Thread: SE-R back from the dead... (More Pics added!...)

I got my 92 sentra recently for next to nothing but it needs alot of work for me to bring her back to life. This is my first front wheel drive import. Im use to american v8 cars but I plan on using the sentra as a daily drive while i finish the twin turbo setup on my mustang. When i got the SE-R, it was sitting on the rotors in the middle of a cow pasture lol. Im guessing people were stealing parts off it because it is missing quite a few things like the ignition coil. Here are some pics of my work in progress.

I have finished rewiring the ecu(the car use to have e-manage on it). I have replaced the spark plugs and wires, and will be getting a new distributor cap and rotor today. I had to order a lower radiator hose which should be here today.

I do need a bit of help. If anyone would be so kind as to help me by taking a pic of the plug for the ignition coil so that i can see the wire colors I would greatly appreciate it. I have a red and white wire and no plug. I guess somebody cut it off when they were stealing the coil.



I have an EGR temp sensor plug that is the exact same plug in for the coil. I just need to wire it up and dont want to fry a $60 coil.

After a little work today, I got it to start up and run but it still needs some work. The clutch isnt engadging correctly and makes a pretty bad noise. When I have more time ill pull the tranny and take a look at the clutch.

Btw, here are some pics of what I have to work with here lol. The guy I got it from use to race the car so I had to wire up relays and switches for ign, acc, and the starter. And had to rewire part of the ecu.









He said it had some kind of different steering wheel.

This is my brother, I own the white B14 in the background of one of the pics, we plan to pull the tranny tonight or this weekend and figure out the rest.

Wish us luck on bringing this classic back to life.

Sweet Post!
Keep the pics coming along with the progess you make.
Good Luck.
