2006 Sentra SE-R Spec V/ Canton GA

[thesammy]

So I finally decided to join this forum. Don't know why I didn't become a part of it earlier. Lol.

Either way, just learning this forum, any other sentra or Canton guys around?
I tend to hang in Kennesaw and Marietta a pretty good bit too.

Just a few. I will make a show off sometime, I will save the rest for that. Haha.

[Okie_doke.]

Nice but I'd drop it and get some black wheels and murder that bitch out.

welcome

[Wrathre]

Welcome!

[bdydrpdmazda]

welsome,


I used to have an 03 spec vizzle, the peak of the spec v IMO but i traded it for the subie

[WTF?]

welcome from the woodstock/canton/kennesaw area. also nice car

[goi_ek]

welcome

[thesammy]

Thanks guys.

I plan on giving it a drop, but I prefer going with coilovers, so it's ganna set me back a little bit. Stuffs spensive. Lol.
As for black wheels, I haven't decided yet. It's still a work in progress.


Subie has a lot more potential, but I love my spec v. I'm not sure which way I'm heading with it, but maybe some FI in the future, or maybe a possible VQ swap.

[Outphase]

cool dude. get coilovers and some wheel spacers, go for some flush :)

[Wrathre]

welcome!

Yeah, I've been thinking about going flush! I may just look for nice, wider wheels. But it's pretty hard to come by in 4 lug. That's one of the few failures of this car. Lol

[thesammy]

So how does this forum work? Do I need to make a certain amount of posts in here before I can post around? This is the only section I have been able to successfully post anything. Haha.

[badassf4i]

Nice, I love the white specs. Where you located?

And the grille, I made it. Lol. With about $60 in random parts, and a bunch of hours put into it with no clue what to do, it turned out pretty good I guess. I'm still changing things to it here and there though.

Yeah, but nice to see someone I know on this forum. Ha.
Still going to the varsity? I wish I could make it out. If I'm lucky, my last night class will be canceled the first Thursday of some month soon! Lol

02 was the dreaded year for the spec. Lol. Was it all stock? I bet it had something to do with the pre cat, or butterfly screws every time the engine blew.

Preventable stuff. Otherwise, sorry it left a bad taste in your mouth. Lol

I live in Gainesville Ga, about 45 mins away from ATL

well the grille looks awesome, i hate the tooth on mine but i dont want to go without a grille at the moment, ive seen the billet grilles online but i dont like the way they look, i still have to get I/H/E
I've only had the car for about 3 weeks

Ah, almost total opposite side of me. Lol.

I just bought an extra grille and worked on it until I was done and ready to put it on.

I would suggest getting header first! Forget everything else until you get the header. It provides one of the best WHP gains for an NA spec, and it gets rid of the precat we have in our stock ones, which are notoriously known to break apart during abuse, causing the engine to blow. Lol

And lock-tite your butterfly screws. This could also lead to a blown engine if not done. If you aren't familiar with the car (Which I am assuming you aren't since you recently bought it), it might not make much sense.

I would suggest becoming a part of some Sentra forums. There is TON's of info on the stuff I just told you about + more.

specvforum.com, thespecvboard.com, b15sentra.net are some of the best IMO.

If you have any questions, LMK. I don't mind helping a brother out ;)

[SpecV523]

Yeah it makes sense, my friend has had one for a while and he told me all of this before i even bought the car, i'm also a member of myspec-v.com and thespecvboard.com, ive read up on all of this, just saving up and trying not to abuse the car too much right now. i love the car tho its really fun to drive, how long have you had yours?

Sweet. Yeah, really fun with some of this small curvy roads around where I live. Haha.

I have had mine a little over 7 months. I'm still fairly new to it too, but I have been learning.

How many miles you have now? The header thing is usually a hit or miss deal. Don't be to scared, but don't take your car high in the RPMs to often, until you get the header.


Right now I have mostly basics, and still missing some fundamentals. Lol

-4-2-1 Header, forgot who makes it
-Custom mandrel bent 2.5"mid-pipe with magnaflow hi-flow cat
-Nismo CAI
-Relocated Knock Sensor
-Nismo R-tune Control Arms
-ES mmi's
-Rob's $7 Wheel hop aid
-Motegi black "tuner lugs"
-Slotted and drilled rotors
-Chrystal Titanium O.Z Racing Ultraleggera 17x7 wheels (15lbs)
-Custom fitted 300zx clutch disk
-Custom Mesh Grille
-Nismo floor mats
-White LED map lights

nice mods, the car had 80,000 miles on it, its pretty much all stock, it has the brembo package on it but i think i need to replace the pads soon, ive looked online and havent found any for the spec, i read somewhere that you have to go to the dealership to get replacements but idk

Brembo's are nice. Wish I had them, but I got every other option besides it, so can't complain. Lol.


You can find pads on TSVB, under the vendor section, Import Car Parts. I'm pretty sure they will have almost anything you will need. Here is a link to the pads sections...

Look at the different ones, and then start googling them to compare prices. Usually they have competitive prices though.
