1991 Nissan Sentra Se-r (b13) on 2040-cars

Year:1991 Mileage:116000

I have a very good condition 91 (B13) Sentra SE-R up for sale. The car has about 116,000 miles on it and has some great and very hard to find upgrades. The interior is in excellent to mint condition. The majority of these generation sentras have rust and/or rot. This car is way above average in that regard and is basically rust free. The car is looks stock inside and out aside from the next generation SE-R wheels.  The intake and exhaust are very mild sounding. The handling is really what sets this car apart though. The car would make a great autocross or road course car. The car is already dialed in with great parts, cheap to run, easy to find parts, cheap to insure, and is easy on gas.  These cars are a riot to drive and were compared to BMW 2002s when introduced.

In the last week, these were replaced:  oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, and high pressure power steering line.

Upgrades to the car:

3" air intake, header, Borla stainless catback exhaust, Fidanza aluminum flywheel, Active Tuning front strut bar and lower control arm brace, b15 sentra alternator, front and rear Progress sway bars, Energy poly suspension and motor mounts, raxles, stainless brake lines, shigspeed/koni coilovers-330F/300R, Ground Control adjustable camber plates, Unorthodox pulleys, GTI-R radiator, NX2000 front brakes, (U13) Altima brake master cylinder, nice CD player with tweeter in the front doors, B14 Sentra 15" wheels with close to new 205/50/15 tires, comes with extra GTI-R steering wheel that needs work.

Cons: the car has plenty of parking dings, the radio is not powering up for some reason and antenna needs to be installed, front passenger fender does not have the gray bottom, AC is all there but needs a charge, and drive belt has started squeaking at start up since temps have dropped.

The shigspeed coilovers are long discontinued and cost $2500 when new. You would be hard pressed to find a sharper handling setup.  Modified Magazine did a article comparing the Sport Compact Car project B13 SE-R to newer SE-R's.  The SCC project car has more or less the same suspension set up as my car even down to the spring rates.  Here is a quote from the article, "That said, Project SE-R's 0.96g is damn impressive. Around the bumpy pad there's no balance, no hint of the oversteer or even comforting neutrality I tried to tune into the car, just loads of grip from the Nitto NT-01s with a bit of understeer at the end. By comparison, the B15s feel completely limp."

Here is a quote about the coilovers:

"They are Koni 8611's in custom housings using GC collars. His rear mounts for B13's do kick serious ass. Really nicely machined rear pillowball mounts that eliminate all play. I didn't have too many questions, since I got to drive a car with them and go for a track ride. Sold me on the spot! The SHigSpeed Suspension consists of shortened externally adjustable Koni Sport Struts (Yellows) front and rear with adjustable rebound and dampening. The rebound can be doubled and the compression can be tripled to go from street cruiser to crack your dental work track ready status. The strut shaft on these Koni's is a stout 22mm vs 18 and 20 mm on our previous setup. For springs Eibach ERS are used with spring rates at 380 front and 300 rear. Most aggressive street SE-Rs run 300 front and 200 rear but we're willing to compromise a little comfort to ensure our suspension is more at home on the track."

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Updated Nissan Micra gets fresh look, more tech and 'New' name

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

A few months ago, Nissan gave the Micra (which is not for US consumption) a substantial styling update that included new front and rear fascias, and stuffed more technology into the interior, such as USB ports and auxiliary inputs for audio and a new media touchscreen. Though it's still based on the same fourth-generation architecture, Nissan now calls it the New Micra.
Overall the New Micra - also known as March in some markets - looks similar to but more taut than the vehicle that launched in late 2010, thanks to more angular headlights, a new bumper, a sculpted hood and a revised grille with the Nissan logo sitting inside a chrome V, which establishes a stronger link to Nissan's "corporate look." The rear end receives less-drastic changes, such as a new bumper, LED taillamps and a new infill panel at the bottom of the tailgate.
For all of the details on Nissan's five-door city car, take a look at the press release below, and be sure to check out our live gallery from Frankfurt.

Nissan's NY taxi deal faces court obstacles

Sat, 25 May 2013

Nissan scored a big win for itself when the NV200 was named New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow, but the compact van has been under attack ever since. The latest setback for Nissan comes from the New York Supreme Court, which has reportedly ruled the deal between NYC and Nissan is "null, void and unenforceable" since the NV200 is not a hybrid - one of the key parts of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg Taxi of Tomorrow plan.
The NV200 Taxi launches this October. Although Nissan says it is bringing a hybrid version of the van to market in 2015, the New York Supreme Court ruled against Nissan, which opens the door for taxi companies in NYC to drive non-Nissan hybrid vehicles. Despite this setback, it doesn't sound like this ruling will affect the NV200 becoming the official taxi of NYC as a part of the 10-year contract worth an estimated $1 billion.
