Or am I on my own here? I know there’s lots of SE-R/Spec-V guys around. But any 01SE’s? They must be relatively rare (nevermind they were only available for ~1.5 years in Canada I think). I met a Spec V owner at Apex Modified last month during EZCC’s last dyno day and I happened to have my Sentra there and this guy had never laid eyes on an 01SE before… weird. Jason ---

I was looking into getting an SE 2.0 when i was looking for a car, but ended up going with the 240. So how is it on power? Pretty peppy? ---

> [@Nis240](#): > > I was looking into getting an SE 2.0 when i was looking for a car, but ended up going with the 240. So how is it on power? Pretty peppy? Not too shabby actually. Its supposed to be good for 0-60mph in about 7.8sec or so, and that seems about right based on feel. Here’s my dyno run from last month at Apex Modified (rated 145 hp & 136 lb-ft at the crank): I’m going to add an AEM cold-air intake just for shiz & giggles, which I’ll be sure to follow-up with an AFTER dyno run for comparison. I may also add a sway bar kit. My car has the optional “Performance Package” which added a few handling-related upgrades above a normal SE. But a nice sway bar upgrade should help round out an already nice handling FWD daily driver. Jason ---

Come on Jason, why not just do the bluebird sr20det swap and have a nice fast sleeper daily driver. Really easy to do and I even have the sport compact magaizine with basically the step by step process for the installation. If you don’t want to route intercooler piping you can use a U12 bluebird swap that comes with a top mount intercooler. YOu just can’t run more boost than what the wastegate is set at. Dan ---

If I’m not mistaken (and I usually am :D) that’s a b15 chassis, is it not? If so, the suspension bits are the same as the specs, and any of the sway bar kits will fit. I prefer the Nismo stuff myself, but if you don’t care and are on a budget, there is an Eibach Front/Rear Sway kit for about 60% of the price of the two Nismo bits. ---

It is a B15 Sentra chassis, and virtually identical to an '02 SE-R (non-specV) suspension setup. AFAIK the Eibach sway bar kit that lists for the 02-05 Spec-V is compatible will all the B15 Sentra lineup (SE, XE, GXE, SE-R, etc.). But I’ve been pricing it out at a couple places between here and Calgary and so far come up with $439-$460 CDN. That was more than I was expecting (was hoping it’d be \<$300 CDN, guess that was wishful thinking). What does the Nismo set cost? ---

Well, if you walk into Ericksen and try to order them, they’ll cost: Front Sway Bar - $365 Rear Sway Bar - $348 Lower Tie Bar - $232 Strut Tower Tie Bar - $270 - Tax. (OUCH.) There is GB on [www.theVboard.com](http://www.theVboard.com) right now for Nismo parts for b15’s. The prices are in USD shippped: rear sway bar 173.25 front sway bar 173.80 front strut bar 134.75 lower tie bar 118.88 [http://forums.thevboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=62950&start=0](http://forums.thevboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=62950&start=0) In the US, I’ve got the Eibach kit at around 300 USD. Like here, for example: [http://tinyurl.com/977xb](http://tinyurl.com/977xb) To my knowledge, the suspension systems in all b15’s are the same. Not similar, the same. The main difference is in the spring rates and damper settings - the lesser Sentras are tuned very softly whereas the SE-R cars are tuned for much greater handling. (The FSM shows practically identical suspension systems for the various models, perhaps a swaybar here or there may be different.) Anyway, Nissan subjects the Nismo parts to exceptionally high testing tolerances - they turned down Ray’s first design of the Spec V Nismo wheels because they were slightly corroded after a simulated 5 year year-round driving cycle! To me they’re worth the extra money. ---

The main difference is in the spring rates and damper settings - the lesser Sentras are tuned very softly whereas the SE-R cars are tuned for much greater handling. Mine is the middle one on this chart (SE w/ 16" rims, which is the optional Performance Pkg): Like I said, its the same as the SE-R (non-SpecV). 2nd highest spring rates of the group. > Nissan subjects the Nismo parts to exceptionally high testing tolerances - To me they’re worth the extra money. That may certainly be true. But Eibach has always been known for their exceptional quality as well. Here’s what I found on a few varieties of the bars available: > **Nismo front bar is 23 mm. Nismo rear bar is 25 mm, adjustable.** > > Eibach front bar is 25 mm. > Eibach rear bar is 19 mm, adjustable. > > Progress rear bar is 19 mm (0.75"), solid, non-adjustable. > > **Stillen Front Sway bar “28mm” , Hollow, non-adjustable. > Stillen rear bar is 25 mm, hollow, adjustable.** One of the advantages of the Eibach kit over some of the others is its all-inclusive in terms of the various brackets, etc. you need to fit the kit to a non-SpecV car. Whereas the Nismo bars require additional brackets I’d have to buy from Nissan as far as I know. Anyway, I’ve still got time to think about it. I’m not really in a rush at the moment. Jason ---

The Nismo comes with the brackets of which you speak. AFAIK, all Nismo parts come with the required bits to fit them to the car. My RSB does have a hardware pack with it in the box… ---
