My '94 SE-R. R.I.P.

Harris · 12-04-2003, 03:37 PM

Well folks, my car is gone due to a stupid thing I did. Refer to http://www.sr20forum.com/general-sr20/62076-looks-like-my-se-r-toast.html if you want to know what happened. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the car, from the time I bought it to the time it was on its last legs. I will definitely miss this car. If it wasn't for me buying the SE-R, I would never have known anything about cars. I owe a lot to this forum and the general Nissan community for its support and hospitality. Enjoy the pictures.

First mod I ever did was an air filter. That was the first time I actually did any mod whatsoever on a car.

Then came the muffler from Autozone. I got flamed for this muffler, but being that this was my first time working on a car, it brought a huge smile to my face.

Flash forward a year later. Now I have grown out of my rice ways and am starting some actual work on the car. There are still some remnants of rice, but not as bad as it once was (some forum members remember that phase)

Picture from the dyno day (I managed to pull 129 hp and 119 lb-ft tq)

Here is a picture of the last remaining rice on the car. I kinda liked it, so I just left it untouched.

Behold the power of Simple Green! I used it to clean the VC as good as I could, and as you can see, the VC shines bright compared to its surroundings. You can also see that ebay intake pipe I was getting flamed over a while ago. That pipe certainly is one of things that have the best bang for the buck for our cars.

I maybe one of the last few people who actually think a USDM header is worth showing off!

Gotta love the NX brakes. Check out the clearance.

Lastly, here is a picture of the car from back in October, the day after I had gotten the ES inserts installed with the help of NismoPC and shumax.

I have a lot of good memories of the car, but its time I moved on and looked for another car. I will certainly miss this car

. Goodbye, dear SE-R. Your low-port ways were certainly most enlightening....

Its like a mini scrap book. Maybe it was faith, and your next car will be even better.

how did you blow two tires going 20mph? thats impossible

Serban · 12-04-2003, 05:57 PM

Harris, you will get over it. I had my sentra for almost 6 years, and I had a lot more done to it, and a lot more money put into it than yours, and once I got my NX, I quickly got over the Sentra.

Read this,

Also, ask IXLR8se-r if you want more proof. He was in the car with me when this happened.

Thanks Serban. I hope I do get over it. Well, maybe this blue Ohio NX that's riding around in Florida might do the trick...

Serban · 12-04-2003, 07:24 PM

Harris, you must find your own blue nx, stop eyeballing mine.

Rico55 · 12-04-2003, 08:56 PM

Ah, I bought the NX a few days after the Sentra kicked the bucket. So dont think I had a back up car for when the sentra died

just get a silver p11 sr20ve powered g20t with 18s, dropped, tints all the way around, a nice I.C.E. system, and use it as your cruiser

that's what im going to do

evilsr20degg · 12-04-2003, 11:10 PM

Harris · 12-05-2003, 09:59 AM

Thanks serchef, but I am interested in another car right now ('91 SE-R). If I don't get that car, I will contact you.

2xSE-R · 12-05-2003, 01:28 PM

Sorry your old SE-R is officialy done, but now you get to start on another SE-R. That'll be fun.

JDMtyteYO · 12-05-2003, 02:36 PM

Dang Harris, sorry to hear about that, I hope it all works out for you in the long run!
