This dude i know owns one and thinks its da shyte. I dotn get it eighter it really doesnt look that good but he loves to act like its a brand new civic. And he's undefeated in street racing 11-0. he hasnt raced me yet but I know im not gonna lose to a stanza. whats the secret to his car, he's beat 4 civics all moded, 1 200 sx, 1 integra, and others that i forgot but I might have to bust out the del sol and silence him........

maybe he did some shit too it


Hondas arnt everything

yeah but stanzas suck a fat one

DO you think if you raced a 1990 240sx that would be a good race....


Same exact engine in a Stanza:D

maybe he's just full of shit, take him on and see if he is lying or not?

nissan stanzas are fucken bad yall are just hate'n i have 1 2 but i have a skyline eng. in it and iv only raced 2 hondas and i tear them an new ass hole !!!!

Unless you have a Vtec and assuming you have an Si Del Sol 125hp and 106lbs of torque aint cuttin it.

well, it could be that he swapped out the engine with a 240sx ka24de 16valve engine with ECU and performance parts. Possible turbo? Maybe the cars he raced are just insanely slow. I remember my stock 91 Stanza could rip tires in the first three gears.

one guy i know put a SR20DET in his 91, and that shit wuz FAST!!!!! but i have an 89. does any one think you can fit an SR20DET in an 89.

hello every
I have a 1990 nissan stanza but it is giving me some problems, in february of this year I had replaced the tensioner, it ran pretty fine until i had a mechanic screw up my distributor, but my regular mechanic fixed it. I drove all the way from NC to NJ with no problems until the night i went to move my car and when i started it up it started making a noise. the noise. it makes a loud noise when i start the car up in the morning for about 4secs then it gets a little silent but you could still hear the noise it makes. does anyone know what the problem is. and if it is serious, i have been driving it like this for about 7 weeks. is that dangerous?

This for the gentlemen who had such nice things to say about Stanza's. When we first bought our 90 Stanza I was really surprised at how nice the car ran. The torque in the first three gears is unreal, and driving her on the interstate I was simply surprised at how the car moved along nicely and gave a good smooth ride. Besides these qualities you can catch rubber very well in the lower gears, the engine that Nissan put in this car is great. Even in its stock form the engine performs for you and gives the Hondas out there a hard road and will not make it easy for them. As far as I am concerned Hondas are overated, I speak from my own driving experenice with car. Our Stanza now has over 250,000 miles on it. The car is using alot oil now and more gas to do the same things it took less to do. We are going to have the engine overhauled, the car repainted, upgrade to disc brakes on the rear wheels, new ignition system and other items to bring her upto speed. This Stanza may not be a Acura, or Honda, but I would much rather have our Stanza over any of these car on any given day. When Nissan built this car, they really got it right on this car, and I really like the lines of our car. She has been great to my family and taken us eveywhere we needed to go.

An sr20det will bolt in. In new zealand, we got sr20de/det fwd and awd u12's

stanzas did have alotta torque, and i've never driven one new.....but i only dream of it. some assholes dont understand the stanzas not coming back. go suck a fat honda dick. and for that guy with car sounds it's your engine, does it tick, it's getting old.....nothing to worry about. thay have special shit you can put in your oil. unless it's your exhaust well i dunno

im pretty sure the sr20de i not bolt on, infact im pretty positive. let's not even get models mixed up i dont know, i onlty hope it's easier than impossible.....i love my stanza that much :eek7:

I think Stanzas are great! I have a '91 and she's my baby! :iagree:

I smoke civics like mad i own a 1992 stanza xe and all i did was put on a new cold air and an exaust i was beating them stock to begin with i beat the fastest civic se for 200 miles stock

I smoke civics like mad i own a 1992 stanza xe and all i did was put on a new cold air and an exaust i was beating them stock to begin with i beat the fastest civic se for 200 miles whn my car was stock with a bad trani and clutch

(Thanks for sayin' that twice...)the Stanza has a lot of torque. Hondas always suck when it comes to torque. Check the specs between the cars. What generation civics are we talkin' about here?

Dude...do NOT underestimate a stanza. I used to have a 92 xe 5sp...and man i tell you...that thing surprised me many times. I raced preludes, integras...civics...and whooped em. yeah it looks plain and...just a regular 4 door car, but...wow, i miss that car so much. i now have a maxima, but still sometimes i wish i still had my stanza...

wow, this is pretty dumb. The reason the guy with the stanzas beat civics is because stock civics are nothing special, and more people put their money into appearance mods than anything else. I'm pretty sure you can bolt on an SR20DE(with little fab work), it's the SR20DET that you'd have trouble, because it's mounted a different way in the engine bay (due to RWD), and it would require more modification than a regular engine swap.

I like the nissan engines because they're torquey, more so than any honda. My Maxima has more torque than an S2000, but the S2000 has me on horsepower. Hondas aren't overrated, they're just common, but very good cars IMO..

Great use of the english language guys, and you know which ones you are...the use of profanity is a sure sign of a limited knowledge of language skills. And I might add, an IQ of just about your age!

Good luck beating him with that del sol i just beat a del sol with my 90 stanza the this last weekend

i just got 1 an modded it. my sis game it to me so i did true cold air intake, exaust with custom tuned headers. valve springs an retainers complete rebuild.lightweight pulley. full msd ignition unit an coil.this thing is freakin bad. tourqe slams me to the seat. i love nissans. this is my first nissan. an i got the 92 model with 17`s dropped 3 inches with coilovers. yes i found coilovers.ill start a tread for all that want adjustable coilovers
