A few SR20DE car specs (Sentra SE-R)
Weight: 2450lb This measurement was taken with approx. 3 gallons of
gas, no AC installed, no cruise, no sunroof, spare tire in trunk, F&R Suspension
Techniques swaybars Eibach springs, 195/60VR14s Michelin MXV4s on stock rims on a 92 model
SE-R. This is basically The Mule. Stock Rim Weight: approx. 17lb Variations: From 91-93 the SR20DE engine was unchanged. In 94 Nissan
put in a slightly smaller intake cam in for emissions reasons. In 95 the 200SX SE-R has an
even smaller cam, the ports are also lower better "swirl" to help emissions, and
the intake manifold is inverted which may help bottom end. It seems that Nissan made a
change in clutch feel that started in 93. The 93 models have a lower front air dam and
different tail lights. The side bolsters on the 93-96 models are softer than 91-92. The
dashboard gauges are simpler from 93-94. 93- models have bubble levels in the headlights
for correct aiming. In 1995 on the 200SX there is a solid beam axle, not sure if it is a
real problem for street drivers. In 1994 - Nissan started using fuzzy logic to control
idle and low speed emissions. In 1995 Nissan went to OBD-II in the Sentras, the G20 had it
in 94 I think. Some NX2000s came with the AD22VF brakes if they were made in Japan, even
though they didn't have ABS.

Interior of a typical 92 SE-R with a Momo Monte Carlo wheel (the hub from a
pre 91 Sentra or 240SX should fit) and Momo shift knob. This is The Mule, notice the open
center console for easy access to the ECU. I do so many changes to the ECU to account for
different mods and just in general looking for more power, that it is a major pain in the
butt to keep replacing panels. Also notice that right under the ash tray there is another
cut out, this was a failed run in with one of those Bear Trackers, which supposedly would
detect the Highway Patrol cars. It didn't do squat except screw with my audio equipment
and is useless since the CHP went to a different band for their in car repeaters. I cant
find my lighter anymore after taking it in and out to run the Vericom computer. The little
panel on the left side is where the Consult hooks up. You cant see it, but The Mule has
over 90,000 miles, driven and beaten daily. At this time (11/28/96) The Mule has over
115,000 miles and still is running strong, compression and leak down tests are all within
a few percent of stock! I attribute most of this to using pure synthetics like Redline. I
never did change at 3,000, 4,000 or even 6,000 miles, my oil changes were at 8,000 to
10,000 miles! I was also bad about changing the filter, I would let 6-8,000 miles pass
before changing the filter. Invest in a good synthetic like 5-30wt Redline or 0-30wt
Amsoil, sure it's 6-8 bucks a quart but you don't need to change as often. Mobil1 is
supposed to be good too, but I never used it.
