I have a very good condition 91 (B13) Sentra SE-R up for sale. The car has about 116,000 miles on it and has some great and very hard to find upgrades. The interior is in excellent to mint condition. The majority of these generation sentras have rust and/or rot. This car is way above average in that regard and is basically rust free. The car is looks stock inside and out aside from the next generation SE-R wheels. The intake and exhaust are very mild sounding. The handling is really what sets this car apart though. The car would make a great autocross or road course car. The car is already dialed in with great parts, cheap to run, easy to find parts, cheap to insure, and is easy on gas. These cars are a riot to drive and were compared to BMW 2002s when introduced.

In the last week, these were replaced: oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, and high pressure power steering line.

Upgrades to the car:

3" air intake, header, Borla stainless catback exhaust, Fidanza aluminum flywheel, Active Tuning front strut bar and lower control arm brace, b15 sentra alternator, front and rear Progress sway bars, Energy poly suspension and motor mounts, raxles, stainless brake lines, shigspeed/koni coilovers-330F/300R, Ground Control adjustable camber plates, Unorthodox pulleys, GTI-R radiator, NX2000 front brakes, (U13) Altima brake master cylinder, nice CD player with tweeter in the front doors, B14 Sentra 15" wheels with close to new 205/50/15 tires, comes with extra GTI-R steering wheel that needs work.

Cons: the car has plenty of parking dings, the radio is not powering up for some reason and antenna needs to be installed, front passenger fender does not have the gray bottom, AC is all there but needs a charge, and drive belt has started squeaking at start up since temps have dropped.

The shigspeed coilovers are long discontinued and cost $2500 when new. You would be hard pressed to find a sharper handling setup. Modified Magazine did a article comparing the Sport Compact Car project B13 SE-R to newer SE-R's. The SCC project car has more or less the same suspension set up as my car even down to the spring rates. Here is a quote from the article, "That said, Project SE-R's 0.96g is damn impressive. Around the bumpy pad there's no balance, no hint of the oversteer or even comforting neutrality I tried to tune into the car, just loads of grip from the Nitto NT-01s with a bit of understeer at the end. By comparison, the B15s feel completely limp."

Here is a quote about the coilovers:

"They are Koni 8611's in custom housings using GC collars. His rear mounts for B13's do kick serious ass. Really nicely machined rear pillowball mounts that eliminate all play. I didn't have too many questions, since I got to drive a car with them and go for a track ride. Sold me on the spot! The SHigSpeed Suspension consists of shortened externally adjustable Koni Sport Struts (Yellows) front and rear with adjustable rebound and dampening. The rebound can be doubled and the compression can be tripled to go from street cruiser to crack your dental work track ready status. The strut shaft on these Koni's is a stout 22mm vs 18 and 20 mm on our previous setup. For springs Eibach ERS are used with spring rates at 380 front and 300 rear. Most aggressive street SE-Rs run 300 front and 200 rear but we're willing to compromise a little comfort to ensure our suspension is more at home on the track."

World's Strongest Man champion pulls a dozen Nissan Note hatchbacks to set record

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

On December 1, Zydrunas Savickas, a five-time World's Strongest Man champion, pulled 12 Nissan Notes (the equivalent to our Versa Note) weighing 28,530 pounds over 16.4 feet in 32.9 seconds. The feat, performed in Lithuania at the end of the country's Car of the Year test camp, was enough to secure him the Guinness world record for "Most Cars Pulled By One Man."
"Once I got into my stride pulling the 12 Nissan Notes, [it] was fine," Savickas said after the pull. "Obviously, a big thank you to Nissan for helping me set the record and making it all happen."
"We at Nissan like setting records and are always aiming high," said Taina Erkkilä, Communication Director of Nissan Nordic Europe. "Today we are delighted to have been able to help Zydrunas set another world record and see so many people turn out to support him."

Nissan gives us the business on the art of clay modeling

Sat, 06 Apr 2013

The team from The Dashboard recently stopped by the Nissan Technical Center in Japan for a look at what exactly goes into creating a full-scale clay model. While automakers have been using clay bucks for decades, designers and engineers are now combining computer renderings and hand-sculpted clay models to determine how a new vehicle will look in our world. Engineers use specially formulated clay kept warm in an oven to bring the body panels to life. They then coat the clay in a thin plastic film to add body color for the final look.
By the time everything is said and done, workers may have hundreds of hours in the model's creation. So, what happens when the company no longer needs the buck? They get scrapped. Someone comes in and dismantles the whole creation. We presume that action is set to the wailing tears of everyone who had a hand in building the model. Check out the video below for a closer look.

Major automakers post mixed US June sales figures

Mon, Jul 3 2017

General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV posted declines in US new vehicle sales for June on Monday, while major Japanese automakers reported stronger figures. Once again, demand for pickup trucks and crossovers offset a decline in sedan sales. Automakers' shares rose as overall industry sales still came in above Wall Street expectations. The US auto industry is bracing for a downturn after hitting a record 17.55 million new vehicles sold in 2016. Analysts had predicted that overall, US vehicle sales would fall in June for the fourth consecutive month. As the market has shown signs of cooling, automakers have hiked discounts and loosened lending terms. Car shopping website Edmunds said on Monday the average length of a car loan reached an all-time high of 69.3 months in June. "It's financially risky, leaving borrowers exposed to being upside down on their vehicles for a large chunk of their loans," said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' executive director of industry analysis. GM said its sales fell about 5 percent versus June 2016, but that the industry would see stronger sales in the second half of 2017 versus the first half. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." GM shares were up 2.4 percent in morning trading, while Ford rose 3.3 percent and FCA shares jumped 6 percent. "US total sales are moderating due to an industry-wide pullback in daily rental sales, but key US economic fundamentals clearly remain positive," said GM chief economist Mustafa Mohatarem. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." Ford said its sales for June were hit by lower fleet sales to rental agencies, businesses, and government entities, which fell 13.9 percent, while sales to consumers were flat. But it sold a record 406,464 SUVs in the first half of the year, with Explorer sales increasing 23 percent in June. And sales of the F-150 had their strongest June since 2001. On a media call, Ford executives said an initial read of automakers' sales figures indicated a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of around 17 million new vehicles for the month, which would be better than 16.6 million units analysts had predicted. FCA said June sales decreased 7 percent versus the same month a year earlier.
