I have the option to purchase a 1991 Nissan NX 5spd with 150k for a rather low price, just curious how dependable these cars are and if they would make a good auto-x car/ice racer.
A little car like that having rear disc brakes (that stands out to me when I see them) implies sporting intentions (as with the AE92 GT-S). Test it out
so inotherwords, if it runs fine and handles fine stock, it should be good for some auto-x or some ice racing with a little bit of mods? Hows aftermarket support for these things? having a hard time finding performance parts.
as far as an LSD, i would say prolly not, but i could be wrong...maybe you could ask on a nissan forum there might be some owners there that could give you some info & insight about the car
ok this is the info i found out....the nx2000 comes with the sr20de (140hp 120ftlbs) and a lsd, but to buy one of those im looking at aprox $4000+ca. this has the gt16(i think) and has aprox the same specs as the 1.5vvti(110hp 108ftlbs).
I hate this everytime i find a car that could possibly become a fun car to totally screw with, i get my head filled with all of this granjour(sp?) and never get it off the ground. lol
i dont really ever get accused of not being origional lol. I'm just lookign for a fun car to go auto-x and ice racing with, but im afraid that 110hp isnt going to be enough, and that a sr20de swap would be rather costly.
:hammer: Ratko - I hate civics, not because they are a Honda....just because I dont like them, they are ugly, and everyone has one. I think i'll buy it and even if it does blow up, i'll be able to part it out for more than i bought it for.
If its the NX2000, then hell yeah, ive driven a few Sentra SE-R's with the same SR20DE engine, and they are fun.
The engine revs very high and fast, the suspension is good and grippy, yet perfectly comfortable enough for daily driving. Good gas milage, and plenty of support.
You dont even need to swap for the DET, you can get the exhaust manifold and turbo off of a Pulsar GTI and that will bolt directly on to the DE without problems.
I can only imagine a NX2000 would be very similar, but maybe faster due to the size, compare to a Sentra SE-r
I wouldnt do it though if its the 1600, way underpowered.
If you do get it, one caution, basic mantiance parts are rather expensive and are a hastle to find. Most of the time you cant even find an oil filter except at the dealership.
Nissan SR20DE :thumbup
Id love a DE powered Sentra or maybe even an NX, very cool cars. lots of fun to drive.

Hi guys,
Sorry but this isn't true. Parts for a Sentra or NX1600 are as cheap as they are for any common car. Oil filters can be bought a WalMart for $3.00.
