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."

Ghosn: Low oil prices won't hurt EVs much

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Carlos Ghosn might be the most unflappable automotive CEO around. Despite lower gas prices and signs that these prices do impact green vehicle sales, the CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance was at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this weekend saying that people will continue to buy electric vehicles. "I don't think it is going to be slowing down," he said. "The people who are buying mainly for economic reasons may be deterred from it, but you have plenty of consumers buying EV for other reasons. On top of this, even though the price of oil is unpredictable – nobody has predicted last year that we would be at this level of oil price today and nobody knows where oil price will be next year or two years down the road Â– but what is predictable is that the regulation on emissions is going to get tougher in the various markets where we are present. So, our EV strategy is here not only to face too much dependence on oil or the cost of oil, but also to allow us to meet the very stringent regulations on emissions that are happening and will be happening in the future. So I can bet you that more and more car makers are coming to EVs and they're going to continue to build and sell EVs, even though the price of oil is coming down."

2015 Nissan Altima pricing released, V6 gets MPG bump

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Nissan has announced a range of moderate enhancements for its 2015 Altima sedan, starting with a one-mile-per-gallon increase in the highway fuel economy of the top-tier, 3.5-liter V6 engine. The six-pot now returns 32 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the city.
The 3.5 SV and 3.5 SL, the mid and top-end six-cylinder trims, also get NissanConnect with Navigation, blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning. Prices, though, see a commensurate increase.
The starting price for a base, 2.5-liter four-cylinder Altima has been nudged up by $130, to $22,300, not counting the $810 destination charge. The 2.5 S model is down $130, though, to $22,560. Meanwhile, the top-end four-cylinder models, the SV and SL see their prices increase by $380 and $230, respectively.

Renault and Nissan are among the businesses affected by massive ransomeware attack

Sun, May 14 2017

SINGAPORE/TORONTO, May 14 (Reuters) - Technical staff scrambled on Sunday to patch computers and restore infected ones, amid fears that the ransomware worm that stopped car factories, hospitals, shops and schools could wreak fresh havoc on Monday when employees log back on. Cybersecurity experts said the spread of the virus dubbed WannaCry - "ransomware" which locked up more than 200,000 computers - had slowed, but the respite might only be brief. New versions of the worm are expected, they said, and the extent of the damage from Friday's attack remains unclear. Infected computers appear to largely be out-of-date devices that organizations deemed not worth the price of upgrading or, in some cases, machines involved in manufacturing or hospital functions that proved too difficult to patch without possibly disrupting crucial operations, security experts said. Marin Ivezic, cybersecurity partner at PwC, said that some clients had been "working around the clock since the story broke" to restore systems and install software updates, or patches, or restore systems from backups. Microsoft released patches last month and on Friday to fix a vulnerability that allowed the worm to spread across networks, a rare and powerful feature that caused infections to surge on Friday. Code for exploiting that bug, which is known as "Eternal Blue," was released on the internet in March by a hacking group known as the Shadow Brokers. The group claimed it was stolen from a repository of National Security Agency hacking tools. The agency has not responded to requests for comment. Hong Kong-based Ivezic said that the ransomware was forcing some more "mature" clients affected by the worm to abandon their usual cautious testing of patches "to do unscheduled downtime and urgent patching, which is causing some inconvenience." He declined to identify which clients had been affected. The head of the European Union police agency said on Sunday the cyber assault hit 200,000 victims in at least 150 countries and that number will grow when people return to work on Monday. "The global reach is unprecedented ... and those victims, many of those will be businesses, including large corporations," Europol Director Rob Wainwright told Britain's ITV. "At the moment, we are in the face of an escalating threat. The numbers are going up, I am worried about how the numbers will continue to grow when people go to work and turn (on) their machines on Monday morning." MONDAY MORNING RUSH?
