Fun Fact: The b13 was so popular in mexico that they continued production until 2017.
Nissan is a Japan car
Tsuru
Rear suspension isn’t the same
@@marcuskelley9591 you don't say?!
@@JNAMOTORSPORTS Nissan Tsuru was basically a facelifted original B13 base Sentra. Nissan essentially took the base 1992 Sentra and produced it until 2017 with a facelift.
Big up to Sport Compact Car Magazine, no other magazine was better.
Used to have a b13, essentially my first car since i was the only one using it. It had power steering and nothing else. We lived in a compound full of mechanics and they sort of gave the GA16 of my little car a tune. Loved it when guys scratch their heads whenever i kept up with their civics and lancers back then😅😅😅
The B13 is by far the best generation Sentra followed by the B15... This is, as expected from a build on MotoIQ, top quality.
B15 either had an SR that didn’t rev…
Or didn’t have an SR. FAIL. :)
@@hotshtsr20 I liked the QR25DE from the se-r or spec-v , sure it had its issue but it was capable.
I owned a p10 g20t and b15 specv. Preferred the b15 . Loved the torque, short geared tranny and LSD from the b15.
@@warracer03 compared to the 7500rpm SR20, the QR was a bit of a wet splat. Torque was nice, but other than 1-3000rpm, not noticeably more than the SR. Open deck meant any boost was head gasket failures, where idiots like me pushed well over 400whp on completely stock SR20s ($300 at the JDM importers to boot!) with just cams, fuel and big turbo setups.
I’ve owned P10s (including the grey one in the background), B15, B14 and driven lots of B13s. B14 didn’t quite have the B13’s playful handling, but was considerably lighter and more tossable than a B15.
B14 is much better than the b15 imo 😊
I really love this update… waxing poetic about the old B13 really brings me back 20+ years ago
mike was a huge contributor in my 93 ser turbo build. so much respect for this gentleman.
Wow! Love this update. I really miss my B13. This video brings back lots of memories from the old SERCA days. I remember my first SERCA meet up where Martin took my B13/GTi-R for a drive and scared the absolute crap out of me. Miss all you guys!!
Martin and Mike - So nice to see you both still working on and loving B13s. Miss being part of the ownership group, but I remain always interested in these cars. Take care, guys!
I love my SR20DET NX2000. Spoke with Mike a few times when I was building it. I recreated the motoIQ 70v transmission mount for mine as well. Awesome video
this is a forever car with the time history and memories
As always love the story time from you guys!! Keep up the good work and hope to see you at the track soon!!
I have a 2 door autumn sunburst b14.
It was my first car and I’m never getting rid of it. In April I’m about to paint it and give it life again with a new suspension and Cat since I’m in California I can’t wait to drive it every day again
I really appreciate this video
I've got a 92 and 97 se-r both with the limited slip and 5 speed. The 97 used to be moms daily for 6 years. She loved it. Now I've had it for 17 years.
Oh man this takes me back! Mike is THE SE-R guru!
Excellent presentation. I bought my 91 SE-R on December 1990 after recommendations from Car and Driver. I bought a 1994 SE-R April 2005. I never regret having those.
"Fun to drive ".
Nothing like these cars.
Ive always been a Nissan guy, it wasnt until I bought a B14 Sentra that I realized why guys were into Sentras. I would love to see more SR content, especially covering what most guys do wrong and causes a lot of issues for others. Also the Roller Rocker setup
My gen 2 coyote 5.0 broke down on me and my buddy decided to let me borrow his b13 sentra ser. Boy did he made a mistake.. I fell in love with the legendary b13 ser and now it became my daily :) 5.0 is back and running but the looks I get in the Ser is priceless
I love this episode, I lived in the Islands when I was younger a few of my dads friends had fully built B13-B16 like all out track cars that looked like show cars or rallied and podium in the Western WRC event
so so nostalgic. I first know M. Kojima of Sports Compact Car magazine from owning my 97 200SX SE-R (with Neo VVL JDM engine swap). Sold the 2 doors to someone in Arizona when we have our first daughter. Ended up with a 07 Forester XT to haul the family. Part of my youth, no regret selling it though, the XT automatic has been mod to death and still reliably hauling our family of 4 in 2023.
I had the honor of meeting Mike at a sr20dr Sentra meet in the early 2000’s. He helped to tune my engine at a Dino meet. Miss those days. Thanks for the great memories.
GREAT video Mike and Martin!
I jumped into the B14 chassis with the 200sx SER in 98' before jumping into the B15 SER Spec V in '02 which I still have w/ 64k chassis miles and 32k engine miles. Car is running like a dream and I will never get rid of it! I know MIke hates the Spec V with the intensity of 1000 suns 😁.....The good ole days when Mike was doing a B15 Spec V build which I would like to see you guys do. What better way to go back to your roots!
Absolutely my favorite gen!! Saw a couple today and immediately got nostalgic. Sport Compact Car did a SER build on this baby back in the day 🥰 talk about goosebumps!
I've been following since the Nissan Performance Mag days, cool to take a trip down memory lane.
Love this! Mike was my instructor at the convention in Alabama…early 2000s? My first track event!
Love that you guys showed love to the B13. Wish you would have done a video on the red b15 that Mike had from a while back but I know that that red b15 was sold too.
Thing is so rad!! As always killer content
Awesome to see the SE-R Love.
Can't wait to see more on the B14 and I might have to steal the idea on the rods. I never thought about it lol
My very first car in 1999 was a 98 GXE sedan automatic. Was planning on swapping in an SR20DET and converting to manual. Then I crashed it and got a Honda del Sol. 20+ years later and I'm still into Hondas (still have the del Sol, also have an EK hatch), but I still appreciate those B13 and B14 Sentras and 200SX's.
Had a 2001 Sentra SE and was part of SERCA myself👍 Good Times😎
Mad respect to you guys love the videos.. My brother and I had a day driven project car a Black 1999 Nissan Pulsar Vzr in the sedan form which was rare compared to the hatchback in our area with skyline front brake caliper when we bought it someone already swapped the SR16 for the 20VE but later found out the SR16 was aggressive than the 20VE and the stock ECU was trying to rev the 20VE the same way but the cam profile was so different it lost alot of mid range power.. we swapped in some 16 cams which helped but ultimately had to tune it.. a Nistune daughter board and external tipper some port matching saw 198 to 200 at the wheels 8300 Redline 90% of peak torque between 2000 to 2500 and peak at 7200 RPM very flat torque band.. it was a riat 15 years ago
SR16ve featured the n1 high profile lift cams the SR20 cams weren't so aggressive
I currently own a 2001 Infiniti G20 im swapping the block at the moment but i love them the sr20 is great!🙏
Thanks Martin and Mike for some sr20 talk! We need to get the band back together soon.
Just picked up a 1994 B13 Sentra coupe. It's an XE with the ga16de manual trans, but knowing me....an SR is in its future. Sourcing parts now for full nx2000 brake conversion (rear disc conversion too) and looking into suspension options. My first car was a b12 sedan and I always wanted a b13 coupe. Finally got one and it's clean and almost totally rust free. I can't wait to give this thing the love it deserves and it will become my new daily.
Just met mike at super lap last week learning from him was huge in building my ve91nx2000
Can’t wait for the b14 love the Chanel❤
Looking forward to the B14 SE-L project. Still got my red SE-L in the garage with a t3/t04e turbonetics turbo.
I had the ga16de. I was also in SERCA and met Mike because of my Nissan. He helped me throw on my KYB AGX and GC coil overs. He also helped me bump the timing and throw on a hotshot header and place racing CAI. I fell in love with cars becuase of my Nissan. As of now, im in the EJ255 gang lol
Mike I remember the Disco Potato Sentra that you guys built back in the late 90s and was some what of a Garrett R&D program with the GT2860RS
The Sport Compact Car days made B13/14 chassis a viable track car platform option. Especially with all the crazy ideas from Mike and Dave. With dets from a Bluebird or Avenir, the fwd SR was an affordable swap.
Great times for motorsports compared to now.
I still remember the cam comparison articles in SCC magazine way back in the late 90s/early 2000s....
More Sentra SE-R content pls! After the sr20forum hasn't been the same, it's difficult to find fwd sr20 content on the internet
Absolutely fantastic build! Love this car from day 1! Question- when you used the P12 20V header primaries on the P11- did you use the original O2 sensor from the P11 or the P12? Wondering because I’m going to be using the same exact header and going to buy a new O2 sensor- freshen things up- want to know which one to buy! Such an awesome build! 😄🤙🏼
I had a buddy back in the day with a B13 SEr. Fun car..and quick.
We had a 91' b13 2door with a 1.6l, what a great vehicle and got well over 300k b4 we sold her in good running condition.
Love it. I've had a B13, VE B14 and P11... Now a Q50 haha love it
I just met the new owner of this car today. He works at the shop next door to mine. I happen to be there on my day off and I heard that thing rev, holy crap guys it sounds insane!!!! Small world.
Damn! My first car was an XE B13 Sentra '91, amazing car, had it for 13 years
that motor refresh is a unicorn. can you pls feature the g20 (p10) next; interested on the refinements that made it onto the car.
Love this car...in Mexico right now thinking differently about all of these tsurus I am seeing.
91-94 Sentra was the best year of the Sentra for me
I had a 93 SE-R... I still miss it.
Thank you all! Great car, great story!
How about the B14 and its bad stock suspension?) Love the look of the B14 haha... I have one with the N15 Pulsar front end swap.
Maxima rear end for the us with the 200sx b14, not that bad just tall but a sporty soft, still very Nissan, the b15 was gross 🤢
very nice vid. our friend aka one of our nissan gurus Sir Tevs sent us this link. :)
How is Tevs doing?
@@motoiq doin great in his car shop. Lots of customers especially nissan enthusiasts. A very well known, respected car lover and mechanic here. 🙂
That's great, we fell out of touch and was hoping he would return one day,
@@motoiq for sure he will be reading this. and for sure he misses you guys out there and the car scene 😉
Ooooo they put a 20ve in with N1s and H series rods😍🥰
And it had buddy club p1 like wheels.
I have a P11 with a factory 20ve, 16ve rocker cover and buddy culb p1s also a manual swapped with an Autech n15 gearbox. Going to give the kelfords N1/p12 hybrid cam a go
My dad loved the b13, used to have many until he got rear-ended with his last one and insurance wouldn't let him buy anything back, including the wheels he kept thought-out moving countries and everything. They were called "sunnys" for us. I'll buy one back again but so difficult to find!
I once had a 4-door '94 Sentra Limited Edition that had a full SE-R swap. I miss it everyday.
I’ve been waiting for this series last great Nissan Sedan
Very nice SE-R. Another car I have seen in the background that I am a fan of since High School. Is a yellow 76 Corolla SR-5 . Looks like the one Scottie Kanemura owns. It is gorgeous. Is that Scottie's car? Love your channel and the knowledge you share.
He used to own it.
@@motoiq whoever bought has a premier example of that year SR-5. As nice as that green original 73 out there in LA also.
This was great. More b-Chassis sr20 content please. Got me thinking about Feal Suspension.
Feal is the best suspension for the chassis.
@@motoiq my only regret is that while japan had the gti/gti-r for b13 in jdm market there was no b13 coupe
@@motoiq there is also a sr16ve n1 spec engine
@@motoiq love the fact that u have the facelifted nissan sunny gts front bumper
My mom had a 94 infinity G20 touring when I was a kid, which I think is basically the same as the SE R and that's what I learned to drive on and it was the s*** I didn't realize how awesome it was until later but even as a kid we had 5 acres and we lived out in the middle of nowhere in Arizona and I used to get that thing up to 70 mph on this track I built in my backyard and it was just such a freaking awesome car and it was all stock cuz I didn't know about modding cars back then but it was so nondescript but it had that great engine. You could get them with manual transmissions. It had a limited slip differential stock and since it was an infinity it had all the nice stuff too like leather and a nice audio system and stuff and it was just a great car. I think we put like a quarter million miles on it before someone crashed into us and it got totaled
Would love too see videos of the B14 build
I know this is old now, but the header to get for the SR20DE was a 4-1 made by AEBS. It had some fitment challenges but freed up the most power. My buddy got his header in 1999 and had just the pop charger and Greddy SP exhaust. His car felt very strong and was equal to my 99 Civic Si with bolt ons.
The rarest header.
very cool. i had dreams of putting an sr20 in my 88 pulsar even though it had the rare ca18 in it, i was too young and poor to keep a project car like that 🤧🤧🤧
yes please do the g20t!
B13 for life
Back in 1991 this car was arguably King of Compacts. In the states anyways.
I was living in Peru and we have a B13 club down there. Mine was a 2014. I had made a center console that fits a 9 in screen like stocks and I had made some new trailing arms for the rear. Anyway I can show you my car so you guys can tell me how it looks?
Loving the fwd SR20 stories, how about an update on the P10?
I had a b13 ser sr20det swap..from a primera..putting down 270 hp..was a fun fun car. I miss it
i miss my 93 se-r SO BAD. got t-boned 5 months after getting it. totaled. i was planning on dropping a bluebird in it
My step dad had that exact car that he drove to work everyday, it was a totaled loss he bought from insurance, my brother got it and totaled it again, I bought an 05 spec v and it was the funnest car I ever had
Genting Legend 💪🏻
Mike wrote articles about installing Jim Wolf camshaft for the SR20DE in a B13.
Cant say i understood what you guys were saying lol
Dad was the mechanic, and i was tge carpenter, thank GOD i was learning a little.
Gr8 Video. And sound like regular guys in your voices...
Sounds like you may have close or better than 30,000.00 in that car after ur purchase LOL
And again i really i joyed the Vid..
GOD Bless😇😁😇
Please do a video on the p10 racecar
How about a new review of the 300ZX TT? It's been a while since I've read the old sport compact car magazines. I'd love to hear how the old metal compares to the newer Z's and supra.
I'm such a fanboy of Mike and SCC and MotoIQ - I have the same eyeglasses. (lol just a coincedence)
Yes! More FWD Nissan content inbound!
Was lucky enough to have a B13 SE-R as my first car. I'd love to get another some day but man are they getting hard to find.
In the USA unfortunately, but in Mexico or Chile they are bargain and everywhere. You can at least import almost the whole car as spare parts from Mexico.
Could you guys do vids in more B13 suspension upgrades or tweaks ?
Love the b13, any update on the honda ep3?
My first car🥰
chassis related to the Nissan Pulsar GTiR right, those were turbo 4wd
looking around to fine a b13 or b14 myself for a street daily driver
The term ricer came from R.I.C.E. (Racing Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements) and refers to the "tuner" car culture which inspired 'Fast & Furious'.
Ahh the se-r net meet in cypress CA 2000
Hey, is that the blue b13 from the background!?
A video on the G20 would be class or Mike's B14
You kept this secret for so long!
Whats that blue B13 in the background....
Do you guys still do this setup
long live SPORT COMPACT CAR!!
We Have the same car and engine! 😍🔥
i using it with ga16ds (converted with eccs type intake manifold, standalone ecu + coil on plug dist.less ign.). i loved this video thank you for it. and i have a question, i need a 4-2-1 headers for my ga16 how i can get engineered brand like a obx or hotshot as online in this time? and i need ad22vf front calipers could you help me b13 uncle! thank you
OBX is chinese junk stolen from Hotshot. Hotshot is no longer in business.
Wish you would do one like this on that nice G20 in the back :P
Such a handsome car like the ae86. Makes u wonder if they couldnt just update the safety and keep the design
Are y’all available for vehicle services. I have a plan, and I like what y’all do.
92 SE-R was my 1st car. Blew the motor smh. 20 years later wanted another one but couldn't find one. Ended up with a 95 240sx
miss seeing b13s on the street... great looking car.... nissan should bring something like this back, same look, same proportions, 160-200hp 4 cyl and keep the price low
....if you build it, they will come
