New guy, picking this car up on Sunday

[mixmastermatt]

Hey guys, I'm new to the toyota world, and I've crossed over from the NIssan camp. My current car is in my sig, its a 300whp/283ftlb 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V. I got tired of front wheel drive and all the problems of turbocharging an N/A car, so I will be picking this up on Sunday. Let me know how she looks comparatively.

She has 62k original miles and looks pretty good to me, but I don't know much about these cars. As soon as I get her home, I'm installing an HKS MHG and ARP headstuds. I'll be using the alcohol injection, HKS EVC 4, SAFC-2, Turbosmart BOV, Greddy Oil catch can and LM-1 wideband from my Sentra. I currently have a T3/T4 GT3251R that I was thinking of using, but I can't find any T3 flanged mannifolds. I'll also be replacing the exhaust from the turbo back by the end of the summer.

wow looks real clean

The seats are cracked, but I was expecting it to be in a lot worse shape. I can get covers for now until i get new leather.

Another Ct supra guy

Where are you picking this up from? Ever hit up the pike at all? As far as the turbo is concerned, forget the t3 stuff and get either a nice bolt-on turbo, or go full t4...If you ever need help, hit me up, my friend and i knwo our way around these things pretty well

EDIT-just noticed the Jersey plates as to where youre gettign it from...

 

[SupraDreamPDR]

looks to be in great shape. good find and welcome to the Supra family!

 

[mixmastermatt]

I went to the pike a few times in the sentra, just to pick on all the domestics. They didn't know what to do as i passed them in a sentra. I may head out there this summer in the supra. Yes, the car is coming from jersey, i think from another member here.

Nice car and welcome. You will love the change from fwd to rwd.

 

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

Looks clean to me, you'll never regret going from fwd to rwd.

I know this is a bit off topic, but how'd you get your Sentra to 300hp? Just curious...

 

[supraman7mgte]

DAMN! I LOVE white-package supras!!:love: :love:

Looks nice! Interior could use a bit of sprucing up... It is definitely in great shape, better than about 85% for sale right now.

nice sentra....the supra looks clean as hell...def. a good buy, let us know what happens

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Looks good! Good luck with it.

 

[mixmastermatt]

I just drove the supra home, 7 hrs of pure joy. The car is perfect, so little required as far as body and paint. All i need is seat covers for the interior. :love:

 

[tonysupra]

oh damn, my supra is at victor research right now to put in a MHG and Studs. This is my first time there but they look like a good performance shop. The car looks fresh btw. I'm just beginning to upgrade my supra also.

 

[jdmk3_87t]

omg....that is one heck of clean engine bay! How many miles does it have on it already? The black IC pipes make it look stock, which I think is fawkin awesome! I see rare parts on that supra already. Nicee catch! Welcome to our world!

 

[mixmastermatt]

Victor research is pretty good from what I've seen, with all their 600awhp 1st gen tsi's. John, who runs the dyno there, is an awesome guy. Let me know how much they are charging for the HG replacement, since I don't know if I want to do it myself.

The car has 62,500mi, all original. All of the accesories work flawlessly and the engine runs so quietly. The intake, strut bar and hks pipe are the only modifications so far.

Looks like your gonna have alot of fun with that car there... Supras are real fun to drive...
