very nice, i'd rock one of those anyday... toss on some 97+ SE-R 5spoke 15s and the thing will look sweet or even some 03 spec v 17s

 

+1 CoulumbianMax on the wheel recommendation. Had those on my 93 B13 powder coated gunmetal on a black car.

 

That's an awesome addition to your Nissan family, Pearl. My brother has one of those up in DC. I'm hoping he will drive it down here so I can work on it since it's just sitting there while he's in NYC. We just got a cheap B14 200SX 5spd at work that I am thinking to get since my VG auto trans is also starting to go out. Unfortunately it is only the GA16DE and the 5th gear pop out is already a problem, but heck, that motor gets 30city/40hwy mpg, a far cry better than the current problem ridden injectors and slipping tranny in my Max. As it is I averaging a little better than 10 mpg in the Max.

So, good luck with the SE-R. Looks like these cars are light as hell, ~ 2426 lbs stock B13 SE-R or 2366 lbs stock B14 SE, so any power adders will certainly make them move! Check out the SR20VE swap. I think it's 187hp stock. We should get together sometime. I'm finally getting more going with the cars since I'm working as a mechanic at my buddy's dealership here in Gainesville. Let me know if you have any leads on a VE5spd swap for a good price for the Max. Thanks. Later.

thats a nice car, real oldschool, on my way home from work theres someone who has this car with a real nice body kit, looks real good. not riced out all

 

good buy, you will have alot of fun in that car. I do in mine, suspension mods would be road magnet springs/kyb agx struts, FSTB/RSTB, RSB, LCA brace all of which I have on mine minus the RM springs as I have old school eibachs. The car rotates well during cornering and the LSD makes it all the better. Other things are changing the LCA bushings to energy suspension ones, but don't touch the rear as they will make it bind. Prothane makes engine/tranny mounts as well as ES does inserts.

An upgrade on brakes is to get the AD22VFs that come on the 91-94 NX2000, but you will have to change to either nx or b14 rims as stockers will rub caliper. For power upgrades any intake will do good, SSAC header or ebay header makes good power, jwt ecus are dirty cheap now that there is a self tune ecu made by calum. JWT, tomei, BC all make cams which aren't hard to install. Bolt ons to a SR20 can make around 25-35whp over stock.

 

Great info- the last few nights I've been reading up on sr20forums- lots and lots of information on these car's, I was amazed at how many "how-to's" and tutorials they had.

I can chirp second, but not third- I don't know whether this is due to me getting used to the clutch, or it needing a tune up. I don't know how recent the last tune up it had was- but it does seem like it could rev up quicker. I'm gonna do a pretty thorough tune up the next couple of days I get off just to make sure I'm getting all the power that can be had. Still though, very quick engine for the size of the car.

 

I'm digging the 97+ SE-R recommendation, they almost remind me of 4th gen max 16" SE rims. I think they would go nicely. I was already thinking of going with the 'past' james92se look with the amber front signals and think the wheels would be a good match. Bet I could pick them up on tires pretty cheap too.

Pics!?

Yeah, I was surprised at how light it was- but you can definitely feel it when driving- that alone makes the car great fun- I could imagine how a few breathe mods and a few suspension upgrades could make these things killer. I'm getting overwhelmed with all the options and no cash (other than what's for the maxima of course- goodbye tax returns)... having to prioritize my finances carefully but definitely want to do stuff here and there if the opportunity arises. Headers appear to be a crowd pleaser, as well as a CAI.

The B14 sounds like a catch... could be a good DD if nothing else- but a better project car! My friend had one with the GA and it was still a peppy car- auto though.. I'll keep my eyes open for any and all VE's (like I usually am) and let you know if I come across any.


Thanks for all the info, who makes all the tower braces? I didn't seem to find any cheapo one's on ebay. What kind of drop are the road magnet springs vs. eibach? I've heard any more than an inch and a half drop on the b13 isn't great, care to speculate? Have you heard anything on hyperco springs? Do you have a Pop charger or CAI?

 

Awesome ride

 

provision concept 1-

 

i like!

 

 

Looks damn good.

 

good starting point for a track car, but not much of one for a DD.
