Sounds like me, despite having my ASE Master, Nissan electrical specialist, and being pretty good at what I do, I get no respect from some of the older guys just because I'm young. Up and down exactly describes our shop lately, except for warranty crap and ---- jobs which seem to keep rolling in lately. All the new stuff sucks, especially since they started building it in tennessee. Yeah, the brembos are nice, but damn, 4k added to the sticker for them, that's rediculous. BTW, I may have my hands on a 6speed LSD sentra trans here soon if Nissan doesn't call it back. It doesn't have 6th gear, but shouldn't be hard to fix once parts are available.

wtf...it went form me asking that turbo question to you guys talking about the dealers :P

how 'bout chrysler dealers? anybody are chrysler mechanic here? Warranty jobs sucks in any dealer guys

I agree, from what I've seen, repaired, built, etc.. If I were to build a Nissan it would be a 200SX with an SR20. I don't care much for the QR25 engine, but I do have a good use for an SE-R body. I've been looking at the engine cradles, etc.. and look at this, the sentra comes with the QR25 engine, the altima comes with the QR25 and the VQ35 with no modifications to the mounts that actually weld in the car, so wouldn't a VQ35DE from a Maxima or Altima fit in an SE-R sentra body? I wonder if the back head would clear the strut tower.....

Jesus jared, we even think alike... lmao.. I had 2 on the rack when the SER came out.. VQ35 SER Twin turbo, got torque steer?

damn..i should've went to niisan school instead of chrysler I get to play with NEON's and CARAVAN's if that counts :P

Oh yeah..you wanna see some recalls. Try having cars that suppose to have 3.8L engine and some dufus think its funny to put in 3.2L Don't even know how that got out of the factory and all the inspectors

DOMESTIC QUALITIES YO'

Also, do you know if any other coutry gets a 4wd version of the sentra? I've noticed the front lower dust shields in the Sentras are labeled 2WD, no other model is like that.

The only Qr25 equipped 4wd car is this thing, as far as I know.. Nissans xtrail, offered in Europe.. Maybe they have a 4wd Renault equipped Qr25?

Jared

I'd seen pics of that last time I went to school, but didn't know it had a QR25 in it, I wonder if it got the recall too....

Tigris

I havent takin my spec v in for the recall yet. What should i do to get a new engine....hahahah.........I guess when i take it in for the recall i will get either my 3rd gear replaced or new tranny since my 3rd gear grinds when i shift into it at 5000 or above not below though I already had nissan check it out and they said they would fix it under warranty.

Jared

I'd take it in for the recall asap before you have problems. On the 3rd gear fix, you'll probably get a completely new tranny. Last one I worked on, Nissan told me there were no internal parts available for the 6speed yet, just to replace them as units.
