They are pretty damn nice
i love them!!
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

2.5 V6 with 260HP not bad
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
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?
You mean a 3.5LOriginally Posted by SE-Rious1
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.
yeah 3.5 sorry
i find it hard to believe it couldnt beat an altima 3.5se. that doesnt make any sense to me.
Thats true, you don't see to many of them. 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
yeah those are pretty dope clean inside and out
ha ha thats retarded, its a upgraded altima 3.5se. makes more power, how could it not beat one?

Believe it.
The five speed is just better, the car was lighter. Ask 3.5altman, he's the one who raced him.
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.
the se-r was not a 5 speed?
2010 Scion xB
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
2010 Scion xB
SE-R's come with a six speed.
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
6 speed stick or a 5 speed a/t lol
No, it was a manual, and still got pulled. And 260 CRANK hp and 251 CRANK tq. Im talking about WHEEL hp/tq.
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
2010 Scion xB
Maybe.
It could also have to do with mods. The altima that beat him was an older model (02-03).
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.
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
2010 Scion xB
Yes! it does have TQ steer, lolol. Nothing to serious though. Good luck if you get it man, they're very nice cars.
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.
lol okay. 5sp>6spd
2010 Scion xB
I'll try to find the video and see if I can post it up.proof > words.
ha ha i wasnt meaning to sound sarcastic or anything, i was conceding (sp) 5sp>6spd.

Why don't you 2 just screw.

If you're gonna do it, overdo it.

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.

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!!!

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.

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