It's pretty sad that it's almost impossible for most people to pay over 3k for an SE-R in any condition modded or stock. I mean, look at the classifieds section. There's one for sale now that's listed for 2750 and no one is biting because it's "too expensive" yet people pay over 3k for a stock civic with a d16 motor just because the civic "has more potential". Pathetic argument since you need to do an engine swap to even get close to SE-R capability. Absolutely blows my mind how cheap our community is and that will be the factor preventing value increase. A car is only worth what people pay for it. Not what KBB says, not what NADA says, not what MSN Auto says.
A major factor hurting value increase is the FWD platform. I know of only a few FWD cars that are valuable. Integra GS-R and Type-R, CRX Si, Shelby GLH. That's about it. Even the first and second generation GTIs aren't valued at much. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's worth anything. The 510 wasn't that rare when it was made. The SE-R was, but that only hurts it I think.
I don't see an SE-R selling for more than $10,000 ever regardless of condition or modifications. The most valuable SE-R I know of now is probably that one that was found at the dealership and the kid "fixed" it up. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2408736/1992-nissan-sentra/ . Tough to say what it's worth since there is nothing to compare it to really. Maybe we could ask him if he's got any offers on it.

All the pieces were there. All in either back seat or trunk. I still own the car and have been thinking of selling it. The story behind it is 100% true and have all documents to back it up for when the next person owns the car I can and will pass it all along with the car as history needs to stay with it.
