  Project Auto-X B13 Sentra SE-R


Well, picked this little car up today for less than a grand. It's a 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R (B13 Chassis) with the factory SR20DE (Non turbo version of the motor that is in my 240SX). The motor has a spun rod bearing, but other than that runs fine, ha ha. Thanks to a buddy I have a spare engine sitting on the side of my house from his G20, so I'm good to go!

This car I am building as my not only my winter daily driver, but as my purpose built autox car! That's right, I am going to build this car for a certain SCCA class to compete in autox next year! I'll have to figure out what class I am going to shoot for first, but for now, I'm just going to be getting the car ready for the winter! I want to keep the budget under $3000 if I can!

Now for pics in the condition I picked it up in!






92 White 240SX Coupe: 11.95 @ 114.03 MPH; 1.613 60 Foot (342.5 WHP / 334.6 WTQ); GT3071R and then some in the works...
92 White 240SX Vert: My Newest S13; Fun in the Sun!!!
91 Black Sentra SE-R: Auto-X Project
89 Black 240SX Coupe: The Quickest T25 I ever drove (Sold )
93 Red 240SX Coupe: My First S13 (Sold )

Here is the uncleaned interior...

Just a quick exterior wash to end the day!

Lol, guess I've been hanging around my G20 buddy too long then, because with those cars it's a hit and miss with the LSD option, ha ha. Thanks though!

I have a QR25DE 6 speed tranny sitting in my garage I might be thinking of putting in the car, but I still have a bunch of parts I need to get still for the complete swap setup!

Probably ought to keep the 5spd. The 6spd won't really help you, at least not for the cost. What year is it out of?

Well, I finally got my replacement engine on the engine stand! It's out of a 91 G20, so it's even the same year motor as the car. Engine has about 180k on it I believe, but it doesn't have a rod knock! lol

Well, I worked on transferring some parts from the old motor to the new, as well as installed a header. It's just a cheaper JVT header, and I had to do some modifications to it so it would not only fit correctly, but flow better as well. I also, installed some new tune up parts as well as a JDM upper intake manifold, so I can delete all the emissions stuff. Tomorrow, I'm hoping to get the motor finished up and possibly even get it in the car! I'll be working on it for 6 hours or so...

Well..... She Runs! And very smoothly too! Only thing is that the driver side axle seal is messed up, and leaks pretty badly. So I'm stuck up here in klamath until i can fix that, but the car does run! Here's a pic of the engine bay!

Heh thats cool, I was just thinking maybe the reflector setup in the housings was different/better or something.

I am kind of digging those tail lights though lol

Going to go with some CSK's or AGX shocks to go with my RM springs. Progress Rear and possibly front sway bars. Custom built suspension adjustable suspension links. Strut bars of course. A set of motegi track lights with Falken RT615's, and NX2000 brakes. That's about it probably, lol. However, it will be a slow process, because this is a side project to my 240, lol.
