Anyone race a Se-R Vspec [Archive]

Hi guys, they're out there alright. Coincidentally, I was riding passenger in my friend's Civic Dx. He has an exhaust, cam gears, CAI, and pulleys. There is a car tailing us really close and we can't make out what it is. Thought it was a WRX at first glance. My friend punches it and it is a Sentra. The Sentra easily catches up and kicks our asses. Now, I do weight quite a bit and my friend has a heavy stereo, but from what I saw, the thing packed a punch. Strange looking car and it did have the Type SER badge on it. It's not a hoax, that thing kicked some ass in the horsepower department. I wish I had my GT!! Would have been a good run.

Take care,

Fin

theres a red spec v out at da dealership by where i live. it looks nice but its not really an eye catcher like da mazda MP3 or anythings. its got a decent soundsystem. all rockford fosgate with an 8" sub in da back. i thought it would look better then it did tho.

SCC tested a 5 speed 2001 Sentra SE earlier this year and got a 0-60mph of 7.8s and a ¼mi of 15.7s @ 86.1mph. They also test a 6 speed 2002 Sentra SE-R Spec V in the December issue, they ran 0-60mph in 7.8s and the ¼mi in 15.7s @ 87.4mph.

Yea, my bro hit the 1/4 at 15.7 with only an intake. He had really good 60 ft. times.....ranging from 2.1 - 2.2. It's that viscious limited slip differential that the SE's come stock with. Now since the SE-R's V-Spec is equipped with the helical, I'm guessing that it should hit the same 60 ft. times with a good driver. Can't wait to get my TRD helica LSD on Friday. I guess we'll find out when we test drive it.

the newest SCC says they tested 5, I repeat 5 different ones... just to be sure. There are two articles... one article on BS manufacturer claims, and another on the vehicle itself.

The car a first rumorville was supposed to be awesome, but then
when looking over the specs for the Spec V 180hp @ 6000 rpm but then 6100 rev limiter kicks in.

Well we went to the dealership to go see if we can test drive the thing. And they answered us with a "No". They told us that they only let the potential buyers test drive it because they don't want to jack up the mileage. Also it was the 2nd Spec V that they had gotten on the lot. But we did manage to take a look at the interior and under the hood. The interior looked really good. The seats actually look pretty good in person. Gauges looked interesting, but the thing that made the 4 door monster the talk of the town is it's audio system. 9 speakers (including a 8 or 10" subwoofer in the trunk). What blew me away was, it's all Rockford Fosgate. Pretty neat. Underneath the hood was a very pleasant site. A 2.5 liter engine just sitting in this huge engine bay. The engine cover was a little cheasy, but when we turned that beast on, it made a very pleasing sound. You can tell that this engine was no joke. The engine bay has so much room to do whatever you want. So spacious compared to our cars. So I give Nissan props for that. Now the only complaint I had was the shifter and clutch. The shifter was 66% shift knob, this thing practically covered the whole shifter. It also seems like it has very long throws. A short shifter can probably fix that up. The clutch was a little mushy, a little too mushy compared to the RSX. The RSX's clutch was just perfect. But other than those complaints, the car has a lot of potential. It's basically import show ready str8 out from the box. I wish I could've driven the thing around, but I guess I'll have to wait until my bro gets one.

its ashame they wouldnt let you drive it.. how are u supposed to know if u are interested if u dont drive it.. ya know..

after the clutch feel of an ACT 2600. i hate factory clutches

dee5330

11-20-2001, 04:40 PM

So how much of a difference is the ACT clutch compared to the TRD? Just wondering, cuz I'm debating between the two.

11-20-2001, 04:53 PM

Yep...they are quick little suckers...:)

They got a LOADED Spec-V at the dealer near my work...
Red...6-sp...6-disc changer...sunroof...loaded to the brim with everything available...

Going for $19,600...

The looks of the thing in person are...undescribable! It looks wicked...great...sleek...yet rich looking!

The things drives like a dream...I took it to redline and it screams all the way there...of course it was not broken in yet...but the people with the celica gt's...You would get it handed to you pretty bad!

I can't wait to see some times for them...'real times'...not mag ones...

Yea....I'm guessing these cars are bound to hit low 15's. Shoot, I wouldn't be surprised if they hit high 14's. They come with Z rated tires, and with all that torque plus a helical LSD. It's bound to be fast.

11-20-2001, 09:00 PM

awe man..i wanna drive one :)

simphmerj

11-20-2001, 09:10 PM

i test drove a white one @ CarMax the other day...it will put a hurt on the GT, but that damn limiter...think Nissan saw how much money Toyota was spending replacing engines and decided it wasn't for them.

however, once they have a proper ECU, plus proper headers, a high-flow underfloor cat and 2.5" exhaust, i think they'll beat GT-S's. and that's still under the cost of a loaded GT-S. w/ LSD.

however, the steering wheel sucks and so does the shifting. plus there is very little accelerator pedal movement. think ill wait.

I'll let you guys know in a couple months when i get one

BTW the difference between my clutch and the trd clutch is the fact mine can hold 2700 lbs. the trd clutch can't
mine is more or less a race clutch

its heavy. feels great. not that light whimpy crap that come sin stock cars

Welp, myself and two 3g owners headed down to the dealership and my buddy is lookin to buy a car. We are lookin around and spy a Spec V spankin new sittin there. We looked it over, very nice looking car. A little high of the ground, but hey ... lowering kit/ springs will take care of that right?! Well we asked for a test drive and the "new salesgirl" let us three take it out....... by ourselves... (she don't know us vewey well --do she?):D So we take it out and take turns beatin the piss outta it. When I finally got to drive it, I quickly tromped on it, peeled out all the way through 1st and chirped hard and long into 2nd. The only problem is that I bounced off rem limiter so many times I can't even count it. When you're used to living at 8100rpm 6000 red line is a little harsh. Now the car did feel very quick outta the box, twisties were also pretty fun as well. Ok, now the first thing I do when I get in the car is feel the shifter, what a joke. I thought I was gonna break that thing off. It is not metal/aluminum it is some sort of plastic. It just feels to light in your hand... maybe some will like that? :confused: The throws were pretty long and the shifter lacked any nothiness at all- no feel to the gears. I have a TRD SS with kumosport bushings for comparison. All in all this car is a winner though, it was priced at 18,952 or something like that. Nice price for a car like that. Well when we get back to the dealership from out "test drive", it was a good thing that the salesgirl was busy with another customer cuz it smelled like burnt rubber really really bad. :p very very very fun

remember kids, no one as of yet has tested a production version. also think when the celica first came out it was "supposed" to run 15.5 stock with 0-60 in the 7's somewhere

its obvious with a good driver the spec-v is faster then what it is lead on to be
i'll get around to driving one this week if i can find one

This just in, Motor Trend just tested the SE-R Spec-V in the 01/02 issue.

0-60 7.28
1/4 15.44@90.08

Seeing that MT has gotten 15.2@93mph out of the GT-S and many of you have gotten well into the 14s with your mostly stock GT-S', I can completely see a lot of SE-Rs dipping well into the 14s with little or no mods.

With Bryan H driving, 14.8@91 stock. With the rev limiter moved up to 6500rpms, 14.5-14.6.

just thought id share this with you guys about "driving" the spec v

i went to state line nissan. new a sales guy out there. they had a silver one on the floor that i want. not going to take it off the floor. no biggie, so i took a new 6spd maxima out. kids. unless you have mods, don't even think about playin with one of these 6spds. very mean box stock

went to blue springs nissan, had one on the lot. asked to drive it. i figured showing up in a maxima it would be cool. NOT A CHANCE. he was like "could you sign papers today?"
i was like are you that ****ing stupid?
then his comment was "how would you feel if you got a car with 300 miles on it already". my comment was. whats it matter to you. you have already driven it. then we got into a money talk. never assume someone is broke. mistake number one. i just got smart with him and told him he lost his monthly commission because he was a ****. which is roughly 2-5k a month. {if he wants to bull****. i can do the same}

talked to my dad about this, he knows the general manager out there and that sales man will be fired on monday.

With the Sentra's 180Lbs of torque. With Decent traction it's gonna be hard to beat off the line. I say a Set of DR's will get that ****er into the low 14's.
As for the 6100 redline... Good.. That's how it should be. With the redline that low it means that there is torque and hp throughtout the whole band.. Unlike the 8000rpm redlined motors where it's a very narrow curve.
I'm gonna stop by the local dealership and see if they have one. I may be comming back to the 4cyl's :)

EDIT - No Sentra's at the local Nissian dealership

Showing once again your grasp of the obvious, you never asked the question, you made a statement. In response to your observation about my contributions to the board, I normally respond in kind. If the question or comment is well intended and sincere then that is how I try to respond. If it is self-serving, ludicrous or obvious bull**** then I try to get at the truth or simply stoop to outright ridicule. That of course was my last response to you.

The statement which prompted this exchange went beyond ludicrous. You drive a car borrowed from another dealer so you can con yet another one into a test drive. He doesn't fall for it so you will try to get him fired? Exactly what kind of imbecile would do that. Never mind, questioned and answered.

In short, do not put out what you do not want in return.

Bryan H

11-25-2001, 02:36 AM

right to to a certain extent. but the fact still remains if i were to to go back to the same dealership and ask to drive a car of which they have say 10 of them on the lot. i seriously doubt they would turn me down.

who's to say i don't have the money to buy the car outright. it was the principle of treating someone with respect, he showed none. thats what got me.

being in sales "most" people who are the top sellers seem to treat people with respect and to the extent that can buy it outright. then again i always trying to be "pushed" into signing papers on this car which was not my initial intention. but i do intend on buying the car i went to test drive. will i buy it from them. not a chance. will i buy it from someone who showed respect and common decencey? yes.

thats what my post initially boiled down too. and my previous actions should not have gone to me being stupid.

Of course there is gonna be some controversy here... it's not the Celica owners job to like 4 door Nissans. ANyway... my favorite thing about my gts is the double-wishbone rear suspention. These roads are fast and sometimes rough. I will never own a beam-axle car again. My '97 Maxima rode rough and harsh when pushed in the bumps. If you are thinking about an SE-R try this: put YOURSELF in the back seat and have a buddy find a crappy road and drive hard through some curves. Make sure there are 3 or4 people in the car. Now you will know why the Celica's suspention is so much better. Honda and Acura dropped the wishbones for one reason only... too complex and expensive to build. Nissan isn't even going there, thinking they can fool us. Some of us, they can. The SE-R spec V will be a good commuter car for smooth city roads, in both it's motor and suspention specification.

I raced one a bit earlier coming from work. At first i really didn't pay much attention. But i noticed that the black sentra looked a little bit different. He was tailing me for a bit till he pulled right next by me. I really didn't think much of it. Till i see him launch really quick. I shifted to second and caught up. It had an R badge and a spec V on the side. We stopped at the light and i revved to 5 grand. Green hit and i pulled away about a car length. But i was pretty suprised that he was still near my rear bumper. Usually a hooked up SI or GSR would be 2 car lengths behind, but he kept right on my ass.... he even looked like he was gonna pull on third gear. So another kill i thought... so as i was entering the expressway. He pulled right besides me. I shifted to 4th and pulled about a 1/2 a car length. I was pretty surprised... I'd usually be gone by then... even on the turns... he kept up.. till i exited my spot.. gave him a thumbs up for his resillience... well i think this car will actually be a good competitor what do u guys thing?

Considering you have Mods and the sentra has no mods available for it yet. I say it'll be pretty damn good when the exhaust and intake is opened up.

I'm not sure on the 0-60's of these cars. But If you let them all go one at a time the one with the lower skid pad numbers would win. If all 3 took off on a road that went from 3 lanes to 1, like most curvy mountain roads have, whoever had the faster 0-60 will win because what are the chances the other 2 behind will pass the leader on some curves without taking the other person out? Ever watch rally racing?

I ran my friend's brand new Spec V the a few weeks back in my Si. We both have good shifting skills.

We ran more than a few times and basically to make a long story short I'd pull on him in third gear and fourth gear, and by the time he hits a 100mph I'd have two cars on him.

They hang really good in the first two gears, but after that my top end owns them.

Keep in mind my car has ran 14.67 in the quartermile with only bolton mods and full interior. The Spec V is a legit low 15 sec car in my book. Pretty quick.

i don't doubt the ITR beating both. i've heard before the Spec V should handle better than the stock GT-S on a circuit (and here i don't think the GT-S belongs. Spec V, Type R...aren't same class of car as the GT-S....that would be GSR/Type S, SE-R)

as for the maxima. you gotta be kidding. i've driven a 2k max SE a few times cuz my friend's dad has one, and that thing has body roll like CRAZY. i also own a gts auto, so i doubt that's making you think it's slower around corners. maybe it's just me, then. i don't feel confident at all taking corners with the maxima. at least not on the street. i'd be more likely to want to approach or exceed the limit on a track or autox course.

i know said friend can "drive" fine (or control his car fine and know what it's doing), but whenever he chases me around this street we take to get to the highway, a few times he's almost lost control trying to stay on my tail. there's a swooping right, downhill corner that turns straight, then into a sharp sudden right. before this is just general back and forth wavyness. i can pretty much rocket around that swooping downhill right hander at 75-80mph without approaching the limit on my car and feeling completely confident. if i was pushing it and wasn't worried about lanes (i did this once or twice really late at night), add a whole bunch onto that. first time he tried he understeered and told me he thought the car was gonna take off. if he slammed his brakes like a novice would've, he probably would've lost control. he can't power through that sudden right at the end either, it's nothing insane, but it's possible to do it at a very high speed and you have to remain in your lane (it IS a two way road). he has to let off the gas, or if he does power through, it's at a lower speed. he drove my car once and i drove his car. he got me by roughly 2-3 seconds. when we drive our own car, it's a 4-5 second gap. maybe 2-4 if it's green at the end and he comes screaming through that light and doesn't slow down. he can keep up better on the more sharper, less fast turns. although i'm easily still pulling away.

NOTE: all i hear behind me on a few of the turns is tires squealing like crazy. i sometimes get maybe a protesting squeal or two. i rarely drive my car that hard (i never find the opportunity to do that safely) or found the need to push it that much to hold anyone off. maybe at least that can be explained by me having better tires.

now if he drove like a maniac with that maxima, and pushed it to the limit, would it be fast? hell yeah. all that car really needs is a few sway bars and to be lowered to inspire almost the kind of confidence the GT-S does in the average driver. but if you did the same in the GT-S...

Dude are you sure? My boy has a 99 Max. and i remember reading reviews that the Maxima had the LEAST body roll of almost ANY car on the market. My Galant is squishy compared to his Max. Hell he had a talon TSi AWD before that and that has more body roll than his Max.

After a few months he install Ground Control Coilovers with Koni Adjustable shocks and that makes body roll non-existent, literally. We went runnin through his neighborhood toppin 80mph around turns and it would just stick to the pavement.

Ofcourse my bros 2k Celi GT-S is pretty damn stiff too, so that makes other cars feel really plush riding.

i use to have a celica gt...and i traded it in for my spec v....the thing hauls major ass....as of right now i have an AEM cai and a catback exhaust....it did the quarter in 15.001....and the gtech gave me a 0-60 of 6.7....the thing about this car is that the huge size of the engine...2.5l gives it alot of tuning potential....its the muscle car of the imports...well i have run against a gts...and i won his front was at my door he also had i/e....these cars are pretty evenly matched

its a drivers race...i raced one from a light and it jumped off the line, but then i started pulling and pulling and then eventually won by a car and half. If i woulda launched better, then prolly 2 - 2.5 cars. Pretty even cars!

One of my friends has a Spec V and he has a VRS exhaust, AEM CAI, Hotshot Headers.... he broke the 14.8 on the 1/4 mile... Another friend of mine has the 2000 Sentra SE and his car is fully modded with CAI, Headers, Exhaust, Pulleys, Cams, Clutch, and Flywheel.... (I know the mods cuz I helped them install it.....) and he gets 14.6.. pretty fast for a four door huh... I usually race the Spec V head to head with ..he'll catch me off the launch cuz of all that torque... but after 3rd gear.. I usually beat him by at least a half a car length... the SE is usually about a nose... I'm pretty surprised that he was able to do what he did with such a limit to mods that the sr20 engine gets.. but If the SE can get 14.6 with all those mods.. think of what the Vspec can do with flywheel and cams... one fast car... we might have some competition...

Bryan H, I will agree with you maxima in my opinon are decent, they are faster than people think. I am bone stock and I raced my friends bone stock 98 auto, it had 180hp i think. Well it was totally even until the top of 4th he walked and once he hit 5th he was gone. I was more impressed with my car, I thought i was going to get smacked for sure, but if he has a stick and a couple of bolt ons that thing would be decently quick and I have ridden in it tons of times and every time he gets on it. You can tell it has sort of a kick at the higher rpms. Point is I like maximas:) but I guess this reply was a racing story totally off the subject. Sorry

wow he has the hotshot header even though they arent released yet?? how did he manage that?

flywheel will be hard for the QR25de because it uses an external harmonic dampner(thats why we have a dual mass flywheel) to limit the vibrations.
