Thread: SE-R rarity question

So you guys got me thinking....started driving me crazy, loosing sleep and such. Looking up website to check and either found nothing or it stated they were manuals. Had the prior owners swap the transmissions??? When I bought both Sentras I was told they were originally auto.

So today I drove my ass 60 miles to the dealership!

@the dealership - As I parked a salesman approached me and said "Hey I use to own one just like that" We talked a bit and I explain to him my intentions to find the TRUTH! lol
Well he laugh and said "no such thing". Now hamster in my head started running again but I had to know.

Inside- The clerk inside was like "OMG my brother had an auto SE-R 15 years ago" We talked then I gave him my vin number for the 93 SE-R and he said "You got one!".
I then told him I had another one and he said "your kidding?" I proceeded to gave him the 94 SE-R vin and he said "You have two autos!"

Needless to say I left the dealership pretty happy.

94 SE-R Auto

Lol, that was neat you drove out to a dealership. I could have told you the news without that but it was a nice drive I bet. I use the VI numbers to keep them for parts or if someone is looking for some kind of OEM-specific part for his car. The B13 had a lot of changes throughout the years and since the NX is a B13, it provides a lot more fun to try and find parts for them.

Auto transmission nerd-out at the dealership.

Yeah I felt like a kid at Chuck E Cheese! People were looking at me funny.

I so know what you mean when it comes to the NX, hardest parts to find but when you do its glorious!

I know of a 1991 NX2000 automatic a friend has. I didn't realize they came in auto as well, thought it was just the 1.6's til '93 like the SE-R

Never knew that. That's odd Nissan went to that trouble, especially considering the low numbers for autos. I've seen two, one white, one red.

wow, this thread started to show a bit more steam than i thought, and there is a bit more information here than I thought i would see. here is the pictures of the car i was inquiring about, ill PM you the VIN

I'll probably get blown up for saying it, but the NX was marketed to the, ahem... fairer sex back then, hence the automatic trans from the get go. A fun, cutesy little thing that was a bit of an awkward wallflower, even though the bigger brakes and radiator. I always thought of it as the uglier, slutier cousin of the SE-R. Fun for sure, but not one you'd want to take home to meet mom.
