Hey guys, I'm going to be picking up this 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V on Tuesday and I would like to check the infamous intake butterfly screws before I drive back to Lubbock, TX. 

 

So does anyone in Flagstaff have a shop/garage that I could work in for an hour or so on Tuesday midday? 

 

Otherwise I'm working outside... 🙂

 

Thanks,

Peter Scherer

Altima's had a recall about that. Did the SE-R senta? 

 

If it did, you could run the vin through NissanUSA.com and see if that recall had been performed. 

 

GL. 

 

I used to have one of those. I loved it. Traded it in for an 01 Maxima 5 speed.

I'll check with Nissan if they did a repair. I figure eventually I'll either safety wire them with custom fasteners or swap the intake out for the next gen. Just looking to check that they're tight before I drive 600+ miles at 80mph. 

 

This is one of those cars that I didn't know I wanted until I saw it, and the performance potential is pretty impressive!

there is a guy on ratsun that is in Kingman AZ he posts his phone number in the Williams AZ car show thread 

not sure how far away that is but every year he tows a trailer from Kingman to Williams just in case someone breaks down 

his name is Jim he might be able to help or might know someone 

also gene knight is in AZ somewhere 

good luck

Thanks, made it back to TX just fine. Turned out to be in far better shape than I expected.

Clean find.  I have thought about one of those a few times, but nothing up here in the north.

Never seen a white one. Red, silver, black and yellow only. The white looks really good 👍👍👍

        Had a guy I worked with who had a Bronze/Gold one.

Sad thing was that he wasn't a "Car Guy",it was just trans-

portation to him.

Yeah most got consumed by the first few owners who just drove them into the ground. Best I can figure was between 7000-8000 of the 2002-2003 Spec V built, and very few in White or Blue. So it's definitely going to be unique car as the years go by. 

I'll probably start a dedicated build thread here as I go forward. Plan is to keep this one long term as a reliable weekend/road trip car. Sure does love to cruise at 80+!
