i might be selling my 92 sentra se-r race car, IT HAS ALOT OF GOOD PARTS IS VERY COMPETITVE, AND ALMOST READY TO RUN. I had it out at the mid ohio event and lost compresiion in one cylinder. I have a spair shhort block and a gooood head waiting to go in the head and block are all new with some upgraded parts, The car made 138 whp and 129 ft lbs of torque and had about 5 left in it with some more tuning and time. The motor was alittle tired though, the new motor and head should pull another 10-15 easily the car weights in at 2550 with driver. I have alot of spairs. It has its SCCA and NASA log books. Swap the motor and go. It has some dents on driver door but i have a nice replacement, and the left rear quarter panel is in need of repair, It doesnt look that bad though. A repaint over the winter would do it well. It has a nice cage, seat, msd ignition/coil and ngk wires,jwt ecu, intake header , custom exhaust, panasport rims, and a set of 15 rains, nx2000 front brakes, optima battery, strut tower bars , polyurethane evereything ground control adjustable shocks and coilovers, brake ducting and alot more a ready to go car ( except motor. It could alittle fixes hear and there but nothing serious. Only thing it will be missing is the transponder. I might have got a ride in an A/S A/I car with room to move to world challenge so i wont be racing it anymore. The car will be for sale for $4999 with all the spairs I will consider partial or full trades and ffinance the right person with enough down and collateral. This car will be a front runner in the se-r cup it qualified within .3 tenths of a second of john lindsey on rain tires (dry pavemnet) with new brakes that were still getting worn in. i have alot of pics, but only if your serious, have the means to come get it, pay for it and all otherwise dont ask just to look at them.
IT IS FOR SALE FOR SURE, I can sell it in numerous ways from a complete car with all kinds of spairs to a rolling chassis to a shell, Ive looked around at other cars to see price rage and it looks liek a $3900 dollar car .

Car was built by Bob Sharp Nissan in ct one of the original Nissan race teams very big and they know what there doing
Engine in car has 80 psi compression in one cyclinder I have a spair long block all freshened up ready to go with new pistons rings and bearings seals. ready to install
The car has alot of other features and some that remain racing secrets
Overall a great car with lots of fun left
It has about 3500 in just parts if i were to part it out so its well worth the money, i can help deliver the car and possible could trade or finance the car for the right deal.
yes it was on ebay, sold by bob sharp nissan I bought it from them Its very well built I have over 8 k in receipts that they put in, plus another 2k from me, I saw the old post about the car and Id have to say if you think monkeys built this car, then man can a monkey build a car, BOB SHARP is one of the original NIssan racing teams, they are who started the datsun and nissan racing craze showed people how to make a 240 and 280 run 10's you obviously no nothing about the car or the people who built it if your attempting to say bad things about it. Its competitive as can be it ran 2 seconds of course record at sebring, 4 seconds off at mid ohio, and 5 of at road america, considering those are all set by cars with 50 more whp thats pretty good, , and geo if your building a 944 for ITS speaking from a person who runs ITS you better just pack it up right now and pick another car because there one of the slowest cars out there. A 944 tech from the factory only got one to run mid pack, I can beat a 944 anyday matter of fact I beat one with bad brakes and a rear tire going down at road america. So please dont test me with your thoughts as you have never seen driven or know anything about this car. Because It is a great car, oush me alittle more and ill put it back toghether and come to houston just to show you. Not to mention the se-r cup. Ill gaurentee anyone who buys it if there a half decent driver to be able to be top three In any se-r cup race ( provided there actually is more then 3 cars that show up) and not only that but If you get beat by more then a second a lap Ill come help you fix it ( or fix your driving) to get it back. The car has the potential and the design, Its well sorted, (that means the bugs are worked out, ) for all you people who are building one, getting your car sorted will take you a year. So if you want a good car almost ready to go and be competitve this is the car, But I dont apreciate anyone attempts to call this car anything but what it is , and thats a great car. On ebay it was owned by BOB Sharp he did what i think was a dumb thing and let a salesman drive it, I spent 3 weeks repairing his rig jobs and things that only a used car saleman would do. Its right its ready to go , It WILL WIN
ive sent some to a few people how do i post them ? Im gonna make a web page in a few days but Ill probbaly just put it on ebay first. ( and yes the whole Sharp family is a legend scott sharp was a big indy racer, one other brother was a circle track champ, they know what there doing) In fact if you look on the bottom of the car they tagged it and it says property of BOB SHARP RACING
1. You said you've reworked some things. Great! Because the car as it sat in the eBay auction was a mess and IIRC had at least a couple of things that were illegal.
2. Bob Sharp Nissan has not been owned by Bob Sharp for some time now as I understand it.
3. I won't take the bait on the 944 trash talking. I'm not here for that.

Not to insult 944's but a well prepped cup car is faster than one, at least in our area. I dunno about IT SE-R's though and I don't know about 944's in other regions.
dont doubt me lol, i have a f 350 and a 32 ft goosneck I can take it anywhere, and BOB SHARP nissan is still owned by him he was there when i bought the car, and there is nothing illegal about the car, It passed its annual tech easy, it had some things that needed to be changed before the tech and i did them,( pretty much used car salesman wiring jobs, and a new set of belts and a headrest post wasnt wide enough) It passed NASA tech no problem also. and that was 2 weekends ago. and as for the bait, you started it so finish your 944 and let me know where your running I will be there. I run almost 30 races a year , in the winter months I race all over the south, road america, sebring, daytona, texas isnt that much further..

That's because 944 Cup doesn't allow much at all in the way of mods (nothing internally) and the weight is still relatively high. Relatively speaking SE-R Cup is much more wide open. Then there is the fact that none of the 944 Cup guys have gone all out such as using a Jon Milledge built engine.
Also, 944 Cup limits the suspension mods as well. The torsion bars I've got for my car are not even legal in 944 Cup (too large). They don't even allow the factory wheels I'm running (Fuchs) because they cost about 2-4x as much and are lighter.

well were not talkign about a 944 in 944 cup, thats like saying my nissan can win in se-r cup, ( not as big of deal since im only racing a similiar car) your build it for ITS and we all have same rules, and cant do much to the cars. 944 are just slow. maybe they will bump them down to ITA. Im faster then a porsche all day and they bumped me down. So maybe they will spair you the enormous amounts of defeat and knock it down too ( or atleast you wont get beat so bad )
CAR WILL BE ON EBAY NEXT WEEK. SAVE YOUR PENNIES ITS GONNA GO TO A NEW HOME, MY NEW CAR IS ALREADY ON THE WAY
I don't know this specific car at all, so I cannot comment on its details. However, Bob Sharp sold his dealership to Bruce Bennett in the late-80s along with the dealership name, but as part of the deal they could not use "Bob Sharp" in conjunction with any racing of any kind. It was theretofore known as Motors Group Nissan.
How do I know this? Because our Showroom Stock B car was sponsored by Bruce Bennett and Motors Group Nissan in 1992-93 and we were FORBIDDEN to use "Bob Sharp" anywhere on the car. In fact, Bruce wouldn't even let us to use number "33" on the car (Sharp's old number).
At the time, "Bob Sharp Nissan" was a standard Nissan dealership. My guy Matt Kessler and Fastlane Performance did all our prep work; the few times I left the NX at the dealership for some basic work I was unimpressed with the level of detail. There was no "racing" shop there of any shape, form, or fashion; there CERTAINLY was no "race team" for building and prepping race cars. I doubt that the person Bob Sharp had anything to do with this car. Maybe "Bob Sharp" the new-car dealership...
After our 1993 season we went our separate ways, but as I understand it Bruce's son soon showed up in an SE-R (SS? IT?). I lost touch with racing after 1993, only to pick it up again in 1999, and I haven't heard much from them lately (I live and race in CT). Of course, I pretty much don't pay much attention to Nationals...
As for IT-legal horsepower, about 135-140 is all you're going to get; anything more than than is suspect. Onto legalities, NX2000 front brakes, UR crank pulley, short shifter, and 15" rain tires are illegal in IT on an SE-R; if that's what "the race team" was running, I'd be very suspicious of the rest of the car's prep.
As for 944s, I've beaten 'em, and I've gotten tanned by 'em. Depends on the prep...GA
nx2000 brakes arent illegal, you can use any brake provided it was made by nissan or the car was factory equiped with them, the abs calipers are the same as the NX and everyone runs, them, external pullies are unrestricted, your shifter is unrestricted provided it mounts in the same place. and you can run plus 1 in tires, ive seen cars with 16 and 17 that noone says anything about im not sure if you have a current GCR but i do. His son's name is Todd the old owner, this car was built in 92 when it was made. and its stamped right on the bottom BOB SHARP MOTORS . Im sure bob sharp didnt build it himself but it was probably built thru his contacts and people. Doesnt matter its a good car at a good price. Its been in the top 3 a few times and passed tech everytime so. If they never found anything Its not an issue.
