Thread: New to me B15 SE

Hows it going dashers picked up a new daily beater for me and the misses this week and figured id share with you guys ... i got it at a little hole in the wall used car lot so it had some things that needed addressed and still does but i made decent headway on it this week. its a 2000 SE 5spd(no lsd :-( ) and has 161k on it. anyway heres the pictures




















its just a roller rocker but i had this valve cover sitting around and like the blue so much better than the stock one .. i know i need to pull the VVL badge off but i didnt lol



Picked these up off local craigslist ... got em for a mere 150 bux

I have some issues with it that I need to figure out so what b15 specific forum do you guys think is the best one?

^^ they all suck since you dont have a QR you're not accepted in there group!

B15sentra.net is the forum I frequented while I had my 01 SE. Probably not too active over there and may have been taken over by the QR people.

That car should have LSD as you appear to have the Performance package (16" 6 spoke rims, midnight interior, spoiler) unless the trans was swapped at some point.

^ True!

The performance package also came w/a 180watt sound system, which includes a sub in the back (a 3rd speaker in the rear deck). I'm not sure if the tweeters were standard on the SE or also part of the PP sound system. Also came w/an immobilizer security function w/the chipped key.

Well it has tweets for sure and also for sure chipped key (there's a chunk of rubber missing so I can see the chip lol) . the previous ricer had some jacked up system in the car (will explain in a minute) I could be mistaken on the LSD .. but it didn't look bulged out on the driver side .. of course I didn't really look at it .. just glanced while I was ripping out the pos short shifter that was in it... it also has a muffler shop 2.25-2.5 inch exhaust on it and I do have the cold air extension but pulled it off. OK now back to the system .. they cut out huge chunks of the rear deck ... they built a dual 8" sub box(and they kept the amp and 1 of the subs lol) and screwed a plate to the top of it for some 6x9s.. then proceeded to screw the box and plate TO THE REAR DECK! Along with a super jdm blue neon light ... had some sweet HP auto sport pedals and other various halfasstrys that I fixed the best I could. It has a viper alarm .. no remote lol .. but it runs amazing other than the occasional cutoff when I'm stopping ... the motor mounts are Uber soft so I'm ordering some ES inserts .. gonna throw the tein basics on it and maybe some wheels and a few other minor things and then just maintain it. Since you guys seem familiar with the b15 any tips for figuring out why it dies when coming to a stop some times?

craziness, but at least I'm sure you have an LSD

-G

.

Wow....just wow.

I had Tein basics on my SE...rode very nice even with heavy 17" rims I was rolling on.

vacuum related...possibly an issue with brake booster??? pulled that out of nowhere. the cars are getting long in the tooth now so it's possible the vacuum lines are drying out...wasn't an issue when I bought it new and haven't really kept up with the B15 chassis

Good luck with the car; should treat you well.

Check the trans number on the ID tag, B pillar left side.
LSD trans will be RS5F70V if it was LSD equipped from the factory.

Mass Airflow Sensor most likely is causing your stall at idle.

I'm gonna check for LSD again once I get back home in 3 weeks ... I totally forgot b15 trannys look different from b13/b14 ones so hopefully I do have LSD then this trans can go into my b13 lol .. I looked over the vacation lines and didn't see anything and it idles perfect .. just sometimes when coming to a stop it dies ... come to think of it I think every time it has I was turning the wheel so maybe the PS is dragging it down .. who knows .. I'll get it figured out at some point. Thanks for all the information you guys
