[edit] Quality remarks for the 2001 redesign

A large proportions of the 2001 Sentra were also still manufactured in Tennesee. The coments regarding the poor quality of goods manufactured in Latin American countires like Mexico were too oppionated. Thanx for understanding. Gerdbrendel 05:32, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Renault Alliance

Nissan now blongs to Renault and thus not anymore be correclty called a Japanese carmaker Gerdbrendel 05:34, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

What is the basis for your statement? Nissan is a separate company from Renault. Renault has a 44% stake in Nissan (see Nissan web site) -- meaning that the majority of Nissan is not owned by Renault. Nissan, like most car companies, belongs to its shareholders collectively. And what does this have to do with Sentra -- it would be more appropriate to make your statements in the Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. article.

I own the 2004 SE-R SpecV, it's a good car. It's essentially a Skyline Jr. (AmericanMuscle 08:23, 14 June 2006 (UTC)) WOW Skyline JR? Is that what you really think your car is? WOW. Just so you dont think im a Nissan Basher, I have a 91 SE-R.

[edit] Pictures

This article could use some pictures of earlier Sentras, not just those from 2000+, if anyone has some. -Big Smooth 20:49, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

On a side note, in the sidebar, the picture for the Sentra SE-R Spec-V is a 2008 model, but the specs below state production years 2002–2006. The 2007/8+ Sentras look significantly different from the B15(2000-2006) Sentras Could we get the pic/production years to match up please? Araemo, --12.168.67.36 21:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

Should this be merged with Nissan_Sunny? It is a little confusing that this article starts off with the B13.

No. I like it that way. There's to much on the Nissan Sentra page, anyways. Bull-Doser 19:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1995 Sentra As A Compact Car?

The wheelbase became 99.8 inches for the 1995-99 Sentra, and the 2000-06 Sentra wheelbase remained unchanged.

Bull-Doser 19:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I looked up on the 1996 cars on the EPA site, and the Sentra was still a subcompact. Bull-Doser 19:23, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] B12 Engines

GA14S in 1989 B12.
GA14S in 1989 B12.

"...In 1988, all Sentras had the 70 hp E16(i)... From 1989 to 1990, the only engine choice was the 90 hp GA16i..." - there were more choices than that. I owned a 1989 B12 with a GA14S. I've seen B12s with E15 as well. RB30DE 23:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sure it is not the RE4FO4A for the 2.5?

"The 2000-2006 2.0L and 1.8L automatic use the RE4F03B transmission. The 2.5L 2.5S, SE-R automatics use the RE4F03A transmission"

I believe it is the RE4FO4A for the QR25DE engine line. The RE4F03 line is A/B and V/W with A/V being TV cable transmissions and the B/W bring electronic. Also A/V is older than B/W so I would not think that Nissan would step backward. I believe that the proper transmission is the RE4F04 line.

[edit] B15 (2000-2006) transmission info incorrect?

Under the B15 lineup for the Sentra, it says that it only comes in 5-sp manual, 6-sp manual, or 4-sp automatic. Is this correct? Because my dad owns a 2004 Sentra 1.8 S and I've counted about 6 gears on an automatic. Am I wrong?
