What is this manual valve you speak of? I'm not going the be able to do anything elaborate, it's very much a "come get it out my yard" type deal. No common issues or anything like that with that gen of sentra?

Tried to order about a month ago, the FL based seller cancelled the order and messaged that they were out of stock. Any other sources?

I may be able to snap one up on the cheap, besides regular transmission fluid analytics and trigonomical shifter handle fiddling what else could i diagnosticate with? I have read tell of some shift cable stay clip that may pop off, but have only found dead image links of it.

yeah that's about right on the money in my area. you can't make a poor quality shell that straight and paint it for that much here, but you also could likely find a driveline for less than 2500 that runs. i paid under a grand for mine, delivered, not running. 2wd tho.

turns out some of my issue was ignition side problems, new cap and rotor and it fired right up. prev. cap and rotor were new, but had black plastic, and silver contacts. never seen that before. New parts have bronze colored contacts. I didn't think chinesium was an actual different materal, i just thought it was a metaphor for poor quality control...

mine also sat for a long time, i think about 8-10 yrs. I replaced my short paper in tank filter, and in line filter. i think a few months ago. found a paper filter easily enough then.

dash pic is of it running, or at least registering an engine speed...

wiki confirms for posterity even if trans is same model, bell housing/front cass is different, with a diagram. it's just only listed under the "bell housing" page and not the transmission one. have seen the roadster seating position and all i believe it has the selector farther back, just by eyeballing it. i'd put the whole r16 driveline in all together, but when i see next to no research on it, it does make me think something like a sump/pickup tube is in the wrong place. not to mention roadster guys aren't exactly out hunting the A15s, so it must not be worth it. i'd love to have enough free time to even halfass fix this motor, i'm hoping the dozens of smoke-belching freeway miles aren't screwing the innards up too badly or anything. i just can't take the time off to fix it. if you have recommendations for a basic ring kit, i'm all ears. i can at least buy it and look at it. did get a possible lead from putting up a WTB ad, Ratsun ftw.🤘

A significant change in circumstance has led to a shortage of functioning motor vehicles in my fleet. Tired little B210 is having to pick up DD slack, and after a compression test, shows roughly 120PSI across all cyl, and from what i've read the spec is supposed to be ~150. The bottom end has taken up a hobby of beatboxing, and vaping, despite my advice not to. closest shot in the dark junkyard motor i can find is 300 miles away, but a local listing has a 1600 roaster motor and trans. the 1200 wiki lists the same transmission models for the R motor and the A, but no real info on compatability. If i get really lucky and things bolt/line up, the only hurdles i can see are mounts that need made and maybe an issue adapting the ignition a little. what else can go wrong?

i have found a complete r16 driveline for a reasonable price near me. i know nothing of roadsters, but it was claimed to be running last year and looks it. given the goal is just to be a test mule, and the end goal is a more adaptive fuel system anyways, any reason why i shouldn't?

first two links seem promising, that manifold is very affordable. the thing about the ebay link i started with was that the bike it cane from already exists and has an entire ecm setup, sensors, etc for it. the box itself is available for $2-300, the rail would be under 100 with injectors, fpr, etc. most sensor/connectors would be to a '11 zx14. tuning would be expensive but i wouldn't be in $2000 in parts in the first week. now that i'm awake it doesn't seem impossible to just rig the bike throttle input potentiometer to the throttle cable off the intake. i figured i'd get a bunch of "carbs are fine leave the poor car alone", not support!

actually after looking at that particular listing its obvious that particular setup is fly by wire, back to drawing board🙃

I originally had a idea of adapting 90s ef hatch tbi fuel injection from a 1.5 honda motor on to this same car, years ago, and was naysayed by an old head. weird to think that would have actually worked if i spent some time actually learning how the systems worked. I almost had the idea down then, but didn't have the confidence to just go buying shit and mushing it together. pretty sure it would be easier to do tbi over mulitport, and less complicated. but i'm under the impression tbi is entirely inferior to mpi? if it wasn't why was it such a flash in the pan in automotive tech?

sniper is essentially a tbi kit, afaik. a complete one, mostly, so it doesn't require any.. creative sourcing. i'd considered it or something similar, but who's ever had a success story with it? i'm very open to input. what's your crazier-but-cooler idea?
