The rear hubs were not so simple. The stock rear hub material is thin in areas where there is no stud so we could not redrill the stock hub. Instead we used hubs from a 1995-1999 Maxima.
These hubs have a larger bearing so Technosquare had to make some adaptor sleeves on a lathe to fit over the stock axle stubs. Using the sleeves, installing the beefier hubs is a simple bolt on matter. Next we pressed out the short stock Maxima studs and pressed in the longer racing ARP studs.
Now we can have quite a choice of different high quality wheels in the proper size as well as have a more sturdy connection between the wheel and hub. We chose the lightweight and strong Volk TE37 from an RSX Type S fitment. We will discuss the wheels later.
The Nissan Sentra Spec-V is a pretty decent handling car but the suspension is plagued with problems due to its econobox heritage when the car is pushed to the limit. Since our car is a serious maximum effort to build the fastest track going Sentra ever, we will now have to get into seriously re-engineering the suspension geometry to try to make up for the cars inherent short comings.

Really well done Project, which size of spherical bearing do you use for LCA and Steering linkage?
3/4″
Did this Sentra ever run on track? What happened with this car?
I second the question, what ever happened to this car?
Long gone
Hi Mike…what was the specs for the lower front suspension brace that was made to tie the lower arms
Original Spec V owner here. I still love this car, too bad you kicked it to the curb Mike 🙂 Any chance you might pick up where you left off on the B15 platform?
I have no interest in this car.
I hear ya big guy, much respect to you and thanks for responding Mike!
