here is the gap from outside tht i get wen i push it up



is this normal?


That, indeed, is not normal. I agree with an earlier comment, something is broken or just loose. Since ya have the headliner out, inspect the guides, etc. with the glass shut, popped up, and completely open (that is assuming it works). The moonroof adds weight, but if ya like the stars (or the sun) shining in while you're driving, then fix it. Other than that, make your cockpit comfortable first, in my humble opinion and if ya haven't yet, get some struts and springs, you'll enjoy driving much more.

cool thanks for the help man, and if i can get the sunroof fixed i would like to make my interior nice and ur right about the suspension, my car is bumpy has hell because the previous owner nvr changed the struts so it still has the factory ones and he put sleeve overs,the only bad thing is tht upgrading suspension is really expensive

No problem. Sometimes you can find a good deal on used spring/strut setups on the forum. Just keep an eye out and I hope your project goes smoothly.

Anything is possible, you seem to be in the right place and listening to good advice about fixing up your classic. If you like the Spec-V cluster why not just used amber LED bulbs in your stock cluster and save yourself the wiring nightmare.

I second this. Being the only one I know of that's done a B15 Spec-V cluster in a B14, I can tell you it was and still is a pain. Plus if you've got a cable speedo rather than electric.....ugh.....

^^ I agree with both previous statements. I pulled red bulbs out of my cluster because I didn't like the look personally. If ya want em, they're yours for the cost of shipping.

cause its not so much the colors tht i like tho, its the design and look of it, if its really tht big of a pain then i wont do it but i figured it wouldnt be too hard since iv seen an nx cluster in a b13, b14, b15 sentra and even a 240 and i thought tht would be a harder cluster to swap

Well, firstly it's a different shape and mounting pattern, and secondly there are still wiring gremlins about after I switched it over. Unfortunately they aren't plug-and-play, I've done alot of testing and research and trial to find out how the cluster works to adapt it. As of now, I still don't have the temp gauge working.
