Very nice, Sean. The torque steer on that thing must be jarring.

My daughter will be taking possession of my MIL's 2013 Sentra this Summer. Less than 20k miles on it, and we just had all the old-lady-damage repaired, so it looks brand new again. Not exactly a SR Turbo, though. Just an under-powered, bread & butter CVT.

That's awesome!! Same basic thing. This one's not a beast in any sense. If anything, the boost just brings it up to Civic level...lol

Civic level can mean something different now if you've heard the news about the type R. Honda just set the new Nürburgring record (front wheel drive record)

One of my good friends just got his son a 2000 Q45 with only 20k km on it for his 16th birthday.... Some old lady had the car for 17 years, only used it to go shopping across from her condo and to run local errands. Serviced it religiously. Kid doesnt even realize what he has...

My daughter is ecstatic, however. Her first car... seems perfect for a junior...all the modern safety features.

Very nice! Keeping it in the Nissan family! Hope the CVT doesn't take a poop like it's known to in the Altimas. Also, what kind of safety features does it have? I noticed that the 2017 Corolla has a pre-collision mitigation system, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, automatic high beam, and automatic cruise control as standard equipment across all trim levels. Impressive, considering the price point!

Wow, 20k on a Q45, still have original tires??? Pretty sweet ride for a 16 yr. old and enough room for a posse.

I hope not. Tire compound on 17 year old tires would be an accident waiting to happen.

Lol, the tires were his first concern. He threw a set of Toyo spectrums on there.

Got rid of the Top Speed Y back and went with some Tanabe's. Sounds awesome paired with the resonated test pipes.

That's what I was getting at, but also amazed at the minimal driving that car's been subjected to.

laughed when i saw this. Totally dosen't look like a container of suspension grease. Hope this fixes the clunking though.

Let us know if this fixes your issue, iCrap... My front sway bar just started clunking again over the past couple of weeks, so I may be doing the same thing as you this weekend.

Looks great, Jfish! I still think Tanabe system has some of the best looking mufflers for our cars!

Info is on the label in the first pic. Can't you read Japanese?










Actually purchased both parts from JapanAuctionParts.com. Unfortunately the Navigation ring was slightly loose, but nothing a single layer of electrical tape prior to pressing it on couldn't fix.

Doesn't that ring cost some absurd amount of money? Like $150 or something? Sure does look good but I can't justify getting one for that price...
