Exellent Guidline for tuning NIssan Sport Compacts
Combined with a factory service manual, this book was obviously written to be informative and provide tuning guidance, and not step by step processes, which it does effectively.With regards to the book pointing to the "FSM", a person modifying a modern car would be insane to not own a Factory Service Manual.While the engine performance modifications may not agree with some of the other reviewers, the turbocharger is the equalizer for sport compacts when compared to big displacement engines, which is my primary area of interest. However, the book covers tuning aspects from bumper to bumper, from suspension to driveline to body modifications.A final thought, as one reviewer mentioned, Nissan Sport Compacts DO NOT receive the aftermarket support that Honda does. Knowing which manufacturers of quality parts to pick from is half the game, and the book points them out effectively.No brainer for the price.

Great book with huge wealth of information!
If you own the cars or engines mentioned in this book, buy it. It has great information and really tells you what NOT to do along with what should be done properly.It will not tell you what to step-by-step. That the dumbest answer I read for reviews for this book. Nothing will be step-by-step, you gotta get your hands dirty and use your brain to think some before you start wrenching on a car.Sarah's book really helps the beginners with engine processes and goes deep into turbo adds and engine swaps, suspension, everything. The book is great, go do yourself a favor and buy it if you own an engine or car mentioned in this book. You won't regret it!

nissan owners and tuners buy now!
if your looking for just typical maintenance on the car this book won't get you by, but for anyone who wants to do even simple bolt on modifications this book tells you what to do to get the most from it and who to buy it from. using this book in combination with the factory service manual and a heyns manual you can do a lot. this book is a must buy covering everything from all parts needed for engine swaps like the famous ga16de to sr20de swaps even how to stiffen your ride. this book covers every aspect of modification and enhancement.

A great go to guide!
The book was just what I was looking for. I'm a DIY kinda guy so this was right up my alley. It touches base with every aspect of the vehicle especially the B15 Sentras. It goes into enough depth and detail that's easy to understand and leads to further examination of your ride. I own a 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V and I enjoyed the information specifically for it.I recommend this book to those that are just getting into autocross or straight line racing. It's a great reference point that snowballs into further research.

Great Book
This is a great read, actually pretty informative for being the thickness of 2 magazines. Sarah is like a cat in love with cars, her curiosity pays off with knowledge. Definitely worth a read, and I've read it several times. This is not a step by step, but gives a great general understanding of performance products.

Better than Haynes
This book covers a lot more than a Haynes manual. If you're a complete novice or an advanced DIYer this is a great book for tuning your car. Many detailed photographs. If you're starting a project car from scratch, I definitely recommend this book and as a supplement get a Haynes.
