Thread: What would you have done differently?

i wouldnt change a thing.

nissan hit the nail right on the head. its a almost perfect lil car for the time period.

stratton.

Thx for confirming stratton. I mean armrest, power windows,.... all that is for the most part is aesthetics, seriously a majority of sers ' I've seen come with sunroofs but more people hate 'em than like 'em. The Sentra ser definitely was a precursor to the ctr, itr,..pretty much any enthusiast minded ff car on the market for the period . Do you really need an armrest whilst autocrossing....(although I have one Lmmfao )

Stiffer chassis. The B13 (non-NX) is one of the weakest chassis Nissan has.

No struts in the front suspension of a FF car.

No sunroof.

Bigger seats for the bigger people.

Bigger brakes.

Bigger wheels with more aggressively sized tires to match.

Stiffer or larger rear sway bar.

The problem is that some of the suggestions (turbo) would have drastically increased the price of the car. So I included ideas that would have not added much to the costs, just changes:

1. Lighten the front doors

2. Get rid of the clock in the gauge cluster

3. Fix the air circulation switch

4. Fit the door fabric on better

5. Bigger diameter cup holders (lol)

6. Better weather stripping around the doors

7. Light inside the glove box

8. Shorter shifter

I treated it the way Shawn B treated it. So, no VE yet. VE goes in the B14 SE-R, duh

I don't even think I would throw a DET in there, for the regular SE-R. The price would be outrageous if that were the case.

I wouldn't change a thing about the seats! Nothing. They are the best econobox seats I have ever sat in. Very durable too. I do like my sunroof, actually so I'm glad that was an option.


I do like the idea of a Nismo SE-R though. Change out the 60/40 split seats and put a triagulated strut bar in. Front strut bar. Manual ONLY. Tune suspension further. Stickier tires. Up the compression and add an exhaust similar to the HKS. More agressive trunk spoiler and front lip. Tack on a $2500 price tag.

Then make the turbo AWD model a rare exclusive to compete with the Galant VR-4 and the likes. Stiffer chassis and a T25.

As far as the power windows, I could careless. I don't even think the power mirrors are neccessary. Analog gauges ftw!

Man, imagine if the car companies just took a poll to see what enthusiasts wanted on these forums.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot this.

Ya, the key is to keep the price low guys. Think about how to market the car. Not just drool over a 300hp turbo monster. This car originally started around $11,000 and nothing for that price could touch it. Thats why it got so much praise.

I know..Nissan should have used a map sensor! ,On all cars not just the ser. Easier to manipulate probably cheaper to produce as well.

jesus, if i only changed one thing, this is what it would be. trying to drive stick with no p/s while drinking an arizona is hell.

A bottle of IBC fits right in there.
Personally, cup holders don't do anything for me. The fewer the better. And fuck anyone who thinks differently.
