Thread: Torn on what to do. B13 or S13 READ!!!

You could always do the fabled AWD conversion. Then you'd be FWD AND RWD. I personally would love to build an S13 fastback, or a Z, preferably Z32, but Z31 is cool too. It makes me sad that as cool as my B13 may ever be, I can never slide the tailend without the e-brake.

That being said, you'll regret selling your B13 the moment you sign the title over. You've put so much effort into that car for so long and you're not even done (even though your current power is obscene as it is). Start on an S13 if you want, but don't get rid of your Sentra. I've only had my B13 6 mo and it's been a pain in the ass, but I don't think I'll ever get rid of it, I love it too much already.

exactly, thats the biggest part. I regret selling my first se-r. Matter fact because i sold it it ended up in the end costing me a lot of financial hardship. lol.

I sold it to fix up a car we bought to resell and ended up trading that car in for my Mazdaspeed protege that ended up going into repossesion and cost me 15k for a car i dont even own. lol. Had i kept my original se-r i would have never bought the msp. lol. Oh well live and learn. That was a long time ago.

Yeah i told myself i would never get rid of this for any other reason than we finantially were in crisis and i had to. Other than that hell no.

I think im gonna stick to that promise i made to myself.

And yes i should be deeeeep into the 10's, hopefully around a 10.1 or so @140+ when the weather cools down into the 60's in the evenings and after an additional 80whp or so once done. And yes i daily drive it every single day. Gotta love it.

If it were me Id just step up into an S2000 for big boost. You wont have to build the motor. All youll have to do is put in a thicker headgasket and walla...a motor thatll take 600whp on the stock block. Plus Nice 240's are going for too much nowadays to even be worth it to me. Youll be replacing every bushing on the car, every rusty bolt ect.

Going fast is cool ashton. But its nice to have something that isnt always falling apart somehow also.

well my car isnt falling apart, and your right, sometimes newer cars are the way people are going now a days. I have every bushing basicly replaced in my car and the street ride is pretty good. The gc coilovers are a bit stiff comfort but they do the job on the dragstrip and in the corners. So yeah i think im just going to keep on going with the sentra.

i would keep the ser, i like s13s 14s and 15s, but since drifting has became so popular and people beat the **** out of them its hard to find a decent bodied s13/14 that hasnt been wrecked, rusted out,beat to **** ect. with that being said, because it is such a good option for drifting, the price of the car have a ungodly the taxed priced just because of that, which IMO is stupid.

to me the ser is more of a rarity, you dont see alot of ser's out there esp ones that are nice, built and fast the ser just to me seems more appealing becuause not everyone is doing them, they are also hard to find in good shape,good condition ect which makes me like them too...

Ashton I was talking about it you got a 240. Not your Sentra. Id keep the Sentra if I was you. I still have my NX and I wont ever sell it most likely.

Why not take your uber-fast B13 to a whole nother level?

Aesthetics. A high quality suspension. Interior. AC. Cage your chassis. Bad ass paint job. P11/B15 tranny w/cryo treated shot-peened gearstack (you need it, LOL).

Make it not just "one of the fastest street B13's", but one of the fastest and nicest overall?

Well i still plan to clean it up. Again having A/C and full interior is not my idea of a clean street car. I do plan to do some asthetics. Difuser on the rear bumper, Sunny 4 fog bumper without the fog lights to cover up the front more and look nicer, CF hood with Evo 8 hood vent, Custom cooling panel and grill for the front to fill back in where i cut the support out and make it nice and sharp looking but yet functional, Powdercoated valve cover, braided catch can lines to a 4 line catch can made by T1 racing (popular for honda applications), Tint the windows, Wire wheel the glue off the floor inside and paint the inside. Make a nice CF guage panel to fill in the center console, and then probably last but not least a good quality Midnight blue paintjob.

I think after that i would be totally set with the car as far as looks with performance goes. Im not totally set on caging the car yet but im sure it will eventually come. Again i dont do enough drag racing at the track to really do it. I can have my fun and let off to not get the boot, and then at the end of the night or whenever i chose do a full out run and get the boot. They wont keep you from coming back and running again without the cage. You pay them money they let you run that night until you run too fast of a time or trap speed.

Ive got some plans for sure. Oh btw Shawn already mentioned the P11 trans is on the way lol. It sucks not having 4th gear. One of my most fun gears on low boost because its the first gear i dont just blow the tires off. lol

Keep the B13 and add to the collection if the wife does not mind lol. Go the full limit like Shawn said. I'm going to. I plan on running A/C, Power Steering, and Full Interior. So if I take the car on a meet 2 hours away or so in the summer, I will have A/C lol. We still got to get BJ to make those manifolds with all the accessories bro. Don't bale on me yet lol. I'm saving up for one.

lol, hell no, ive made my decision. There is soo much starting to happen in the fwd crowd. I dont think i could leave the b13 behind, its such a fun car to drive. I drove the car 3 hours to go dyno, dynod, went around town to eat, and then drove the car back home 3 hours. I love it and its definetly comfortable enough to do it.
