Jock the rear disc conversion Fastbrakes big rear brake kit, Progress rear bar and Tein shocks. You can just see some of the custom stainless 3” exhaust. |
For suspension, the Dampers are short bodied Tein SS 16 way adjustable coil over models with 400 in/lb front and 500 in /lb rear springs. The front dampers are held in with Ground Control camber caster plates while the rears are mounted to the body with Shigspeed pillow ball mounts. Shigspeed also provided the adaptors to allow the use of a Stillen billet strut tower brace with the Ground control plate. This combination allows the car to be lowered over 3” while still maintaining plenty of wheel travel. A standard Stillen strut tower brace stiffens the rear of the car. Progress heim jointed 3-way adjustable front and infinitely adjustable rear sway bars are used. To tune the chassis balance. Energy polyurethane bushings take the wheel hop inducing compliance out of the front control arms and the slop out of the steering rack.

Such an overwhelming ride requires lots of traction. BFG KD drys, perhaps the best gripping non R-compound performance tires in 205/45-17 are the everyday rolling stock mounted on feathery Rays Gram Lite wheels in 17×7.5”. For track use 235/45-17 Nitto NT01’s are used.
In the looks department the car sports a Stillen GT aero kit and front Grille, which is probably the best looking aero kit available for the B14 Sentra. However it is not sold through Stillen anymore. You can still get it through Erebuni.com though if you really like it. The interior features Autometer gauges for water temp, oil pressure and boost pressure in addition to a tach. The ICE consists of an Eclipse headunit with a LCD TV screen and parametric EQ. A JL Subwoofer and amp hide in the trunk along with an Optima gel cell battery in a Summit Racing box. We hope Sarah got rid of the neon and Xbox she used to have in the car.

Sarah’s future plans are to improve the aerodynamics of the car with a front splitter and belly pan with a vented carbon hood and a more functional rear wing. This should greatly help high speed stability as the car has a serious estimated 170 mph top speed, a bit more than the Nissan engineers ever anticipated. She will also change the intake manifold and turbo to make more power with a lower boost pressure. In the near future we will return to Sarah’s car so you can have an inside look at how it was built. This car can be a contender in Time Attack Modified class or even at the drags with slicks.
If you are out cruising in eastern Pennsylvania and you see a blue Sentra driven by a tall blonde, don’t mess with her, it’s not her boyfriend’s car and chances are you are not going to win.
