Akebono Brake pads
VEGGIM
  • Braking:
Rating 4.0

the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.

Pros: improved braking, modified engine
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra

Philips Headlights

The "classic look" option that is least expensive seems to be the Philips H6054LED, which I see available for $120 per side.

Mobil Engine oil
Ar1S3

Rating 4.0

For Nissan I see people tend to prefer Mobil 1 Full synthetic. I don't know what other oil my Sentra was using before but the car runs better on Mobil 1 for me.

Pros: car runs better

Rating 4.0

Bought a '91 XE 5 speed in 1996. Sold in 2000. Took it from about 60K to 150K. Pros: Gas Mileage--High 30s, never saw 40 like some people. 5 speed helped keep it peppy. Anvil like reliability. Replaced alternator and clutch.

Pros: high gas mileage, anvil like reliability
Cons: lousy unsupportive seats, mediocre stereo
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra
Mileage: 96560 km

HITACHI Camshaft position sensor

  • Warning light:
Rating 1.0

I replaced it with a new Hitachi sensor, but I'm still getting the check engine light. I checked the codes again and it's the same. Don't know if using an aftermarket sensor was a bad idea.

Cons: issue persists, check engine light

GPD AC compressor

So, we picked out a GPD brand compressor from CarID.com, it came in, and he replaced it. I picked the car up, and the AC was working great, but I noticed that when the AC is on, the system makes a very loud noise. It's hard to describe, kind of like a loud rumbling / low screeching. It's pretty loud, and it ramps up with engine RPMs, so I can hear it over the engine even at freeway speeds. My mechanic basically told me that compressors that don't cost a lot make noise. I tried to tell him that it gets louder when I drive faster, but he basically dismissed me, saying that it's normal for cheap air compressors to be this loud. I've been looking over plenty of forum posts from people who have used GPD compressors and never complained about the noise, and though I trust my mechanic, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about this. He advised me to just live with the noise as long as the AC still works, but honestly the noise is so loud I'm not sure I can just 'live with it.'

Pros: AC working great
Cons: very loud noise, rumbling/screeching
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra
