bought my first "modern" car yesterday :thumbup: . A 1994 Nissan Sentra XE Coupe. I got the price I wanted and drove it home on all 3 cylinders. It is the first vehicle I have owned that is FWD, injected, and has enough room for me to stretch my legs. It has a G16DE engine and a 5 speed trans 4 speed trans that used to have 5 gears. It's not just falling out of 5th, it's not there at all any more. Not really a big deal though but I'll try to fix it if I keep the car long enough. I'm the third owner, I think. It has 180k miles. 40k miles are from the previous owner who admitted to not taking as good of care of it as the original owner. I have a nice stack of receipts though showing it was well maintained for a long time. Scroll down for OICS! The Bad: Missing on #3. More details on that ahead. No 5th gear. Ding in passenger fender Hit something on drivers door. Missing the trim piece and has some scratches and dings. Brake light switch stuck on. Figured it out after some serious contortion. Headliner hanging Dash lights out. Specifically the gauge cluster back light Missing a hubcap The Good: Runs, drives, and stops very well. I'm sure it will run even better on all 4 cylinders :D No rust Exterior needs little work Interior is an 8/10 and I like the brown! Has brand new tires A/C works. Never had that before It's a coupe, and my head doesn't hit the ceiling. Plans: Well it can go two ways. I fix it up and daily drive it. Or I fix it up and make a quick flip so I can keep upgrading. I'll probably fix up both the B13 and B210 and put them out in the yard with the same price and see which one sells first and drive the other :pirate: Fix the obvious mechanical stuffs Rub out the dent in fender. Replace drivers door. It's a common color and it would be easier than body work plus replacing the trim piece. Rustoleum paint job. I know I can do a decent job with a foam roller and some wet sanding. Color will be a sort of gold green metallic. Or just gold with metal flake. Front and rear spoilers. Splash guards on front and rear. Lowered 2 inches. The springs are available and cheap. A new set of hubcaps or some cheap wheels. Custom headliner. Some LED lighting Upgrade the stereo and speakers. Maybe a small sub in the trunk. Maybe some more ricer shit Drive it

Hi, I am new to the forum, got here because of a carburetor swap I did on my car (wife´s car but I drive and she´s too lazy to drive so I am her driver anyways :P ) Of all the place, I had two choices, the MG club or the Datsun club, and I choose to come here. Mainly because the Datsun is a Japanese car (as far as Wikipedia tells me). I haven´t seen any of those in my country, but there is Nissan and Mazda, being Nissan like a son of Datsun (if I understood the story of Datsun correctly). And secondly, because you guys seem to know more about the weber adjustment than most folks on the web on other forums, I feel more at ease seeing more info and stuff here than any other place.
