As if having two cars isn't enough, I drove another one home yesterday. I found a 94' Sentra SE-R that needs a little works but still runs and drives, but best of all the car isn't rusty, high mileage, or beat to death. Most of these have rocker panels littered with rust holes, bad door hinges, and rusty door pillars but this one has survived somehow. Its still got some life left in it at 126k, and it'll be a good fun small car.

Back in an SR20 car.

Nice find! Haven't seen one around here in rust land in probably 5 years.

Someday I will have one of these. I have wanted one for years but they always seem to slip out of my reach when I am looking. Good find!

Nice, I picked up one over the summer myself:

I like the look with the B14 wheels.

I really miss boxy 2-door coupes. The Sentra SE-R is one of those cars and I love the way they look. They were a real pocket rocket too. An SR20 motor is nothing to turn your nose up at.

Nice e-brake. Don't suck that into the snow blower . . . . (no, not yet.)

I like those! IIRC Sport Compact Car had one as a project car with plenty of articles in the mags.

Yep, and someone who is a member of this forum actually bought that car. You can see it in the Reader's Rides section.

The crazy thing is this car lived in Pennsylvania since new and came with a set of snow tires on the original wheels. Someone must have taken care of it in the past.

E-brake isn't working but has new cables and calipers, need to look up the adjustment procedure most likely. Needs front pads ( $14 for EBC greens on amazon!), wiper blades, and a new door lock cylinder. Tearing into it today to see what else she needs.

I want to have it road-ready by may and replace my camaro.

Since moving here 14-15 months ago, I've found 3 or 4 on local CLs, but have never "pulled the trigger" even tho as a former 1st gen G20 owner I want to try the G's "little brother".

A guy on the Jacksonville CL has one of these in near race ready condition...it lacks cage bars for the doors (he's still driving it on the street) and nets for the windows. Engine and suspension are modified with many Nissan and aftermarket parts.

I had the privilege of driving that car (Dave Coleman's SCC Project SE-R) cross country a few years back (a friend bought it). I've been craving a B13 SE-R ever since...

Looks like a nice B13. They are getting hard to find unmolested / rusty. Great find, good luck.

The one on craigslist in Jax is mine (Shameless plug.....) and is looking for a new home....

Did some work on the car today.

The passenger side parking brake is back in action, and the drivers side is starting to work. It was stuck on and just needs to be worked back and forth.

I pulled the fender liners and lower fenders off and emptied out a few pounds of dirt. Trying to keep the rust worm at bay. I found some surface rust that needs to be taken care of sooner rather than later.

Now to figure out how to open the glove box. The key fits but won't turn and the lower piece of trim must cover some bolts on the hinge.

Got a nice set of blizzaks with the car but none were holding air when I unloaded them. Aired one up with 30psi and seems to be holding just fine.

I DD that car's fatter cousin, a B15 Sentra. I've driven it for five years now, and I'm still in love. Planning to do struts tommorrow and am really looking forward to it.

Nice catch!

My first car was this little guy, everything looks pretty familiar. I know the NX got nicer brakes and a center console over the se-r, but I wanted the basic looking sedan.

Here is a pic of a BRE livery Sentra that a guy in NASA Southeast TTE drives. The guy is pretty cool. I just found out he is selling it.
