If it's the 2.5 then it's the SE-R Spec V
The SE-R had the 2.0

it was the 2.5L QR-25 engine;the intake butterfly screws loosen and the
engine ingests them and trashes the cylinders,and also ingests bits of the
catalytic from the exhaust.newer motors get a screen in the intake to catch
the screws,and a modified catalytic.("pre-cat";the one right next to the
exhaust manifold)

Google is your friend;use it and you'll get lots of info on this.

All 2002 SE-R's had 2.5's, The SR20s were dropped after 2001 for the
QR25DE as were the 1.6 liter Ga16de in the base Sentras for the 1.8
liter QG18DE engine. And yes the 2002 had a healthy appetite for
injesting throttle plate screws, and many engines were replaced due to
this problem.

I bought a 2002 Sentra SE-R. I still own it. It never had a engine
recall. like another poster said there was a recall on a part. That if
the part was not replaced it could do damadge to the engine. So if the
seller of that car replaced the engine, he is not telling you all he
knows.
 >> Stay informed about: '02 Sentra recall for engine replacement? 

Wrong, I own a 2002 SE-R with a 2.5, not a 2.0
