I can get my old 1983 Sentra back. Now should i do this since i have a pos 240SX. Right now the Sentra needs a new timing belt, but runs perfect otherwise even with its 350,000+ miles. It has some rust on the quater panels, but no more anywhere. Its a 2dr 5-sp no power options. It would need a new hood as i bent the hell out of the old one pushing a truck out of a ditch. BTW what motor is in that little car. Its not EFI just a carb.

id have to say its a early e16 , probably a stright carb and not a electric feed back one like my old 87 e16s .

what happend to the 240?

doing the timeing belt was easy on my 87 e16

The 240 has a auto tranny problem. I dont know what yet but it will get fixed one day. As for my Sentra it was my frist car and i just have a love for it. Yea its not much for speed,handling, or anything of that matter. It was just a carb. nothing fancy.

yes but with the swapping out of some suspension parts from other nissan brethern . the b11 can be made to be pretty nimble. i dont know about the b11, but the b12 can be made to handle rather well with a nice set of springs and some kn13 swaybars not to mention a nice set of agxs(yes , they will fit) for more info http://www.that dead forum

you need yo fix the 240, those are very good cars! i have owned both a 1990 240 sx fast back and a 1992 Sentra XE and as far as i see the 240 is WAY BETTER!!! But, i crashed my 240 by some random 87 year old guy (No BS this guy is 87 years old) in a 94 oldsmobile but its cool i pwned the side of his car :D anyways... but anyways im buying a 1994 SE-R so i understand you love for sentras!
