My new B11 Sentra Wagon

[.gauge.]

Xan, The car ONLY had a driver side mirror, it never came with a passenger mirror from factory. I have a nice little Nissan plate where it would go. Though when I did put them on, they did look funny to me for a minute. It also only has lap belts in the back.

QD,I live in Cumming and spend a lot of time in Gwinnett. Okay, July 4th. I'll write it on my arm with sharpie every day to remind me.


Altima Charlie, I really want to drop a VQ in my Altima, it sounds like thats the hot swap right now. So how does the new engine run? You got the extra 5 ponies?

Folks ride from all over to our meets. That's we have them all over town, so it's not a short jaunt for some folks every time. It's in Conyers this time because we're in the festival. But seriously, come on out. It's a family affair as well. Later, QD.

I will probably make it out with a couple of my buddies.

Make sure ther car are Japanese and OS, if they plan on bringing them. Unless they're parking outside the festival.

If you have $10, you can do it yourself in your own driveway. You don't even have to remove the wheels. In fact, in order to do it, you can't remove them. All you do is turn your wheel left or right to get the better angle. I'll show you later with drawing on technique when you're ready to do it. The reason why GZ did it so quick is because they have the big boy torch. The $10 gets you a small, personal torch from the hardware store/Wal Mart.

As for the bumpers, I'd leave them both on. Car looks cleaner that way. Later, QD.

It seems to pull really hard. I didn't put any of my performance parts back on, headers didn't fit anymore. It isn't perfect yet, the fans aren't coming on and the temp gauge isn't working. It is great to drive it again. I'd love to see the VQ swap done. I bought my motor from a guy trying it but he never finished. A 2k1 alty ka would run that sentra pretty hard! What is the motor code for your new car? Was there a diesal model like yours?

The motor is a GA16E believe it or not, and yes there was a diesel option in the States. I plan on keeping the car carb'd, but if I was going to but another motor in, it'd be a VVL. So wait, nobody has yet to finish the VQ swap?


New Pics! Put the bumper back on and forgot how hideous it fit and looks. Had to do some ghetto rigging to get it to stay on, which is another reason for the horrible fitment. Also had to zip it up.












And the ghettoness.....

i dont know if you used to get on the altima board back when they where cool, but a guy that called himself Red-Lion {who everybody thought was a altima god} tried the swap. i believe he scraped the project. that was the only one i ever heard of. there was some sucessfull sr20det swap on there , but they were real high doller jobs. i am sure someone has finished the VQ but not that have seen.
anyway we should be talking sentras instead of altimas, i like the bumper on much better, can you fix the downward tilt i think it would look fine. bumpers drive me crazy when it comes to old school jap cars. never know what to do with them. had my car completly bumperless for a day or 2 but i had to put the rear one back on. just looked funny.

Yeah I remember his thread. It was the thread that really got me thinking about putting a VQ in the Alty.

I can't help the tilt, where it bolts to the inner fender wall is warped and fubar-ed, which is why I have that U-Clamp in the bumper hole and then in some other random hole to keep it in place. I believe I'm going to try and find a N13 Pulsar bumper and fit it on there once I get some extra cash.
