Additional Information:
The Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V was the sport compact version of the Nissan Sentra. Its engine was the 2.5-liter QR25DE unit originally created for the Nissan Altima. The engine produced 175 hp (130 kW) at 6000 rpm and 180 lb·ft (244 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm. It came standard with a six-speed RS6F51H manual transmission and a helical Torsen limited slip differential.
The car's handling was aided with the factory-tuning of the car's suspension and the addition of low-profile 17-inch wheels. A front strut tower brace, extra-firm springs, revised shock damping, firmer front polyurethane bushings, dual-tip muffler, plus front and rear stabilizer bars were also standard. Standard brakes were vented discs for the front brakes and solid discs at the rear, or optional Brembo brakes for the 2004 to 2006 year models. A four-wheel anti-lock braking system was also optional on non-Brembo models, which was packaged with front-seat side-impact air bags.
This model also came with a standard race-inspired sporty interior, such as Nissan Skyline inspired seats and a thick leather-wrapped steering wheel. Other optional features at the time included a Rockford Fosgate 300-watt nine-speaker audio system (with an 8-inch (200 mm) subwoofer in the trunk), six-disc autochanger, and a power sunroof. Other equipment include sportier-looking headlights with black surrounding the silver reflectors, standard fog-lights, lower-body sill extensions and a rear spoiler.
Initially, for 2002 and 2003, the SE-R Spec V (along with the SE-R) was given an aggressive front fascia (styled after the Skyline GT-R) with side still extensions and rear trunk-mounted spoiler. Originally, speculation arose surrounding the Spec V designation being a play on the GT-R V-Spec Skyline name. This speculation has been proven to be true with the introduction of the R35 GT-R Spec V in North America. The Spec V designation is due to the fact that for some unknown legal reason Nissan cannot use the V-Spec title in the US market.
