b13 or b14? What should I do...
Well in the next couple of months my bro is going to buy another car and wants to give me his car for 500, which I can pay off like 20-30 bucks a month or whatever I want.

B13:
  • Has f'd up caster, tires hit the back fender well when turning (may be control arm bushings, replacing tmw to be sure)
  • GA16 brakes (have SE-R everything, just need to swap)
  • Missing exhaust manifold stud (have replacement, need to weld out old one)
  • 5th gear pop out
  • Has a sunroof (good)
  • 130k miles and WELL maintained since I got it
  • 5k miles on the clutch

B14:
  • No sunroof
  • cleaner interior (If I clean it)
  • He didn't maintain it very well
  • Only mods are pop filter and muffler
  • 180k miles
  • All gears
  • No A/C (compressor is out)
  • alignment is out
  • Needs a clutch soon, slips if you shift too fast

What do you guys figure I should do? I could always buy a 5th gear pop out kit and fix my car all up or get his car? Difficulty of doing any work is not a problem as I can do anything to this car myself its more of whats better to get...

B14 no sunroof is hard to find..... OBDII tuning is a pain in the ass, hell if u were closer id buy the B14 as is.... B13 as long as it has no cancer would be great plus there are plenty of tuning options

So you own a B13 SE-R with GA16 brakes, and your brother wants to sell you the B14? If you bought the B14, what would you do with the B13?

Stick with the B13 I say. But that's only because I wouldn't be caught dead in a jelly bean.

Have them both, swap all the good parts into whatever car you want to keep and sell the other as parts or as a fixer .... Dang I just sold a 200SX SE-R shell , no motor or trans or suspension for $200 ...

I love both body styles. But I like the real of a b13 more. I would keep one for a project and have a nice daily with the other. Or one turbo car one all motor

Well more than likely I would be forced to sell one.. I would love to own 2 cars again because there is nothing like being able to choose which car you want to drive that day lol hmm... I can always turbo my sentra like I've always wanted to... Or sr20ve it, which ever is cheaper.

Also he has a dent on the bottom left side right under the brake light that was recent and makes the trunk not look right
