Now THIS is a regular car
yup, those rotted out in the rust belt epically...faster than its competition
Now the Renault designed Altima is complete trash
THESE
I read THIS in doug demuro voice
@@pontiacGXPfan Renault designed??
I appreciate how clean this car is. Nice to see an owner who treats their car so well.
90s regular cars are the best
Me too. When I shop used cars, they are never this nice. I had a ‘98 SE and it was fine. I’d like to drive this one to see if it may have been better
hence why I love my 01 Malibu LS.
Lately I've been seeing a lot of Southern cars on UA-cam and it pisses me off on how they can have autos over 25 years old that haven't rusted to shit.... :( Try and find anything early 90's back that ain't a rustbucket in the Snowbelt.
Thank you, I do take great pride in my little car.
Yay, my ride has been immortalized!
You still have this car? It’s a really clean first gen SE
Suddenly 90s Altima SEs have jumped in value...
Do we call that tax Mr. Regular Tax or Harris Hill Tax?
> regular cars tax
> ChrisFix tax
> MCM tax

..... Probably more

That car is clean as hell..
Yea it is
@@RegularCars review a G20 either generation, a G20t if possible.
Definitely . That interior has aged well. Still looks fresh. Seats are borderline bucket seats.
That's what you get when you live in a place that doesn't have snow or salt.
Yeah, but the licence plate has HPV, so you know it's not *that* clean...
"Under the correct track conditions, with the correct driver this 1994 Nissan Altima can keep up with a mid engine supercar." I can walk faster than a supercar under the "correct conditions"
+John C yupppp complete BULLSHIT statement on this guy's part
Well, yeah. Supercars can’t walk.
Yeah I love RCR but that statement was just disingenuous
I think that's what he was trying to say. Lol
If the supercar has the correct driver, this car can kick it's ass
When i look at the front end of this Altima i get the tiniest hint of the r33 skyline
Yeah Nissan liked to do that back then, if you squint a bit when looking at the front end of a 99' pathfinder you can almost see a weird R34.
It reminds me of the 200sx b14 chassis
Looks more like a zenki.
@@drunknmonk12 you can actually put the zenki lip without mods :)
Even the gauges remind me of the R33
This is the definition of a good 90's car. Styling is neither too bland or too extreme. Fun, reliable, simple, and still regular.
8:45 - 9:55 this is why I watch this channel...that was perfect.
I personally find it pretentious
@@MusKubium *shrug* ok
@@MusKubium y tho
Absolutely no f'om doubt !!!
@@MusKubium if you have to ask, then u don't get RCR. it's clearly one of the greatest passages in RCR history.
one of y’all better bless this man with a B15 Sentra SE-R to drive. If he enjoyed the Altima, I can’t wait to see how he’d enjoy a purpose built Sentra.
Hell yeah, I miss the fuck out of my spec v. Cheapest way into a reliable fun car with limited slip and a 6 speed, and so much aftermarket support. They even had optional brembos from the factory
@@fluorine7575 My 2001 Sentra SE has all the bells and whistles. Power moon roof, Rockford Fosgate head unit, fog lights, and low profile Perrellis on 6 spoke aluminum rims.
It has the 2.0 I/4 and revs to the moon. 218,000 miles and still surprising people with it's turn of speed to this day.
I love my Chevelle, but I drive my Nissan...
@@PhaQ2 yesss SEs 2.0s are awesome too, that sr20de makes it a great candidate for a turbo build if you should decide to go that route
A 4th/5th gen Maxima is just as reliable, just as cheap, and much more powerful
@@thestig2583also heavier though, and no limited slip unless you have the se trim w/ 6sp. I had a 5th gen gxe w/ vq30de, it pulled around the same but felt boatish in comparison to the spec v
This is a shockingly clean Altima.
Especially for its age. I never really see a clean altima of any year, but those 90s altimas are trashed
Woah RCR uploading at 9 am instead of 4 am
I accidentally set the release time for PM instead of AM

Precisely at 0:00, you can hear the Craigslist price of every first gen Altima jumping.
i know what i have
Oooooh, my childhood.... my mom drove this exact car then traded it in for a 6spd manual 3.5 v6 2008 she still rips today.
Sedan? Those are quick
@@XenomorphLV426 oh yes, a real sleeper, she rips around in it.
The old reliable nurses, car..college students rejoiced for them!
Exactly! I had the predecessor of this car, a 1990 Stanza, and it was pretty fantastic. (With better square styling, but still almost the same car as this SE.) Torquey 2.4, lots of room, great interior, and firm suspension. It got me through college and into my first job, even though it was a very used car that had a very hard life before I got it. The 90's were great. Nissan used to be the sports oriented Japanese company, now not so much. Now Nissan = boring. Too bad.
Are you paying for likes on all your comments your everywhere
Michael Briggs Maybe I like all the car shows you like. We are all car people after all, no?
The official car of "Just throw it in the front passenger area, I'll clean it _later"_
And someday you just have to clean when the garbage starts to crawl up onto the passenger seat
Holy shit I just cleaned out my 04 Altima passenger seat of two dozen bottles and cans
I feel personally attacked
@@Andernol same
Lol yep
If you find a clean B13 Sentra SE R you're in for a treat, Kutztown.
B13 se-r, b15 spec v, Altima se-r manual would all probably amaze him
I thought I was inhereting an absolute shitbox, and I guess I was.
But that 1994 B13 surprised the shit out of me. Would love to see him review one.
@@FrecklesOpenMic
Yeah the B13 is the official car of car shaped car. But after you own one you start to understand why they built them in mexico all the way till 2017 scratching Lada Niva territory in ideology, price, proof of concept and longevity but also defeating the late in reliability, comfort, availability, economy and performance.
All in all it's a pretty weird car. Got a sedan and got bored of the GA16DE? swap it for a SR16VE in less than two hours with literally two or three wires that need to be reworked all by yourself. Ever wanted a Pulsar GTiR but the rust fairies took them all? Well you can take all the bits and pieces that made it AWD and install them pretty much directly on a B13 (Coupe or otherwise) because they're in the same bloodline and you can put an SR20DET with surprisingly small effort and they were born with stage two weight reduction while keeping enough creature comforts to be a suitable daily that could last you between 1991 and -to be determined-.
@@takafumiarisawa70 I could hear you talk about b13s all day. Good insight!
@@aarg2609 Much obliged eh.
This was my first car - I got it with 193000 miles and drove it till 248000 and sold it for a good amount. It was quick and drove great and didn't need any maintenance besides oil changes and brakes
I owned a 1997 Altima Limited, a GXE with a hint of SE outside and a hint of GLE inside. This was the swansong for that generation of Altima. And he's exactly right...it handled well, and the engine was the perfect balance of horsepower and torque, especially for the car's size.
Can we all appreciate how clean the interior of this 24 y/o (at the time of filming) car is? I hope this Altima is gracing car shows for decades to come.
"Altima can keep up with a Ferrari"
and a yugo can keep up with an F40
In a narrow parking lot, a Yuga probably can - it's much narrower, so you can toss it into the corners without fear of hitting anything. The F40 is a fair bit wider - and much lower, so gotta slow down for all the speed bumps. :-P
Hey, it kept up with a S65 AMG and a Ghost! Although, it was called Mulsanne, must be a performance pack.
Yeah it cant keep up with a moped
A 2CV going 70mph will pass a Ferrari traveling at 60mph
@@TheMurlocTamer J.C. logic!
The key quality this has over a new car is that it is designed for the pleasure of driving instead of posting on social media, making phone calls, using GPS, etc. If there is no screen and it has a manual transmission in a reasonably attractive body it is better than what is available today.

I managed to not find one.
Did you go looking for a ford transit after that top gear episode where that chick nearly beat clarksons jaguar nurburgring time in a transit?
@@da_jeezuss8922 yes i did lol
I had a 98 Altima GXE which had the same engine and it was awesome until the timing chain tensioner shattered to a million pieces and jumped chain. Comfy and worked really well for me. Just didnt have the money to replace the engine in my first year of college.
Here in NZ it is called a Bluebird and it came in an SE or SSS variant. The SSS is the exact same chassis with a transverse SR20DET putting out around about 230WHP from the factory.
Those old Nissans could run forever, it's sad that their quality has gone down since then.

@@jdmjimmyThey own Mitsubishi as well. I could kill for some french toast right now.
@@cpthuggyface2011 yea but they don't know how to make transmissions
@@jdmjimmy They're ok if you get the manual. It might not go 300k miles like a Toyota but they'll last longer if you don't get the CVT.
@@cpthuggyface2011 that's what I mean they make crap cvts , oh wait all cvts from any automaker is trash period
I call this gen Altima "the egg". These were pretty stylish back in the 90's and were EVERYWHERE around where I lived(near the Smyrna TN Nissan plant). Official first car in high school as well, there were 3 or 4 of these in the parking lot. By the late 00's though they were a rare sight on the road, I think a lot of them were wrecked/ragged out by young drivers with no money, this one looks minty fresh.
Having driven a couple of them, I too was blown away with the handling, very tight, direct steering and it cornered flat. Also the build quality was top notch, way better than the garbage Nissan has been putting out since the Renault merger. As for why it didn't sell as well, maybe it was priced wrong, wrong size(it is smaller than a Camry, Buick Regal, Ford Taurus, etc), people said screw it and bought a Maxima instead.
this looks like a bluebird.
I'm an Australian. We didn't get the altima 'til like 2013
It is a Bluebird mate!
Yep, this was a Bluebird in New Zealand, too.
It was the Bluebird over here in the middle east. The Altima sold hereon the other hand were rebadged Nissan Cefiro A31.
@@Bahraini_Carguy in Latin America the US Altima was sold as Bluebird and the Cefiro was sold as the Laurel Altima with a carbureted RB24
Yep, it's a U13 Bluebird in Aus. Replaced the Pintara. The SE Trim was equivalent to the Ti trim, which we only got as Auto.
240sx ECU and wiring harness is a quick upgrade make good power . It lets the car respond better to upgrades and adds tune-ability
Fun fact did you know there’s an all wheel drive light in the dash there is no bulb in it because the US didn’t get all wheel drive and it’s probably stolen from a truck
there was the bluebird sss which was awd and sr powered.
bushdog I know that’s the one I’m talking about
@@MRTuning704 the car i wish I had (or atleast parts of) when I was on the old nissanclub forums.
bushdog you sound just like me xD I had a L32 awd for 4 years it’s was the best car I’ve ever owned you can get half cut pretty cheap and do the swapping and conversion
Now I’m on a s13 and a L32 fwd
@@MRTuning704 awesome man...I put a shit ton of money in my u13...then she ended up going to the big junkyard in the sky.
now building an 06 scion tc boosted and a 99 civic with an eventual b20b low comp boosted for the twisties.
I had a 98 Altima and to this day it's still one of my favorite cars that I've owned.
I had a 200- sentra gxe for five or so years.
Sometimes i miss that qc18de powered sprite. For a ff with only 130hp that little car could go well. Dohc sang and it loved redlining. It had slight oversteer when off power in corners. It made me fall in love with nissans.
I love RCR but to be honest I haven't been enjoying the new "track performance" focus so much. It is kind of fun to see unusual cars on a racetrack but it feels like it's pulling away from that deeper daily driver experience this channel has been so amazing at relaying. So many places do track videos but this is my only fix for Automotive philosophy and brown.
Ruptured Studios agreed I miss the ruminations on the owner mentality and the philosophical discourse as Mr. R drove around with the actual owner and whatnot
Ruptured Studios It’d be one thing if he knew how to even drive on track. These videos are terrible.
What, you don't take a Caprice to the track day bro!?
Agreed. These track videos are shit.
I like it
I worked at a Nissan dealership when these were new. I always liked them. Back then a lot of them were actually standard which doesn’t happen today. Although I do remember they were a little pricey. Well equipped could run over 20k. You could get a Maxima for just a little more. Great review regular guy.
This is so cool! I am sitting in my 1997 Nissan Altima with a 5 speed. I love this car so much more fun than other cars in its class, alot of times its even faster than the competition. My Altima has 243,000 miles and is still plenty reliable especially for $300 which is what I got mine for.
i bought a 95 altima se when i was 18 back in 1998 and I LOVED THAT CAR. it was purple!
I feel like every car maker made better cars in the 90s.
Especially Nissan
People had hope back then
yes sir
The Korean brands were terrible in the 90s, and the American brands were mostly crap with a couple gems. For the Japanese though, this was the era when they grew out of their automotive adolescence and were ready to show the world what they could do as energized college students. Now they're in their late 30s with steady jobs and just trying not to screw things up. They saw what happened when their old buddy Mitsubishi couldn't let those days go and got too drunk at the company holiday party.
Sedan57Chevy they did. They need to get those 90”s engineers out of retirement and have them make cars again. You can kick a hole through these new overpriced machines.
I had a 93 Altima XE when I was in high school, and it was great. Very reliable and fun to drive. And the first manual transmission I owned too.
I loved that zoom transition
We had one of these in Silver growing up, and stayed in the family until somewhere around the 220K mile mark. It was the first new import car I remembered my parents buying. I eventually learned how to drive on it, and our 1986 Buick LeSabre wagon. To this day, this car will always be the go-kart I remember driving, and have insane nostalgia for. It was light, and nimble, and way quicker than I expected or was used to.
I rather have the old Altima over the new ones with the trash CVTs
@@SamsGam3rtag the idea of CVT is great, but the problem is reliability for the old ones. I hope they figure out how to program the transmission right rather than making it feel like traditional automatic transmission
They are just completely faked out autos now - one big money saving exercise. Toyota (in Europe at least) are starting to use a CVT that has a real 1st gear to remove the initial delay in setting off, which then shifts into a stepped CVT thereafter. People clearly favour autos over these things, since Toyota & co have to make them mimic the behaviour of a real auto, but the manufacturers are still adamant on rolling shit in glitter
@@SamsGam3rtag but most new one do. My dad has an older nissan cvt, I don't drive it does what I want it to do - keep revs low, I don't notice shifts too.
@@RickTrajan you don't notice shifts because it's a cvt.... It's not supposed to shift. That's why most people DON'T like them. Feels like I'm driving a 90s Polaris snowmobile. My friend had a 07 mistubishi lancer with that HORRID cvt and an exhaust leak. It was the nastiest sounding car on the planet. Went from silent idle to WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH until you let off. It was terrible, and had the tranny rebuilt twice under warranty, once out of pocket and the thing died at about 300k kilometres. Cvts ruin cars, except for maybe Toyotas new cvt. Just get a damn manual.
@@MarshalBeard fair, I should have said I don't notices constant rev up and down when you just hold the pedal. But that's what new ones are trying to do right? CVT got popular with Nissan but for bad reputation - didn't know Mitsubishi tried CVT as well.
The regular ones are always the best ones. Truly, the best ones.
2.4 liters are bulletproof had one rusted around the motor lol
Oh the exhaust manifold.....always ready to fail
Crazy how clean that Altima is. Always referred to these as the baby Infiniti J30. Note, that double din is from a 98-01 (L30) Altima. And I remember the 93 Altima wore a small "Stanza" badge on the trunk lid to remind us that this was its replacement.
Yeah mr. Regular is right if track conditions were, lets say, snow, and the supercar in question has slick tires, this would certainly beat it
Great video. My best friends parents bought that Altima the year they came out. His dad is a car guy that loves a nimble car. They ended up owning another one before the body got all bloated.
Am I the only one who's glad to see a clean stock original 5 speed example of this car? Rather than some shitty rattlecan job with ziptied fenders a giant ass wing and cut springs?
Your welcome ; )
I drove a 1996 Altima for 16 years. I owned two of them; my first was from 1997-2009, second from 2009-2013. It was arguably the best car I ever had. One thing that's overlooked about this car was that it was an anomaly in the industry. At the time every Japanese car company had a small sedan and a large one. Toyota had the Camry & Corolla, Honda had the Accord & Civic, and Nissan had the Maxima & Sentra. Nissan decided to shake things up by squeezing a new car into their lineup that fell in between those two. It had the amenities and power of a Maxima but the affordability of a Sentra. Its power was also ahead of its time. To have a 4-cylinder putting out 150 horsepower was pretty unheard of at the time. Most 4-bangers back then were floating under 100 hp. It could easily hang with many V6 vehicles of the time. This is what made it a pleasure to drive for so many years. There really was no need for me to upgrade all those years! I would probably still be driving mine today had I not gotten t-boned in an accident in 2010, making the car a rattling mess at stoplights. So in 2013 I upgraded to a 2004 Toyota Solara, which I still own and drive every day.

I had a 95 SE. I did some mods to it like 300 ZX breaks, fuel pump, and injectors. Crower top end, exhaust and I Bach ground control coil overs with KYB struts and upgraded rims and tires. It was around 200 hp at the wheels and handled incredibly. So much so that I developed vertical splits in my front wheel wells. I love and miss that car so much. It is my favorite car of all time believe it or not.
Mr. Regular, look into a b14 200sx SE-R or even SE, the little brother to this!
I got mine in 2002. It was a pearl green Special Edition and it drove really well. It had 212,000miles on it when I sold it.
Having owned an altma se...i respectfully disagree with your inflated opinion of its performance capabilities
It was on that Ferrari
Marcus INfinity Don't believe that. If she raced herself in the Ferrari against her in the Altima.. Who do you think would win.
@@lamarasamuel it would be close. So the Ferrari just narrowly.
@@Sp1n1985 I'd say the ferrari would give it a 6-8 second gap. While I like this car, I can admit, Rcr kinda jerked it off in this video.
There not amazing but they are better than cars in its class. At least I can say about my 97 altima with a 5 speed
I had a 96 Altima SE for 8 years. Great car- no problems whatsoever in the 100K + miles I had it. I miss that thing almost as much as I miss my 89 Mazda B2200 truck.
Need to find an Altima SE R to review
That would be awsome
Try finding one with a 6-speed manual
Ugh yaaaaasssss 6sp and the exhaust on it was great... The dealership near me had one that sounded like a 350z at the time and fuck me, i always wanted it
Loved this car when it came out. A fun, "fast" good handling small sedan. I think it still looks pretty damn good.
These are little gems would love to find one like this. Great regular review B
Love you guys the way the content is presented and the dialogue cracks me up. Down to the shadow running along side the car and the songs at the beginning and end. I totally recognize the melody of the songs..."These Days" is one of my favorites!
6:59 ooh mister fancy pants editing I see you
My mom had a 97 altima gxe with a 5 speed. It was a fun car with tight steering and a crisp but forgiving shifter. In her words she always said "This is the first car I've ever owned that made me forget my 67 mustang." Even in her moderate stage of dementia, she doesn't always recognize I'm her son, but she remembers "I had a classic mustang, and I had a red altima, and I loved them both."
I've always thought white was the only colour for these
It looked less bad in white than in the other options.
Diego Ruiz tbh I don't remember very many other color options. In my neck of the woods they weren't super common. Would've been a unique platform to customize but I don't ever remember there being a lot of aftermarket parts
I only see these in 💩 Brown metallic.
I had a green one. Had 212k miles when I finally got rid of it.
@@vector6977 Same
Sick camera rig. Love the content. Thank you for all the entertainment you have provided.
When you're 10? I am willing to bet that Mr. Regular still thinks he is the stoplight whisperer 😀. I hope you one day are offered a Dodge Shadow ES from the mid-90s with a V6 and standard transmission.
My god yes. K cars are glorious when fitted with either the turbo 2.2/2.5 or that wonderfully built 6G72 joint venture. Mmmm...Special K car.
@@AdinBriggs I like the k car wagon with factory hemi badges. No shit!
I actually know exactly where one is that is still being driven by the original owner. 93 white with black trim and less than 150k miles. Some of the other original owner non molested vehicles I see on my FedEx route is a 91 Honda hatch with almost 100k miles, an 88 jeep comanche chief, a 1972 trans am 455 SD with the Hurst lightning shifter, and an 80s Suzuki samurai sitting on factory wheels and tire size, factory carpet floors, and an unripped original soft top. Theres a lot more. Seems people in small towns hold onto things forever.
I'd want that! Both of my K based cars ('93 LeBaron Convertible and '88 Aries K LE America) were excellent vehicles. Simple, comfortable, reliable, and the Chrysler fours, though sometimes hungry for head gaskets, are durable and a snapped timing belt doesn't matter. I love K cars. I don't care what anyone says. My family had five that I recall.
I have a 94 shadow sedan myself.
My dad had that exact car except tan interior way back when i was getting my driver's license. I drove it from Dallas to Corpus Christi as a family vacation and was so happy when i heard this was gonna be my first car, just to have it stolen in corpus christi and we had to use a bus back to Dallas.
"brah my **insert regular car here** outruns lamoghinis I swear man got a drive gear from a skyline and it makes like 1200hp now"
I had one of these and for a short time my wife had a 1995 concurrently. We both loved them. Was sorry we had to give them up.
The official car of the GHETTOS
This is the car that really saved Nissan in the 90's.
I mostly see overweight white girls drive these.
That would be a Maxima, not the Altima. Niggas need the larger whip to fit the whole crew.
along with the Diamante
@@brandonhightower5666 no not my diamante! Hahaha
After seeing your evisceration of a 2022 model, I HAD to see what you thought of the original.
Funny how you did a nissan review today. I wonder if Carlos Ghosn was driven to court in an Altima...
My dad had one of these of a similar(I think later) vintage with the five speed. It may have been an SE, but I don't know. Of all the cars he's driven for extended periods (which I today included his father's 1978 Subaru GL which was a manual but didn't have a tach), he liked the Altima the best.
Ahh, back before the Frenchies started to hide fancy cheeses in the bodywork.
My dad had one of these like 15 years go....I miss that car
This was my first car, Some trims came with 4 wheel disk brakes as well, this was rare for the segment in 1994.
Mine does! Cherry red :D
I had 2 of these. An auto and a 5 speed. The autos are pretty slow. The 5 speed not much faster but a lot more fun. They really do handle well and they have a tendency to oversteer which is rare for a fwd car. Makes for good fun going fast on around curves and highway onramps.
Yeees, that tendency to oversteer is what won me over its competitors and it's fun to toss into corners aggressively allowing the rear end to help rotate you it into corners. Though I learned the hard way by spinning out a couple of times due to throttle off oversteer, lol. But once you learn its limits you can sort of drift it fairly safely like I was able to do here on the track. Handling is not as refined and crisp as a same year Accord, but the Accord suffers from lots of understeer in the same kind of tight sweepers.
Good morning yall
good morning

Many a miles and memories of Mississippi backroad drives not going anywhere in particular, smoking it out, listening Finnish metal experiencing our first taste of freedom. My best friend got his third hand with all of 150k on the odometer, it drove like it only had 15k.That silver Altima defined our youth after we graduated high school well into our 20’s.
Morning Mr.Regular
This video is actually so timely with what happened with Carlos Ghosn today.... and how I lament what Nissan has become nowadays.
Back then Nissan simply had the magic, the engineering, they had soul. My humble ‘88 PU11 Maxima is a perfect example of that. Yes it’s not the fastest, but it felt like it was. It’s VG30E would scream up to its redline happily and how fantastic that engine sounded! How light and athletic it felt but was still very comfortable and it’s 4 wheel disc brakes even with no ABS would shame other cars that had ABS. Best feeling brakes of any car I’ve driven.... and this car is still around. I still have it.
B13 SE-R. Z32 Twin Turbo. 4DSC Maximas. Not to mention the Skyline GT-R. The R32 GT-R is my dream car, the one that I’d take to the track in a heart beat just to hear the RB26DETT’s siren song all the way to 8000 RPM. I can go on, but I think I’ve made my point.
Now, it’s all low coast, rental grade garbage that people solely buy for price. Failure prone CVT’s, dull soulless cars like the Versa sedan. No SE-R anything. No manual Maxima. The R35 that is not a Skyline that is fast, but just with a push of a button and no driver involvement. A dated Z car that nobody wants. It’s just sad.... Ghosn did save Nissan, no doubt and he did champion the rebirth of the Z car.... but you can’t dispute the severe cost cutting he did to everything and to basically take away everything that was great about Nissan and piss it away into mediocre and failure prone cars that are second rate. It’s a damn shame.
A friend bought a black 94 SE brand spankin new back in the day and I remember that car being THE SHIT. I loved the looks inside and out. I mean in good condition its still a great looking car...well IMO. Now Nissan makes SHIT (not the good kind) cars THANK YOU Renault.
Agreed, the Maxima SE of the same era made me a Nissan fan but after looking at their products at the autoshow is great disappointment with over-styled, cheaply made, rental car products. And they sell millions more than the 90s Nissan's. Consumers, go figure.
I posted this before but in the Middle East from 1989 to 1994, the Nissan Altima that were sold here was a rebadged Nissan Cefiro A31 while the Nissan Altima in the video was sold as the Bluebird SSS. The Cefiro A31 became popular with kids thanks to its Front Engine, rear wheel drive, easily swappable with an RB or JZ in it and that it's really cheap. Some of them are even used for burnout events or car meets over here.
Review a 05-06 Nissan Altima SE R if you can find one.
Yess
Old Nissan Altima SE and Sentra SE-R are cool fun. Even the Nissan Maxima was a powerhouse worthy of challenging the VTEC or V6 Honda Accord
When will u review the Geo metro?
The *original* Prius
Generic Username I was J U S S S S T thinking/yearning for the same!
Like the 850 last week, this is an amazingly well kept example
Perfect body disposal vehicle right next to a 1998 beige Toyota Camry
MultiRokusho The Camry is a better one. You can hide in plain sight with it
@@SkylineFTW97 you don't hide, you just disappear.
Buick?
8:02 I remember that being the same radio that was eventually put in the 1996-2000 Pathfinder, 1997-2001 Infiniti QX4 and 1997-98 Maxima. A version of it included a Bose Audio System with the branding on the Cassette Tape Deck, I used to ride in a 1998 Pathfinder as a kid with its 6-Disc CD Changer.
Ever gonna go back to normal videos not at a track?
OMG.
You got to review one! Yes! I want an SE decklid for my GXE... I love the wing.
I have an 06 Altima SE R, 6 speed. If you guys are ever in the Toronto area you can review it!
Fuck yeah
I LOVE that version
i have this same car, ive had for over 2 years and i have yet to see my exact car. This car has a stupid amount of power for being bone stock!! mine has 232,000+ miles on it and it runs like a champ, its my daily driver!
You Need to drive an old eclipse
Grünkohlaktionär I want a 90s eclipse, they are beautiful cars. I want to get one as my first sports car.
@@ilovemanunited6179 same but it's so hard to find a decent one (best: gsx) for small money in Germany
I have a 90 & 98 GSX and I live in Pittsburgh. He never answered me
ilovemanunited not much of a sports car
I’ve owned two of these, fabulous cars!
"Capable of keeping up with a supercar 20 years in the future."
No. The other driver sucks. That is the reason.
The other driver probably doesn't even suck, they just don't care. Rcr even alluded that it was just some guy having fun.
I love that interior. I wish you could still get cloth seats that are nice. I don't really like the velour pillows of the American barge, but that nineties Japanese cloth is prime seating.
I feel like if the ferrari was pushing it even a little bit there would have been no chance
My mom had one of these when I was 4... man, no one in my family had any idea what she had. I'm even more fond of this thing now.
The SE-R tho...
I had a white 1991 Nissan Maxima SE in highschool. I loved it. In hindsight it was one of the best cars I have ever had. If I could find a clean example I would drive it again.
