Hey guys...... I just bought a 2002 SE - R Spec V with sport package.......I wanted to hear some of your opinions how do you guyz like the car???? .......and what do you think on the outcome of a race with a 4th gen maxima??? ......haha my buddy has one...I wanna race him.....

 

here is a picture of my car might be a little too big lol

 

i think a 5 speed would take you with no problem. well that also depend on the driver. But the v spec is a nice car. go NISSAN

 

I mean stock for stock.....an SE R has 175 hp and weights 2700 bs a half a thousand pounds lighter. I wanna see the results for myself
........I cant wait to race my buddy.......
NISSAN is the best

 

thats the best way to see

 

i'm sure my auto could take you. last time at No problem raceway a 2002 SE-R 6 speed ran a 16.2 twice while i ran an 15.6 on my 96 GLE

 

If your friend has an auto 4th generation you will beat him.
If he has a 5-speed he will beat you if he knows how to drive, but most likley he will win.

Spec V is a nice car. Good choice.

Your car does around 15.5-15.7 1/4. Which is pretty much the same as an auto 4th generation/5th generation Maxima.
People with just an intake have gotten their spec v down to 15.1 1/4.
Not bad at all.

 

my friend took his spec v to the track with a cai and ran a 15.4 a week after he got his car

 

from a dead stop if you run an auto you should win, if you run a manual you should loose

from a roll an auto or 5 speed should win....

but that's why we race , coulda,shoulda,woulda don't count right?

 

Spec V's only come in manual......so I got a manual......and my friend has an auto.......I am gonna get an intake as well.......I also wanted to ask you guys do intake heat shields help???? and is so where can I get one?

 

Shouldnt you be asking these questions on a Sentra forum??

 

Stock for stock, vs a 5 spd maxima, you will lose. 5spd max is a 14 second car stock, a spec V is not. They are still pretty sharp cars though. And am not sure where you got your weight information, but a 4th gen max is not a 3200 lb car. 5 speed 4th gen is between 2850 and 2950 lbs... I've seen them weighed on track scales.

 

hot car man.. congrats on your purchase and happy modding

 

A buddy of mine picked up a Spec V, I was a big fan at first, but I really hate the transmission. It feels sloppy and just well, it drove me crazy. I love everything else about the car though. Hope you have fun with it, I know he does.

thanx guys!

 

i races a sentra spec v last time, i can take him easily and i drive an auto, but what i heard is it has a good potential on modifying, and i really like the car's interior and overall it's a great car (WAY MUCH BETTER THAN THE NEW SI)!!!!!!

 

yeah it does,.......and the turbo for it only costs around 3000$ i also heard aftermarket parts will be cheap

 

hey how fast is a 99' auto max SE go in a 1/4? does anyone know? thanx

 

and one more thing about the spec-v is that i think the wheels are too big for such a small car especially with the stock setup

 

Like others above have mentioned, you will not be able to take a 5spd 4th Gen, given equal driving skills on both parties involved. However, if you can drive, then you will most likely beat a stock auto Maxima (not smoke, but pull slightly).

 

again, i said if A STOCK AUTO... if he has mods you will lose.. i have the video to prove it... but if your intake VS his stock you might try from a red light

otherwise you will lose.. but agian why do we race? cause not matter what numbers say anything can happen

 

I've only got a K&N panel filter on my 95 Auto.

I ran 15.2

 

isn't there a video of a Maxima running a Spec V on the highway ?

I remember seeing it.

 

Some people have gone as low as 14.8 on stock max's ...... o thi nk those are just factory freaks...other wise most of my friend's maxes run around 15 .3 - 15.9
