I was looking onthe forum and haven't found much about the 04's. Does this one have any problems like the older models? if so please tell me, doesn't matter how small.

I HAVE AN 04 SPEC V. TRUE THE FRONT OF THE CAR DOES NOT LOOK AS GOOD AS THE 02-03 MODEL BUT OVERALL IT'S STILL A GOOD CAR. I'VE HAD MINE FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH NOW AND THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE TRANNY. SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD IS NOT SMOOTH UNLES THE MOTOR IS REVD OVER 4,000 RPM? DONT KNOW WHY BUT IT SHIFTS BETTER THEN. SO FAR NO OTHER PROBLEMS.

My buddy just bought a NISMO SE-R Spec V and hes lovin it. The car has aftermarket parts (cold air, exhaust, header (i think), shift knob, brembos and i can't remember what else) but the aftermarket parts are covered under warranty which is awesome. I dont think it looks as good as my 02' SE-R but it will smoke my a$$. And OH OH OH...those big Brembos....and oh yea, he got it for only 19 brand new.
and o yea, he hasnt had any recalls yet whatsoever. ide imagine that in the third year of the QR25 being in the SE-R that all of the bugs have been worked out of engine, as well as tranny, ecu, pre-cat or anything else. practice makes perfect and im thinking nissan has it.
i have a 04 Nismo Spec V, i have almost 16k on it and i still like it, not any real problems, but the valet switch in the trunk is designed poorly, and the brembo brakes are noisy.
oh and the "nismo package" comes with CAI, cat-back, shift knob, floor mats, licence plate frame and emblems.
its not a fast car, but it is really comfy and nice to drive.
i also have an 04 spec v, sunroof, brembos, and the "nismo" package...overall i'm very happy w/ it, and the while the old front end was more agressive looking, the new one is starting to grow on me...i haven't had any problems shifting at low rpms (still breaking in the car so i've been shifting at 3k or a little less...the only thing was i missed the 5th gate once going onto the fwy...
if your dealer has a Nismo Spec V for sale, don't waste your money on it! I've seen them sell for $24k.........RIPOFF! If you play your cards right, your Spec V should only cost you about 15k, since demand is low, and they're sitting on the lots.

I AGREE 24K IS TOO MUCH, BUT IT TOOK ME DAYS TO FIND A DEALER WITH ONE. WHEN I DID, IT HAD JUST ROLLED OFF THE TRUCK. YOU DONT SEE MANY 04'S AROUND HERE. I GUESS IT BECAUSE OF THE NEW LOOK.
ok dont get mad here, im not attacking you personally but.... you say the Nismo package is a ripoff, i am so sick of hearing people say that. for 1. the nismo parts are under warranty, 2. i think if given the option and if the price was not a factor, i belive many more people would chose the Nismo spec, just sayin who really cares how much the car costs, i say if you like it and can afford it drive it. im not getting my panties in a bunch trying to defend my car, honestly if i wouldnt have bought it as an impulse, i doubt i would have even considered a sentra. really all im trying to get at is, just because you think 24k is alot, some people find that affordable. ( and no i didnt pay 24 for mine)
