As long as your timing isn't advanced you will be fine w/ regular....it is a Sentra afterafter

Sugar always helps too

how much is the b14 timing degrees set to? 8 degrees, and if you advance it is 15 the best to go plus filling up with premium fuel? thanks

The stock timing on the 1.6 engine is set at 10 +/- 2. 15 is probably the highest you should go and yes you MUST use premium.

it says that you have it timed to 17 degrees isnt a little too much, and how much should i advance if im not sure whether its higher than 10 by 2 degrees or lower than 10 by 2 degrees? kinda confusing

That is because my se-r has the sr20de engine while your car has the ga16.

You can find out w/ a timing light. You can buy one for $40-80 at a car parts store or you can have a mechanic do it for about $35. Just tell them you want it set at 'x' degrees.

I'm not the most knowledgable as far as the ga16 engine, do a search of the boards and I'm sure you will find much more information. I know someone has a webpage showing detailed instructions (and pictures) of how to adjust your timing.
