I don't have an owner's manual for my '91 SE-R and I can't find the sticker on the car that's tells me the tire pressure.
It has stock wheels and tires and all of my driving is just around town errands/commuting. Does anyone know the recommended tire pressure?
Thanks.

The tire sticker on my door says 33fr/29rr and 60psi for the spare.
I think I'm gonna do 32fr/30rr though.
Cheers!
Michael.

32/30 is pretty standard for most passenger cars (including yours).
Driving habits differ though, so If you notice more wear on the outside edges of the tire then adjust the pressure up a few psi. If you notice more wear on the inner tread, then decrease it a few.
Hope that helps.

Hey Yosho,
pardon my ignorance, but what is a Nissan 2000 GSR?

It's a Mexican SE-R.
Mine's a 1993. Interestingly, they didn't change the engine design for the 93's like they did for the ones sold in the US. So it's really the same as a US Spec 1992 SE-R.
It's my project car. The motor has about 110k on it but runs great. The body has some minor damage but the frame is fine (and rust free as you'd expect). One of the CV boots was torn and the axle was going bad so I had it rebuilt ($54.00). It's leaking a lot of power steering fluid but that should be an easy fix. Both rear tires need to be replaced. The suspension is shot and needs to be replaced. The clutch is SUPER hard... so something's going on... but it doesn't slip so it may just be a cheap aftermarket setup. Other than that it's fine. The AC is SUPER cold (colder than my '96).
Paid $500 for the car... what a deal. =)

Oooooh, right! i remember now. The mexican sentra...the one that in mexico peeps didn't wanna buy because it was commonly used as a cab car. Suckers! they're missin out on a great car!
About that clutch, I had the same exact symptoms on my car when i got it. The clutch was so hard to push down that when I stepped on it, i could feel the seatsprings pushing at my back...but the clutch itself didn't slip at all. The pedal feels kinda grainy too, right?
Turned out to be a bad pressure plate. The "fingers" were grooved and the TO bearing was getting caught on it. The clutch cable also ended up stretching too. For a while I only used the clutch for 1st, and shifted completely manually the rest of the time for about 1000 miles. Good luck with that bro! :D

Yep, that's pretty much what it feels like. Hehe, it's hard to drive it for awhile and then to try and drive my 96. The 96 feels like a Honda afterwards. =)
