Here she is, my beautiful 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V in molten silver!!! I bought the car used on Valentine's Day 2005 with 19,500 miles, but I have been a huge fan of the car since they were first released. Almost immediately after getting the car I started modding it, and my mods list follows below. I am currently sponsored by Racing Solution .

Since October 2007 I have had a turbo kit installed, and are currently running 10psi with alcohol injection. Unfortunately the stock clutch could not handle boost whatsoever, and gave up after the first weekend at the track. After an install of aftermarket flywheel and clutch, an unfortunate series of events once again unfolded during my first day of the '08 track season, and the flywheel flew off at 100mph during a run. The transmission made it out fine, but the same could not be said for the crank.

 

 

That led into the 07 crank swapped project "HQR" which I ran from April '08 until October '08.

Not satsified with running an '07 crank and power levels, I am now fully building the engine, sleeving the block, and going back to running a B15 crank in the engine, and still revving to 7000+ rpm.  The waiting to be installed list is at the bottom of this page.  Currently I am awaiting the retun of the block from the machine shop, where the sleeves are getting installed.

 

If you like what you see, make sure to nominate me for Showoff o f the Week! Thanks in advance for all of your comments and nominations! :)
