyone driven a 3.5 Altima? Torque steer galore and they handle pretty sloppy. They are VERY quick though, the VQ engine is a beast in all those NIssans. Its a very swift car, especially once up and running.

[Siverprobegt]

With the se-r,your just paying for the name!!!The 02-03 altime are faster to me.Ask swoll or 3.5altman.The 5 speed works out better!!!

[Kevykev]

SE-Rs have a great presence - they are outstanding cars. However, if you're smart you can save money buy purchasing a 3.5se and making it look like one (Without adding the SE-R badges)

If you purchase an 05 SE you'll only need a few cosmetic parts, 02-04 Require an 05-06 Hood

You won't have the 6speed the dash or the colored leather but you don't need it.

[3.5altman]

:ninja: :ninja: whats going on in here? Somebody talking about altima's? :D

[bigpimpatl]

the se-r is like 150 lbs heavier than a 3.5 with the special seats and trim, otherwise basically the same, maybe tuned a bit more aggressively

[3.5altman]

Its heavier, has different interior, wheels, suspension, sexy body kit, tail lights and a six speed tranny!

[Dracc]

my aunt drives a 3.5 alt.. torque steer homie.. other then that i love the VQ's trying to find me a maxima again.. or an SE-R Alt

[OnURleft]

They are def. good looking cars but I also find it a let down that the fastest stock 0-60 and 1/4 mile test was done on a 3.5se

[Brown Man]

they look great and are pretty quick

[koukis14]

Stock for stock a 5 speed manual 3.5 Altima is faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile than a 6 speed manual SE R Altima. Motor Trend and Car and Driver both made a point of stating this fact when they tested the SE R when it first came out. The SE R is heaver with the same power. Also with the SE R you have to shift 3 times to reach 60 and only twice with the normal 3.5 Altima. The SE R does however handle MUCH MUCH better and looks a million times better.

so true my friend, so true! I have proved this point on the street as well! the altima se-r is one sexy ass whip! I plan on converting my body parts on my car to an se-r :ninja:

[3.5altman]

thats was sup, well you can find an se-r! As far as the maxima's go, finding a 3.5 6~peed is going to be fun, they are rare! :goodjob:

god this thread is funny. i would murder any altima ser with my 3.5se. i have raced several and they dont have the long highway gears like the se does. the 6 spd is ok for digs i guess but, they still would fall on thier asses. dont get me wrong the car looks great, but with that heavy ass body and heavy ass 18 inch wheels it couldnt pull itself nowhere without nitrous. i have a few videos floating around here somewhere, let me find one and i will post it up.

[3.5altman]

yea that will work too :crazy:

not saying that the performance or looks was ****ty. just stating that the se is faster from the factory and with mods.

[anothaRRR]

Not yet, wanna lower it, put wheels, and add some performance to it...

I wasnt arguing that at all as I wouldnt know, I just bought it cause it looked nice and I needed a 4dr family car...

I guess they don't know that anything you touch somehow runs faster than what it's supposed to!!! hahaha
