It's nice to see Mr. Jerry really happy with the outcome of the car. Mr. Jerry, thank you for your service. I also think Mr. Jerry has quite a voice! I believe he could record commercials or some stuff like that.
WOW I was so pleasantly surprised on how thankful Jerry was towards Eric. I'm so glad he got his car fixed and not someone like Jeff. Great series of videos with the SE-R Eric, you really outdid yourself. You're an awesome person and I'm proud to be Subscribed to you.
I don't wanna judge people, but Jerry seemed a hundred times happier to see his car fixed than Barbara did back when she got her van back. With his reaction I would feel much better donating money to the fund than before.
Shame you don't live in Loveland, CO. My mom car needs a lot of work. I love your videos and I want to do the same thing you did in this series when I start in the mechanics field. Thank you Eric for helping people like my mom that are in need of repairs. This video made me smile. I learned a lot that school doesn't teach you. Keep it up!
In my family, a Ham is one of the ultimate offers of thanks someone could give. Not because of the monetary value (anymore) but because of sentiment. What a fantastic job Eric!
+EricTheCarGuy it's an awesome feeling when you help someone else and know that they appreciate it, and that you were able to lend a helping hand. the very reason I'm currently putting an 05 Chevy classic (98-03 body style Malibu) back together after a wreck and not charging labor. I say if you are fortunate enough to have a skill that some don't,use it for good when you have the time to do so!
Well done Eric :-D. All your skill/talent and hard work has made this car perform like new again, i could see that he just could not beleive it was the same car. Your such a kind man eric, you made his day :-D.
Eric the Car Guy!!! I honestly loved this video I don't own a Sentra but I do own a Nissan Titan and have owned a Maxima and I subscribed because your laid back and know what your doing! I think you do a great job and just wanted to say Keep up the excellent work and God bless you and your family for all that you do! Hope so see more videos in the future, fan for life! Lol
Love what you do with your channel, the time & energy you spend helping people out. I’ve watched hours of your content & have been enabled to properly perform much of my own maintenance on my vehicle thanks to you! Keep it up. 👍🏼
Eric, thank you so much for helping this man and myself out by making these videos and fixing that man's car. I own a Sentra myself as my first car and it's great to have videos with the exact same year. Idk if I could replace control arms myself, but I know how to check spark plugs for residual oil and I know not to get an aftermarket valve cover! My car burns oil at 115,000 and I think it is due to a bad o2 sensor and possibly a worn timing chain or a bad tensioner from what you were describing. It's good to know they can go the distance if they are maintained well.
It had been so long since you got the car I forgot that Jerry is a Veteran. Eric you do a great job and you don't know how much i've learned just from watching your videos. I have used your tricks when i work on my vehicles at home.
Hello Eric, Thank you for helping me with my Nissan! In the past I did a valve adjustement on my Acura MDX 2005 after watching your videos. It worked well. I did not expect that I will find help with the other car that I have: Nissan Primera 2002! I am in Moldova, a small country in Europe. The Acura is imported from the US, but the Nissan is manufactured in UK. The thing is that Sentra and Primera have similar engines: QR25DE, QR 20DE respectively. This video shows me exactly what I need in order to address the issues that come with running old cars, as I try to do the repairs by myself. Strange enough, parts are cheaper in the US, therefore seeing the similarities, gives me the confidence of ordering parts from the US also for my Nissan. I like your mechanical skills, the ways you explain, and the sense of humor. WOW, what a surprise to see Jerry wearing a sweater with Romanian text. Eric, anytime you decide to visit Romania (the Dracula castle) let me know, I will be your guide and driver. Don’t worry if the cars break. We will fix them on the side of the road! Wish you best, Cristian PS: For the Sentra I would have recommended to have a throttle body clean-up, as the gunk that accumulates make it sluggish over time, followed by an idle relearn. There is also a recall with the crankshaft sensors on this particular engine.
This is awesome. I can't think of a more deserving candidate for this video then a Veteran. He served and put his life on the line for the rest of us. That's ultimate respect. Did more for him then what the Federal is doing for him after they promised him stuff and more then likely didn't keep their end of the deal.
Hey Eric, I've loved this series. I have a 2002 SE-R that I got from under a pine tree. It sat for 18 months, lots of tree sap. Fired right up with a new battery and a small shot of starter fluid. It's an awesome car, only 75K miles. There is actually a cover that goes over that charcoal canister to keep the road grime out. Love the hub grappler for the wheel bearing. Love what you did for Jerry. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do for all us DIYers.
I hope you don't leave the stock pre-cat on it, get a header they break down over time and get sucked back up into the engine, which scores cylinder walls and causes it to burn oil
Hi. Very nice video. Just wanted to mention that Jerry t-shirt is from my country! Sighisoara Town, Romania, Europe! Very proud to see it in your video. I hope he enjoyed the visit and maybe you will sometimes come in here too, it is a very nice area in the world. Worth visiting!
I had a huge smile on my face during the entire video, Eric you are a fantastic individual and I was so glad to see how much Jerry enjoyed getting his car back.
Another great video Eric, love the way you articulate and explain different systems even though I already know them it's fun to listen to you describe them :)
Need more mechanics like this in my area. Glad Eric had the ability to do this. I'm very Glad Jerry will be out there enjoying his car every single time he needs to go somewhere.
This series restores my faith in humanity, thank you. I was curious if there are any plans to do a "Fixing it Forward - where are they now" update videos?
Of the 3 fixing it forwards so far, i feel that this is one of the most worthwhile cars to put some investment into. The car looks in pretty good condition underneath. The wiring and hoses look pretty good. The suspension had some much needed attention, with the new chain in the engine i think that car could well do another 7-10 years/150,000 miles with reasonable maintenance and a few age related parts failures. There really isn't much better than 90's Nissans/Toyotas/Hondas. You know Nissans these days, especially whats sold in the UK. Nissan have tied up with Renault and they are just no where near as good as they used to be.
Excellent, Eric! Seems kind of odd that the Sentra is FINALLY finished after so long, but the look on Jerry's face as he drove his baby was entirely worth it! As audiogarden 21 said, he was like a kid on Christmas. Fixing It Forward is a true bit of brilliance, sir! Please keep this series coming. Dave
Mr. Eric, the car guy, thankyou for providing this video and all the informations about this Nissan Sentra. As you said this Nissan Sentra is a wonderful car from my own experience because I own a 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE I bought new from the Nissan Dealership. Honestly I don't intend to give this car because of it's good service to us with NO any major repairs except oil changes, tyre changes, air filter, spark plugs etc. During the past 16 years with 160,000 miles with no body rusting etc. and most importantly it is with timing chain. I also own new Honda Pilot, civic and Toyota Corolla and of all these Japanese car I prefer Nissan because it is the only did not have any recalls from the manufacturers. I enjoyed from you saying repeatedly that you this Nissan Sentra and I believe it is based on your own experience from driving this car.
most veterans go about their day, not asking for much of anything. they'd do it all over again if need be. not for awards, accolades, or recognition. they just wanted to do their part. thank you jerry, and the many out there just like jerry for your contributions and sacrifices. thank you eric for putting this project together. i look forward to future episodes of fixing it forward. incredible that this is all basically viewer funded. two thumbs way up ETCG.
This is great I'm so happy for Jerry! Eric you are a great person and you've done a great job on this car. Knowing that you are actually local to me I wish I could have you service my cars.
I would have serious problems putting all that time and effort into a 225K Nissan . If it were me, I would have found a used Toyota Camry, Corolla with 150-175K . It's just alot of time and resources for a 225k nissan . The owners response when driving it was AWESOME ! Great Video as always Eric. Love the vids and channel !
dammit Etcg i keep telling u. start looking for some voice over work. this interviewing skill and the way u drive the guests through it , is something that most people dont have.
260.000 miles ! Now way ! The hoses look dry and cracked airbox to throttle body and emission hose from vavle cover to air intake , but that proves older cars if looked after can save you money , by not buying a new one on credit , decent , honest mechanic technicians take pride in their work , quality used old cars can be repaired and drive as new . Great vids on this subject.
When he turned that engine on and smiled, I smiled as well. Great job Eric.
+CT Dashcammer That, and the test drive made every cut, bruise, and scrape worth it.
Haha, same here :) Must have been a nice feeling for Eric
It's nice to see Mr. Jerry really happy with the outcome of the car. Mr. Jerry, thank you for your service.
I also think Mr. Jerry has quite a voice! I believe he could record commercials or some stuff like that.
Sounds like love at first site 😂😘
That look on Jerry's face when he starts the car. Like a kid at Christmas.
It makes this show so worth it! Such a great thing Eric is doing with fixing it forward!
+Marlon Johnson Sure does, mate.
WOW I was so pleasantly surprised on how thankful Jerry was towards Eric. I'm so glad he got his car fixed and not someone like Jeff. Great series of videos with the SE-R Eric, you really outdid yourself. You're an awesome person and I'm proud to be Subscribed to you.
+Aaron Johnson Thank you!
Aaron Johnson for real I loved watching these Nissan videos
Man, Eric is one of the nicest and selfless people I will probably know in my entire life. This series is incredible. Thank you Eric.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.
I don't wanna judge people, but Jerry seemed a hundred times happier to see his car fixed than Barbara did back when she got her van back. With his reaction I would feel much better donating money to the fund than before.
exactly!
It’s typical for women to expect society to provide for them at no cost whatsoever to them, including gratitude.
His face said it all! I feel happy for Jerry he deserves this car that's for sure!
It's satisfying to see a veteran of your country with a reliable car.
I loved all the SE-R videos. You put the enormous amount of time, effort and patience to make this thing happy car. Great, great job!!
Getting the little things done (10%) makes the rest of the big things you did (90%) look and/or work 50% better. Great series, Eric.
I can tell that he is very thankful. So cool!
Shame you don't live in Loveland, CO. My mom car needs a lot of work. I love your videos and I want to do the same thing you did in this series when I start in the mechanics field. Thank you Eric for helping people like my mom that are in need of repairs. This video made me smile. I learned a lot that school doesn't teach you. Keep it up!

+Michael Lacey Yea, that was great of him to do that. It was delicious too.
+EricTheCarGuy This put a smile on my face Eric. You are a good man.

What a great series this was enjoy your car Jerry and it us that should be thanking you! Eric you have a heart of gold.
Well done Eric :-D.
All your skill/talent and hard work has made this car perform like new again, i could see that he just could not beleive it was the same car.
Your such a kind man eric, you made his day :-D.
+zx8401ztv Yea, he was very happy with the car. It was an honor to work on it.

re Fixing the horn, a temporary fix here in Australia is a bumper sticker " Horn Broken Watch for Finger "
***** not in Western Australia YET the cops aren't quite that corrupt ,but get me onto the topic of speed cameras !
+Moondyne .Joe china sells those air horns for semi trucks
Lol
+TTTopGun so true mate

It really warms my heart to see the care you take with these vehicles.

Did more for him then what the Federal is doing for him after they promised him stuff and more then likely didn't keep their end of the deal.
Its so nice to see how happy he is to have his car back even when starting it after quite a long time, very nice work as always Eric!

Eric well done. Nice to see this. Handing the car over and explaining the work is something I miss out on as a tech in my garage.
A nice conclusion to a good series of videos. It's good to see someone was helped along the way. Looking forward to the next one!
As a 13,year self taught mechanic,I love your videos ,u deserve a real show on cable , honestly my guy.
Hi. Very nice video.
Just wanted to mention that Jerry t-shirt is from my country! Sighisoara Town, Romania, Europe! Very proud to see it in your video. I hope he enjoyed the visit and maybe you will sometimes come in here too, it is a very nice area in the world. Worth visiting!
It's always nice when someone actually appreciates all your hard work. Well done Eric
So nice when it all works like that. :-) And I'm so impressed with that car, too -- I had no idea the Nissan Sentra SE-R was so cool.
+LMacNeill Neither did I.
I had a huge smile on my face during the entire video, Eric you are a fantastic individual and I was so glad to see how much Jerry enjoyed getting his car back.
(faint chanting from hundreds of viewers) Fairmont! Fairmont! Fairmont!
Great video Eric! Following this series has been very entertaining!
+Joseph Riale Yes, I hear that a lot these days. Updates here monthly. www.ericthecarguy.com/blog/1525-april-2016-newsletter
Another great video Eric, love the way you articulate and explain different systems even though I already know them it's fun to listen to you describe them :)
Always nice to have things you already know confirmed. A good feeling
amazing video Eric. your work is so important to the viewers, but also the people in need. keep em coming!
Need more mechanics like this in my area. Glad Eric had the ability to do this. I'm very Glad Jerry will be out there enjoying his car every single time he needs to go somewhere.
Really enjoy this fixin it forward. Awesome idea. Look forward to the next one.
That smile on his face when he starts it up. Well done to everyone involved!
Really like this series Eric! Great to see you helping out and its also come in handy while working on my 05 SE-R spec-v!

Great job, Eric! Well done.

Congrulations Eric for one great fixing on forward project completed. Looking forward for next project.
Nice to see Jerry so happy about all the work you did!
Excellent, Eric! Seems kind of odd that the Sentra is FINALLY finished after so long, but the look on Jerry's face as he drove his baby was entirely worth it! As audiogarden 21 said, he was like a kid on Christmas.

+daveogarf Thank you. I plan to make FiF even better going forward.

Great series, Eric. I watched the whole thing.
Job well done Eric. Love this series.. keep em coming.
Now this is the reaction I expected from Barbara and the other guy!
25:47 sounds like a shoe squeak....or a fart. I can tell this guy was genuinely happy and very thankful that he has a great functioning car.
another fantastic video Eric, keep up the great work.
that's awesome that you help people out with fixing it forward. I know what to look up when working on my car. got the spec v. love my car
260.000 miles ! Now way ! The hoses look dry and cracked airbox to throttle body and emission hose from vavle cover to air intake , but that proves older cars if looked after can save you money , by not buying a new one on credit , decent , honest mechanic technicians take pride in their work , quality used old cars can be repaired and drive as new . Great vids on this subject.
