NISSANSentra SE-R 2004 - 2006

　　Designed as a sporty sedan, the Sentra SE-R was a proper sleeper vehicle that offered room for four and three-digits-speeds.

　　While the Sentra was still a simple sedan, the mad engineers from Nissan's sports department decided to use the same platform and create a quick vehicle. They also left some room for improvement and built a four-door sedan that was an excellent tuning platform.

　　Compared to the 2002 model-year, the 04 SE-R lost its GT-R-inspired front grille and adopted a more subtle front fascia, with the Nissan's badge placed on a wide vertical slat in the middle of the grille. The carmaker offered two versions for the SE-R, the standard and the Spec-V. The latter sported 17" alloys. At the back, a wing-spoiler made the version less unnoticed than the rest of the Sentra range.

　　Inside, both versions featured a leather-wrapped steering wheel, titanium-colored plastic trims, and titanium-colored gauges with orange lettering. The carmaker installed high bolstered bucket-seats with good side support for the front occupants for the Spec-V model. In the rear, both vehicles offered adequate room for two passengers.

　　Under the hood, Nissan dropped a 2.5-liter inline-four fed through a variable camshaft timing system that allowed faster exhaust and less loss. Thus, the mid-range torque was better while the peak power was on the last part of the tachometer. The six-speed manual for the Spec-V allowed the car to get an under seven-second time for a zero to 60 (0-97 kph) run, while its top speed was limited to 110 mph (177 kph).
