I have never been interested in sentras till I drove my Spec V...

I'm interested in knowing what mods are possible for this car and where should I start...


also...I know there is a program you can run on a lap top and you can buy a chip for your ecu on DSMs to be able to fine tune your ECU....do they make such a thing for sentras?

no ECU for the sentra yet, basically your mods can be as follows... intake(AEM,Hotshot,Injen,K&N(my personal recommendation), Nismo) header (hotshot(my recommendation), AEBS, Stillen, OBX,Nismo) exhaust(greddy, stromung, nismo,Apexi, Vibrant... it goes on) underdrive pulley (Unorthadox Racing) short shifter (TWM, B&M, Mossy/Nismo) Air/Fuel Electronics (Apexi, someonelse but i forgot who) I mean it goes on but you get the idea, all your bolt on needs... Nitrous, then you got your Turbo (FI-R, PTI are the favored) thats ur basic ****

OK....first thing is BEWARE of asking questions before using the search button. So many topics have been discussed and people on this forum will tear you up if you ask questions like this that have been asked billions of times before. Trust me on that. But the basic mods that most people do is a header (usually hotshot header), a CAI (AEM, Hotshot, Injen), exhaust (most people on here will attest by stromung, but greddy makes one, as well as VRS, and some others as well), short shifters (made by either nismo, or TMW I believe), the only computer control module they make for our cars are the universal ones like Apexi SAFC II and Greddy E-Manage and things like that. DO NOT BUY ECU CHIPS OFF EBAY WHATEVER YOU DO! It will mess up your car guaranteed. There is also a balance shaft removal kit from Jim Wolf Technologies (JWT), Unorthodox Pullies, camshafts from JWT I think , nitrous wet kits, turbo's by either Powertech Imports or Travis on this website, koni adjustable shocks, JIC coilovers, TEIN Coilovers, TEIN, Eibach, Progress, Tanabe, and other lower springs, body kits, rims, tires, sway bars (nismo or eibach), and the list goes on. There are a fair amount of veterans on this website to help you out including Travis and Stephen (Niceguy) which are probably the two best gearheads on this site that I can think of. The best websites to buy from are Jamie from powertechimports.com and andy at hpautoworks.com as well as ptuning.com and southwestautoparts.com and blah blah blah. I'm done for tonight. If you have any questions, you can PM me or hit me up on AIM at berber5985. Welcome to the forum and I hope some of that helps you out a little. There is much to be learned young one. Enjoy the search button because you should be spending a lot of time there. Be careful being a newbie and good luck!

Searching can be frustrating, but don't give up on it just yet. Think of this board as one really long never ending conversation, and those that have been here longer than you have the potential to get irritated because something gets asked over and over.

Hey, we all don't have a lot of time. Try and make friends with the search page, once you get to know it you'll be using it more often. Use multiple search strings with AND, you could even use OR and NOT if you're feeling particularly savvy. Thinking of the right keywords can also make the difference.

The search page currently has a pretty negative association, mostly because results are "unclean" or you don't find exactly what you're looking for. Disgruntled older members simply yelling "SEARCH" doesn't help matters either. Think of search as a key to an oracle of b15 tuning knowledge, once you know how to use the key you'll find your answers and more. If you look hard enough, you can even find posts by known tuners, like Mike Kojima, Dave Coleman and Sarah Forst. It's out there...you just have to find it.

It sucks not to have time for research, but there's so many things that you are missing just by doing a simple search. It is quicker that we just hand out the exact information you need, but we have talked about it over and over again! Search for "stock internals" "stock internals QR25" "stock internals spec v", stuff like that. Good luck and welcome to the boards, btw!
