I had a SE-R in 97 till 2k then I went to a DSM awd turbo, then went to a RWD turbo S13 and then to a S14. Then I got bored and picked up the NX2k and played with it too much. Now I just want to sell it get some of my money back and get a P10. I want to blow all my money on the S14 now.

The Sentra SE-R (B13) really is a great car, as is any Sentra. I have owned my fair share of Sentras over the years. In fact I have owned anything other then a Sentra.

Every great memory of my adult life has a Sentra in it, whether it be a family holiday or actually out driving. The Sentra is much more then a car to me, I attribute my relationship to having a pet. Sometimes you hate having a pet but most times you love it. The Sentras over the years have been my mechanical compainion. No matter hell or high water I know anytime I turn that key it will put a smile on my face.

I own 4 Sentras and 1 NX right now and eventually will just keep the 2 non-rusted SE-Rs and the NX and get rid of the rusty cars.

Over the years I have probably put enough money in these little cars to buy a house, a newer sports car and still have some money left over but I wouldn't do anything differently.

I truly think these cars will be my lifes work and my defenition of sucsess is walking out to my garage and seeing a sea of cars.

You guys have good points that these toy cars really can shape one's lives. Personally, I got into cars becuz I couldnt afford getting ripped off buy some mechanic that could care less about my car. Back in '98 I had bunch of friends into Hondas. Back then I had a 92 integra ls. I started learning about all the things u can do to it while replacing parts and it even made me change my college major to manufacturing engineer. I ended up in aerospace after I graduated and even worked 3 years at NASA! When I look back, it's pretty crazy! I ended up wit a s13 for a while and got a 04 mazdaspeed miata brand new. I've been eyein the b13 se r for some time and finally bit the bullet after a few years. Now that I have a house, the fun starts all over again! Lots of good info on this board!

I do miss my first B13, if the guy didn't want 3 times of what I sold it for I might have gotten it back. oh well, I've been DD'ing the Pulsar for the last 2 weeks and love it!

Been riding in B13/14 for almost 15 years. I'd love to buy back the last one I had or another really clean one.

I stared out with a 94 sentra Xe limited edition. that car was bad ass while in high school but i soon found out there was no hope for an automatic. I grew up in Ft. Luaderdale Fl and around a bunch of Jamacins that all ran Nissans so I always felt like fuck a honda. Bought a S13 while in college but never had the money to put it in the game. Now that Im a bit more established I have another crack at the car i always wanted. b13 sentra se-r. Like i said earlier As long as I have garage space and can afford the hobby Ill keep the b13.

I was just thinking about this very subject as I celebrate 10 years since buying my first B series chassis, my cars are going nowhere. If anything I will buy more...

To keep it short...

Until it's undrivable. Wether it be that I can no longer drive, or its crushed in some way.

But longer version-
Got my B13 4door XE 5speed as my high school graduation gift from my parents; Sort of, since I later payed them for the cost of the car. I've had it for a year and a half now, and just recently got rear ended at about 30mph but its still my daily and I'm waiting for my $ to pull the trunk and fix the crack in the frame rail.
Other than that thanks to this community I came to love my Nissan and have even bought another B13, 92 NX
Like I said, I'll drive them until I cant anymore. No plan on ever selling.

Too much pride, money, and time invested to make it worth anyones offer.
