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

"Third gear sucks!" LOL

I thought about going with a 240 not that long ago, but I opted to keep the sentra because it's cheaper and will still give lots of smiles to me and looks of terror to passengers. In the end it's your decision. I love the chassis and engines available, but everyone seems to have one too.

Again the RB would not be stock and once the motor is done and in we are talking 500whp range on pump and 700+ on c16.

Its actually not bad, I can get a non running coupe for 800.00 locally.
Motor with everythign for the swap is 1800.00
Intake manifold with fuel rail is 400.00
MSD injectors 350.00
Turbo manifold custom made locally, $350
T76 turbo with Tial wastegate $800.00
Fuel pump, $200
Clutch to hold the power $800
Radiator with twin flexalites $400

Thats the main parts. After the motor goes in i will be saving for a full build on it which from what i priced out would be around $2500 without cams and valve springs. Looking at $3500 or so for a full build on it.

Again i do all my own work and have more than enough knowledge to perform the swap, have the custom A/C lines made locally to have full working a/c and keep it comfortable but yet rediculously fast. lol

oh and i remember a few years back when you couldnt even get pistons for those motors without getting them straight from Japan. lol Now a build and parts for them is galore and fairly inexpensive.

exactly as well, everyone has one. But thats why i wanted to make mine kinda unique with that swap, stock looking outside and inside such as hidden guages and all that jaz, maybe a good suspension at the most thats good for drag.

I just feel people are gonna give me those stupid questions. Do you drift? Oh so you drift. NO thats not why i want the car. I want the car because parts are cheap, its a good chassis, and rwd is better for drag racing, haha

sounds like your sold on doing it. why not keep the sentra and then do the s13

in a way yes, but im sure you can imagine how hard it will be to get rid of the sentra. Im still in the undecisive mode. I know what i want to do with the car if i get it that im sure of. But still unsure if i want to do it and go through with it. Its gonna be a very very hard decision as im sure you can only imagine.

I dont have the funds for two cars. Its one or the other.

Have you seen this? An option, half the battle IMO. Hell you could put your current motor and run 10's.

well basicly my car is set up for drag, the suspsension other than traction bars its basicly a straight line car, My car weighs nothing, lol. Especially since it doesnt have a cage. I love the fact that it doesnt in a way because it still makes it very very streetable and give it some comfort getting in and out.

I think i will be in debate about it up until the point it actually goes down as far as my decision goes. Who knows. If i hit a rediculously low time at the track next time out after i get the rest of the mods done it might exite me up even more to keep it.

Dont get me wrong i love the car and i really dont want to get rid of it. Its my first love as far as cars go. Very very difficult decision.

iv had this same question cross my mind multiple times.

and I come back into the same conclusion. I have a very nice car and iv put alot of money into it and now ima sell it for dirt cheap to jump into the S13/S14 game? When its a mission to find a clean S13/S14 that hasn't had its life slid or been crashed?

I said F it! My car is my pride and joy no way im giving it up to start back from square one with a car that's all bang up with more miles that my chassis has.

Don't forget new timing belt/tensioner/idler pulley and water pump ohh engine management PFC or Z32 ech with Nistune board, Drive shaft, Skyline cross member if your motorset doesn't come with one. If you get the Neo RB25 you get a way better head with mechanical lifters vs the hydro ones. Honestly $1800 for a RB25 sounds too good to be true. They usally fly for $2400.
