Basics: 2002 Nissan Sentra Se-r Spec V Red 6sp with LSD QR25 motor 102k miles Pre-cat recall by Nissan done about 52k miles ago Motor: Nismo cold air intake Clutchmasters stage one clutch New interstate battery everything else is stock Exterior: lowered on skunk2 springs and new nissan struts newer brakes newer tires tints on back windows stand-alone fogs (turns on independent of headlights) old rubber mounts on cross member replaced with washers (less engine movement on acceleration) Clearcoat is bubbling Scratch on trunk Headlights and front bumper a little faded Interior: Stock Car is a reliable DD with no problems. Got 26mpg with mostly city driving and some highway from Buffalo to Grand Island and back. No rust at all. The only issues with the car are cosmetic and its performance is not hindered at all. The motor pulls strong and the car is almost entirely stock. Asking price is $5200. Also interested in the following trades: -Honda Del Sol -Honda Civic -Acura Integra (90-93 preferred) -Mazda Miata -Nissan 240sx (s14 preferred) Trades MUST be clean, 5spd, not built or boosted, few or no problems, and preferably stock. PM for anything. Thanks. ![http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics308.jpg](http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics308.jpg) ![http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics300.jpg](http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics300.jpg) ![http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics306.jpg](http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics306.jpg) ![http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics297.jpg](http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/FinePixCameraPics297.jpg) ![http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/IMG00143.jpg](http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/IMG00143.jpg) ![http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/IMG00145.jpg](http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/thach2010/Spec%20V/IMG00145.jpg) ---

no, I never got around to it. The rebuild by nissan included a new exhaust manifold and valve assembly. Oh, and the trunk button inside the car doesn’t work. I checked the fuse and it’s good, so i’m not sure what the problem is ---

> [@mickdad246](#): > > o so thats what the recall was all about? The motor was rebuilt because the precat clogged in the screens and sucked carbon into the motor frying the piston rings and made the car burn a ton of oil before It was rebuilt. I was also told by the owner that the butterfly valve screws were fixed under recall and loctited. Those are the two major recalls for the spec v’s and both have been fixed on the car. ---

Idk why but nissan oem lug keys are terrible quality and it bent to the point of not working. You should be able to snag one at any local nissan dealer for like 4$ > [@MaximaSE98](#): > > FYI…the butterfly screws were never an offical Nissan recall…most owners just did them themselves yes I shoulda said two major issues with these cars\* the major recalls were the precats and a shittttt ton of sensors throughout the engine bay. ---
