No I did not know you were on line no I am not angry with you in any way. I am giving you mad props, when it comes to love you are "the skys the limit" I just wish I had friends with your B12 ability. I am not a enemy maker please forgive me if I offended you or anybody that is reading this post, sorry. I'm just a toad prince that wishes he has a nice B12 too. -87
No offense taken. No problems, no need to be a toad. First, I'm a little mad here, whats the deal with the steering wheel and arm rest in the console, I don't have those? And your dash and glove box area on the pass side is different. I want one.Honestly, I don't have alot of time to type out all of the posabilities for your car. There are several. You are correct, that is a fine specimen of a B12, no need to let it go to waste. Other options have been discussed in other posts. Take your time reading through them. There are many. Instead of replacing the carb again, I would go all out on the CA18DET swap, or at least the CA18DE. Several people have successfully completed this swap and have had zero issues with the custom mods that Charles, Mario, and I had to do with the SR20's. After you have read up, please feel free to ask any specific questions. When I get back in town in a week or so, I'll be more than happy to discuss specifics. Take care and good luck. BTW, sorry, for the misunderstanding, no hard feelings.
John

Really power buiding is not what I was after (unlike most people) I was told by Nissan that the carbs were just plain bad. After seeing the E16i to E15t swap on an 88 B12, I said cool. I just wanted a fuel injected motor. If both cost the same and the same amount of effort has to be expended to install them why not get the 100hp E15t instead of the 70hp E16i. No I am not a radical out there dropping VG30tt and Chevy big-block V-8's into a Sentra, even a SR20 or CA18 is way too much for me. I want a motor that will mount directly up to the pre-existing tranny. I had seen your pics and was dazzled back to the old days when my car was nice and ran nice. I allways wished I had wheels but I never bought any. Considering I have a whopper mortgage, a B15, and an A33 I do not have much money to spend on trail and error, it will have to be right the first time. My family tells me to junk that old thing but I insist not to adhere to their silly demands. I was just saying in my own crazy way that guys like you inspire me to keep this old relic and fix it up! I do not hate any of you so just be cool. I was not ragging on you because of your pals having the ability to work on cars, I see this as a plus because those are the kinds of things I am interested in. I have no group of B12 fanatics here, I am on my own. Bummer but true.
I love you car skilled guys, I am a car dufus.
But the dealer said that only the E motors would mount directly up to the tranny. So this would be easy for my car to accept. Actually the E15t was cheaper than the E16i and has 30 more hp. I had done a bit of basic research on it but none on the 1.8 and 1.8t I just know that the 1.8 was in the 89-90 USA Pulsars and the 1.8t was in the EXA Pulsars that is it. Man this car needs two new axles, a new o2 sensor, a new cat, and a new carb. I just wanted fuel injection instead of this carb. The B12 needs a doctor, is there a doctor in the house? I wanted to sell it in 1994 but not a soul would pay $3,000.00 for it with 56k miles hell I paid $3,000.00 for it with 50k miles on it and put 6k on it. I live 5 miles from my job that is 10 miles a day. This is odd my play brother's name is Jon i'v known him since 1982. Your dash looks different? I thought they all looked the same? ! I will try to find this shop in VA. Thank you for, DAGGIT I just got caught on line this girl instant messages me to death man why did I not set it to appear offline UUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHH. I gotta run fast! LOVE YOU GUYS, I'll hit you back Nissmo Driver. NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO she just got me ooooouuullyyghh! #@!#$%^&(*)_+=!!!!!!!
I can help. The fat one is yours, send the other two my way ;o)

Yeah whats up with your dash!!?! You got all sort sof the cool gadgets and widgets, that my car doesnt have!
You also got a Tach, and the cool steering wheel. I would buy your car just because we need a third vehicle at my house, but Maryland to Calgary is a bit too far and the best i could do is $2800 Canadian.
Its defintently the Sentras. My B12 with chrome hubcaps always gets the chicks...
Speaking of which, have any of you guys realized that the B12 forum is a major sausage fest (sorry for the American Pie 2 quote ). Come on, theres got to be at least one girl with a B12!
I had so get off line because they were killing me, imagine (5) instant message windows open and blinging you all at once. They all signed in one after another. Your car is the same as mine, I think. No I think yours is different, you've got the motorized seat belts cool. Another guy quoted this was a "Sausage Fest" by golly I think he's right. I know some hot babes with some hotB12's, but they all got used so they were already hooked up. I saw on today sweet black with no tags it was stolen sitting behind a garage in D.C. some streets are notorious for abandoned stolen cars in D.C. I wish I could have stripped it, I know it was fuel injected. All GXE & SE models have a 4 prong steering wheel, and all GXE & SE models have tachometers. SE steering wheel is always black leather, GXE steering wheel is always grey foam. Even today this is still the same. I fogot to mention my chrome dipped gas door $30.00 this is a "mod" too. Excuse the manifold and the down pipe in the trunk, had no other place to put it. Besides I have to remove the header anyway. Once you fail smog they fully inspect you exhaust system for any tampering. Though it passed smog before it still has got to be removed because they will be looking for it to be full stock, they only check when you fail though. I am going to do an engine swap with a tractor trailer. . . Guys, no props. . . C'mon there all turbos. Guys. . . uh guys, you all still with me. . . I think I hear crickets around me.
Hey Stud great picture site. You have got the f/i model I know it runs smooth. I have a SE coupe this guy in D.C. was going to sell me an SE hatchback for $500.00! Had 130k on it though but the car was sweet and ran like a kitten, I really could not hear the motor running. Car was is good condition too and very clean for it's year. You should see the dash kit on my B15, man this is a knock-out. Whoa I decided to keep the old budding hulk as a drive way orniment with the intent on fixing it up soon, I want to get the O.E. wheels chrome dipped too. But still smog plauges me. Lots of love to the B12 crews.
It runs nice except for the aweful automatic. The auto can never decide what gear is the best so it usually just stays in third.
I dunno, the f/i is a mixed blessing. It provides more power in stock form but since it is throttle body injected it limits what can be done with it. Im looking at upgrading to Mulitport Injection from a GA16DE (Sport Compact Car did it with a Honda is last months issue). And a stick shift form a CA18DE. Now if only i had money...
Sorry to piss in your cornflakes, but you're gonna have to go with a GA manual tranny. the CA family trannies will not bolt to a GA. Sorry bro. As for the head swap its not as straight forward as a honda. You're gonna need the new head including the timing sprockets, chains, tensioners, front cover, oil pan, intake and exhaust manifolds, wiring harness and ECU to run it all, which is going to require a bit of re-wiring. I have no doubt it can be done, but its not gonna be the worlds easiest chore.

"You might be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later, you dance with the Reaper."
Hey Sentra Stud, I would just keep the GA16i and I will tell you why. There is an intake pre-fabbed for your car, there is a front upper strut tower brace pre-fabbed for your car, there is a mass airflow sensor pre-fabbed for you car, there is a ECU performance program pre-fabbed for your car, there are front & rear sway bars for your car, there ais even a complete cat-back system all of this is prefabbed for 87-90 Sentra's. The dealer advises AGAINST dropping you car EVEN the Nismo suspension set up for the reason stated that this put more stress on the axle's C/V joint and causes them to pre-maturely burn out all of the bearing grease and start clicking. I had this set-up before through Nismo and I paid $1,500.00 installed, this was in 1992! I am on my third pair of axles (perfect boots with clicking joints) $600.00 an axle is kind of scary. So I paid about the same to get the O.E. ride setup re-installed $1,500.00 and now I still have to replace the clicking axles at $600.00 an axle and another maybe $150.00 per axle on labor. This is why I hoped that Nism Driver did not take offensively my gesture about having buddies that can help fix up a car with extensive Nissan knolege. I wish I had a chum that could do it and mentor me, because Passport Nissan is killing me regarless of how much money I make alot is spent on trail and error and at this point I feel as though I am waisting money. Look at these HIGH prices they are hitting me with if I could well, nevermind I even tried to buddy-up with a few of the Nissan techs in hopes they would consider some side work for GOOD ca$h they say "No if I get caught I will loose my job" Like Nissan is going randomly going out to the mechanics homes to see if they are working on F@CKING cars so they can fire them! Man please they need to quit!
Just crushed fifty more pushups, WHEW!
