I know the obvious answer but I figured I'd ask ... Heres my situation , I curerntly have a 1997 Sentra GXE , fairly nice car , I have put a ton of work andm oney into this car to get it to stock and a little higher (no performance mods) and until that time I really hadn't read into much about Nissan's , but now that I read into it I think that it would have been more prudent to look for a 200SX SE-R to have some fun with. So as of late I have been searching high and low for the perfect SE-R , still no luck tho , the only nice one was sold about 2 hours before I called . So basically my question is , should I keep searching for a 200SX SE-R and hope to eventually find it , put the work into it to get it running back to normal or should I just be content with my little Sentra ?
long winded but I got to the point

if u can find an se-r than go for it.. still be content with the lil sentra for it not as weak as some people say it has alot of potential and some spunk with a lil work as well.

any suggestions on wut to work on in my lil sentra ?
If you could find one I would recommend the Sentra Se 98-99, all of the go of the se-r just a little lower on the insurance/police radar. To top it off most of the people that have them don't really know what they are, mine had 56k on it and bought it from a 45 year old guy for $4800 Try walking away with a Se-r for that much with less then 60k.
On a side note, if your car is payed off sell all that heavy stereo stuff, and save up for a SR20DET from somewhere like JGY customs.

if you're looking for high performance, id stick with the sentra and just swap in a DET
if you just want something that's nice but can still pack a little punch, like Liu said...there are things that can be done to your GA16 that will make you more happy with the performance

Any cheap performance mods for my GA16 that I can get ? if I am not gonna get a 200 then I have about 1000 kickin around to put into my car ... some nice hp boosters would be cool but anything at all would work
I am running a completely stock engine except for some small cosmetic work that I did.
Just give a price range. Cheap and effective don't really go hand in hand in japanese cars, but... there is something that can be done in any price range. As the saying goes, fast-cheap-quality: you can only have 2.
I'm actually looking at B14's right now myself. I probably won't buy until after December, but I'm looking at what kind of japanese sport-compact type of car I can replace my aging B13 with for 6-9k. I'm basically only considering SR20 Nissans because I have no intentions of going turbo and/or performing an engine swap on my daily driver. (I'm considering: used 3rd gen integras, 2001+ Protege ES's, 2001+ Corollas, 6th gen celicas, B14 Sentra SE, 200SX SE-R, and I suppose I'd consider a GA16 200SX if I found one in mint condition. I'm ideally looking for something with a nice interior, 4 wheel discs, 4 wheel independent suspension, and a strong/durable 4 banger with a bit of NA potential.) Haha sorry for the boring rant, I must be a bit tired...

I think everybody, except one or 2 people, is missing the fact that you can get a B14 Sentra with the SR20de. You don't have to get the 200sx to have an SR20. The Sentra SE or SE-L is the same thing as an SE-R except you get four doors and loads more room. Oh yeah, and when you line up next to someone in an SE-R they know what's under the hood (at least an SR20). You roll up in a 4-dr econobox and blow their doors in, that will surprise the hell outta them.
