Biggest problem is that all the Nissan front drive bodies twist like pretzels!
I've taken care of that by welding in subframe braces and fender braces. I have no rust but next step will be having the rocker panels foam filled, not only will it stiffen the chassis but also help prevent moisture in the rocker panels.
As for most other problems, the B13 Chassis is a great platform for easily accepting later model parts.
5th gear popout? Why not upgrade to a 2000+ P11 or 2004-2006 Spec V 6 speed. Emission garbage or timing chain tensioner? how about a SR20det, 2000 Avenir engines are nice. NX/Z32/maxima brakes,with Altima MC, hydraulic clutch upgrades, NX center console, pulsar window cranks, the choices are endless with a B13.
A few more years and the only B13 parts left on my SE-R will be the body.
