Rust
I just looked at my sister-in-law's '98 Sentra and found rust under the front passanger door hinge. Is this a common problem area with B14 owners? She said she had it there once before and it was "fixed" by the local dealer.
My B13s has rust under the trunk weather seal and I know NXs have a tendancy to rust at the A-pillars.
These are cars who spends their lives in tropical climate with no road salts to deal with.
I live in winnipeg, Manitoba canada, with hardcore road salt all over the damn place. 1600 NX: A Pillar rust fixed with cut and weld. Top of each wheel well fixed same. Now, the door sills both sides, and the rockers at the rear wheel wells. Nuts! My goal is to get this car off the road for next winter and drive a beater of some kind.
I live in Cleveland, and I have an NX2000. We get a ton of road salt here too, and sometimes I think we would be better off with out it. My car has only seen 3 winters now, and its rusting right below the trunk latch and right above the bumper where it hinges to the inner fender. Thing that gets me is some where on the floor water is coming in and it leaves my mats smelling awful and often wet, even in the middle of summer. Has anyone had this problem???
Here in Michigan, we got salt everywhere also. My left front door jam between the upper and lower hinges on the body, and lower left center door pillar I got a fair size spot. I've driven my car 8 winters now and try to rinse it off when ever I get a chance. But considering where I live, my car is in a lot better shape than most cars on the road of comparable years, including Detroit Iron.
i dont have any rust as of yet . but someone backed into my car a couple of months ago resulting in me buying another trunk lid. but now my car leaks when it rains almost submergin my spare . i cant seem to figure out were in the hell the water is getting in at around my trunk though
Living in snowey Canada near the lake brings lots salt onto the roads, I have the same problem as the other Nx's...*yeah i feel so much better knowing it's not the only one with these problems!
my front drivers wheel well is starting to rust along with the rockers, and the hatch right around the light in the wing is starting to rust...

Hey fox - I've got about $1200CDN of rust work to do next year - booooo. The only true solution is to get a winter car - I'm going to try and have one for next season so I can keep the NX garaged and rust free - hoping to pick up a Suzuki Samurai (my other automotive passion)....

Cool product. I though about using something like this. In fact, looks like my battery tray on their website:
And this is what they claim it will look like after?
Coolness!
yeah its the last winter for mine... just the other day she got bumped by another sentra, no damage though but there were tears ! that product could be awsome it makes me wonder though....
