Think it would probably say something like, "250km/h in a Sentra" 🙄
Ja I felt KAK after I did it, felt like I hurt the car. Although even when I was off the clock I tapped off and floored it agian the torque is VERY strong even at that speed.

Thats so true!!
@ Gary - Ja I also feel bad after gunning the SX like that, I'm scared i'll break something!
screw that man...
its just a car - it was built to be fast... so gun it. who gives a crap, unless you get caught???
actually - i've got no issues with gunning it, just do it on a track rather than a public road!
otherwise - give it horns. we all bought these cars because they are quicker than normal, and sporty, and RWD, and can drift lekka, and have a drag coefficient of 0.33 or something...
so just do it man! worry later!
VC that is not always the case. My problem is, my car is so strong I really think I am at the limits of the motor now. The stock pistons are only good for "some say 200RwKw" which is where I am now and I would hate to blow the motor for 2mins of fun. Once I get my rebuild done with the proper parts then I will have no problem gunning it at will but right now I am too scared.
So when is the rebuild being done?
So when is the rebuild being done?
Hopefully this year some time.

Hey, I had a few topend runs, i ran with a turbo E46 M3, neck on neck on the n1, i ran with a NA M3 riped it apart, did 7500 in 5th in 1.5km maybe less, that's with 18s, and SR20DET gearbox. I ran a c55 okay that was bad too for the 55. I'm impressed with the sx it goes lovely. I had a few other runs too on the road.

What mods dude, not sure ive seen you b4 on the form so if this is our first encounter, WELCOME!
your machine sounds strong!
Hey sorry if my race tale sounds bullish, but I only had my sx two years and i'm impressed, I just thought i share my experience on the sx forum.
it's s13 SR20DET, forged bottom end. well the head was stock, stock cams, nice turbo, well it goes lekker, busy fitting a set of cams now, so it should go even better.
it's the white s13 with the 18s.
Ahh cos i was thinking if its stock that the other cars drove into something, Thats an impressive list of wounded there! nice! Thats a mean piece of machinery!
