Nothing but Chevron regular 87 octane in my 2000 SE....never any pinging or performance issues.
#62 of 2040 Vibrations in manual GXE? by aswhite Aug 16, 2000 (9:28 pm)
I have test-driven 2 manual Sentra GXEs. Both had vibrations in the gear-stick such that I felt like I'd been holding a massager after only a short 4-mile test-drive. One dealer told me not to rest my hand on it while I drove. DUH, OK for the numb feeling, but what about what might be actually going on in the transmission or elsewhere and creating this 'feedback'? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Suggestions? (My 92 Saturn SL1 with 139,000 miles NEVER had this vibration "problem.")

I believe what you're feeling is known as "torque kickback." When I test drove an Altima, it was very noticeable. Apparently, it has to do with the transmission being mounted directly on the engine block (or something like that) and it's normal for Nissans.
#64 of 2040 Upgraded tires today by quark99 Aug 17, 2000 (12:38 am)
After much research and consideration, I purchased (4) 215-50-YR16 BF Goodrich KD/W tires from www.tirerack.com for my 2000 SE. The price and service, as always, was unbeatable from the TireRack. Ordered tires at 10:00 AM, got order confirmation at 10:10 AM by e-mail, got the normal "are you sure these are the tires you want" phone call from their customer rep at 11:15AM, and got the shipping confirmation via e-mail at 3:15PM. These tires are shipping from Nevada via UPS and will be on my doorstep by tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning. Total, including $29 shipping: $397. Cost to have the local tire shop mount and balance tires: $45 These KD/W's are fantastic tires that were developed from Goodrich's racing tire, with wet adhesion elements added for use in the rain. NOT a snow tire. (I'd use the KD/W/S tire that just came out for snowy areas of the country.) I'll post my driving experience after using them next week. -quark

I am looking forward to see the results. Could you, please, pay attention not just on handling and performance, but also on noise level and driving comfort. Another question is, are you going to use the same rims? Aren't they too narrow for 215? Your information will be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
#66 of 2040 sunroof problems by tomes2 Aug 17, 2000 (11:32 pm)
I purchased a 2000 Nissan Sentra Se 2 months ago. It has the performance package and a sunroof. I have had problems with the sunroof whistling while I'm driving on the freeway. We don't get much rain in my area so I do not know if the roof leaks, but it does seem wet on the inside below the seal. I took the car to the dealership and was told they checked the seal and it is fine (I have to take it back again so they can do a water check on it). I could buy an extra wind reflector for $100 + labor. Is this something I will have to deal with from now on? The whistle can get louder than my radio! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
#67 of 2040 Sunroof Deflector by jl30 Aug 18, 2000 (1:03 pm)
Tomes2 - Do you have the whistling while the sunroof closed or open? Every sunroof has the whistling sound while it is open. you could reduce the whistling by installing the deflector. $100 + labor is BS. You could get it from www.nissanaccessories.com for $40.80 + shipping and it is a DIY job. You could install it in 30 minutes. I install it in my 99'SE and it's great and reduced the noise significantly.
#68 of 2040 2001 Sentra interior colors by siddiqm Aug 19, 2000 (12:50 am)
I've recently turned in my order for a 2000 sentra se, ice cap/w perf. package. Now the dealer tells me that the factory cannot provide the ice cap color, and also by getting the performance package, I'll not be able to get the sand interior. Apparently the only interior color I can get with the perf package is midnight? Can anyone tell me if this is true? And also, I turned in my order to the dealership mid july, and was told september. Is this really going to take that long? I'd really appreciate some responses! Thanks

Thanks for your info. BTW, do tires still fit nicely under the car, or they pop outside the body? Also, can you still make complete turns left/right without rubber scratching the body?
#70 of 2040 Aacckk! Morons! (lgolden-answers) by quark99 Aug 19, 2000 (3:10 pm)
52 psi in all 4 tires! Stupid, stupid, tire-hangers at the local Big-O! I could've been killed, or worse! OK, now, after reducing tire pressure to 33 front, 30 rear...gone is the harsh impact over bumps and the slight control issues at low speeds...no wonder! The tires look completely normal and do not "bulge" outside of the rims. Lock-to-lock turns do not rub... With the correct pressure, cornering is improved over yesterday's experience, as well. Good luck if you decide to upgrade to these tires, I highly recommend doing it-the car's look, feel, and performance aspects are greatly improved. Also, the new rubber has the same treadwear rating as the OEM stuff-300. -quark
