Hey everyone at Playground Games, I wanted to make a suggestion for the 2018 Nissan Sentra Nismo and it’s been a constant concern for me and many others on how the car sounds in game when modified, and since Forza Horizon 4, the modified engine sound with the factory stock engine (known as the MR16DDT) is not accurate to how it actually sounds.
My best friend from high school, Akeem, is literally my right hand man for almost everything. He owns a 2018 Nissan Sentra Nismo in real life, and has since put in just under $12k USD on adding performance modifications to the car. It now makes 325hp (around 300 hp to the wheels, on a CVT since that’s the limit they can take reliably) and I posted a video to Reddit a little over a year ago to get some opinions on the sound of the car, to much fanfare. The video I have (https://www.reddit.com/r/Nissan/comments/napyda/this_is_my_best_friends_sentra_nismo_that_he/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb) is just him revving the car, but this is accurate to how this vehicle sounds when you modify it.
Me and him personally know the speed shop as well as the family that owns the shop, that modified his Sentra Nismo and countless other Sentra Nismo and Juke vehicles. They’re good peoples and the work that they have performed on his car and on my personal vehicle on numerous occasions is beyond exceptional.
FastReligion is a speed shop located in Massachusetts, both them and 2J Racing are speed shops that specializes in tuning Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. (They’ll tune and modify any car of any make or model, especially if it’s turbocharged from the factory but their main expertise is Nissan/Infiniti vehicles.)
The Juke which uses the same exact MR16DDT engine, can be modified with the same parts that one can fit to their Sentra Nismo. From 1:23 in this video (This Juke Made How Much Power!? - YouTube) you can hear how the car sounds at idle. From 2:02 to 2:12 in the video you can see and hear how the car sounds while revving with the modified stock engine. 2:12 onwards is the same free revving as before but with launch control. (aka holding down the handbrake, brakes and the gas pedal at the same time)
This is an accurate description and representation of what this car and the Sentra Nismo sound at idle, as well as free revving them and revving them with launch control when the original MR16DDT engines in them are modified.
I just feel that the amplified stock engine sound you hear when you add performance parts to the Nissan Sentra Nismo is not truly accurate as to how this car sounds like in real life modified with actual performance parts.
I would really appreciate it if the sound file for this car when modified with the original MR16DDT in the game is accurate and truly representative of the Sentra Nismo (and the Juke, if you guys decide to bring that car back) and the Sentra/Juke car communities as a whole.
