    For the power diffrence wich im willing to bet it Almost feels like nothing, I would go with the 03 front end.
    I don't know the big dif between the 04+ and previous but I have driven a '01 and I have to agree with julio, the power is really nothing, don't get me wrong, it runs but the redline sucks, you get full power around 5500rpm or so but redline at like 6500 or so. They use the same concept as vtec, vvt-i or something.

    If you drove an 01 it was not a Spec V. There is a difference between a Sentra SER and a Sentra SER Spec V.

    Also you are talking about a 6 speed tranny, so the gearing between 03+ Spec Vs are minimal differences... they are already ridculously short as it is. In fact, the "not so loved" 02 tranny is close to the 03, the biggest difference being the ratios between 2nd and 3rd gear were GARBAGE in the 02. The revs go to sh*t during the 2 --> 3 shift. VERY fun car to drive though, and also puts way more cars in its rear-view than it should, even stock. At one point my spec was the fastest STOCK run on www.b15.net at 14.9 (Darlington)... I got a freak from factory I guess... the yellow paint adds HP!! But there are a few guys who recorded high 14.80s stock as well.

    OK, you're way off. 01 Sentra might have been an SE, which is a SR20DE w/5spd. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ENGINE. They have no variable valve timing, .5L less displacement, are heavier, etc, etc, etc.

    And even if you're talking about the 02+ SE-R's engine (QR25DE), you're still off. It is NOTHING like VTEC. VTEC uses two sets of lobes on the camshaft...the engine stays on the smaller lobe until X rpms, then switches to the bigger lobe. The QR25DE uses continuously variable timing. Meaning it will advance or retard the timing on the intake cam depending on driving conditions and throttle position.

    There is another "switchover," but that is merely the dual-stage intake runners opening up the short runners at 5000rpms.

    Please do a little research before posting about something you know little about. Thanks.
