    03 Sentra SE-R and 85 Camaro IROC-Z

    I have 2 other cars which are a 03 Sentra SE-R and a IROC-Z. The SE-R is my daily driver and the Z is my project car. I've owned the Z for about 6 years now and still don't have it on the road grrrrr.

    The Protege 5 is my partners car whose really doesn't have any interest in forums for his car.

    This is kinda off-topic, but I saw an older Iroc-Z and a C5 racing down the highway yesterday, the Iroc sure was loud, but it had no chance, hehehe...

    So have you driven the Pro 5 at all? Do you like it more/less than your SE-R? The SE-R has a nice engine, but I wasn't too impressed with the suspension (at least compared to Proteges).

    Have anything done to your Iroc?

      The P5's suspension is tighter then the SE-Rs. I really like the P5 better then the SE-R. The Sentra's interior is cheap looking and feeling while the P5's is good looking and has texture. I do like the power in the SE-R. The SE-R is going to be getting Nismo catback and cai.

      As for the IROCZ all I have done to it is swap trannies. I'm planning to install a cam, Dynomax cat-back, cai, pullies, intake runners, chip, air foil, and Hotokis springs, bilstien shocks/struts, stressbar, and many other things. I also have to get it painted. Its a rustfree car with 99k on it.

        Ahhh yes, nothing quite like larger displacement vehicles when simple mods yield very nice gains.

        What type of power do the Iroc's make stock? Is it the LT1 or and earlier verson of the engine? Wasn't there 305s in the 80s instead of the 350? I can't keep track of all the different small blocks, but I love them all. Nothing like torque, and a V8 snarl!

          Stock the IROCZ had 215 in 85 and it dropped down to 190 in the Z28 model. The 85 IROC was the first year Chevy installed TPI on the Camaro was only available with an auto and the IROCZ package. Chevy used 305s from 82-92 but the 350 replaced the 305 in the Z28 and IROC models. The was an option on RS models with a 5spd from 88 to 92. In 93 the LT1 was available in the Z28 upto 97 which it was replaced with the LS1 from the Corvette.

            Yep. I do love those V8 noises. Especially a good healthy SBC. Had a 78 Nova for a while, 350, TH350 w/B&M shift kit, Edelbrock intake, Holley 4bbl, Flowmaster exhaust. 14MPG on the highway, but it was worth it.
            Mikeyb, waht did you swap the tranny to/from? Those came with a TH700r4, right?

              The 700R4 that was in it was bad so I just swap in another 700r4 for now.

                  Is he on any of the Nissan forums? Only if I could swap the interior out and install a MSP interior then the car would be better. I wanted to buy a MSP but there wasn't any available when I purchased the SE-R. And I also wanted a sunroof.
