so you guys are gonna think im dumb *** it seems like a ridiculous deal.

but theres a 95 200 with gtir swap, jim wolf ecu, front mount, cf hood, and safc2. and some ricer sideskirts and headlights.
but the guy wants 2500 n im sure i can talk him down a bit. the only thing is is that it didnt start out as an se-r. it doesnt have ANY options what so ever. no sunroof, no power. but it is boosted with a front mount. i offered him 2200 and hes ****** bout it.

i also have the option of buying my old b13 back.

im posting this in this section because i dont know much about b14s. is a non ser model with gtir worth it? is it going to be a pain in the ass to swap it over to rear disc and power options? or if i have AN SER parts car can i switch the doors? would that make me have power windows n doors? or is there more to it?

its a good deal, if the car is tuned and running properly...
and you are overall happy with the way it looks.. or how it could look.


that seems like at least 2,200 worth of engine. intercooler, ecu. cf hood, safc, headlights, and whatever else he put on it..

i think the 200sx is the only nissan to kinda look like a honda - eh?

he says they only drive it in the summers for the last 2 years, and it has never had any leaks, oil water or boost, he said it pulls hard til he shifts at 6k, heres a couple pics. i think im just stuck on the non se-r thing. *** i really want a sunroof. and i know theres a lot of lil things like the seats are nicer, suspension, brakes, the ser is better all the way around.

Not all SE-R come with sun roof. I have a 98' without a sunroof and it's a real SE-R.

theres a 95 at a local car lot i can get parts off. its been sitting for 3 years with no title/blown headgasket. i was almost ****** bout filinf lost title paperwork. doing the swao into that. and having exactly what i want for around2500. the one in the junkyard is missing the power window switches, well all the trim pieces from the doors, and has no keys, but i could take the key cylinders from this one i might buy and swap that over n find the rest. i dont know yet. we will se...

Me too, '95 SER no sunroof, I like the hardtop. That is definately worth the money, who needs power windows if you only drive it in nice weather the windows will always be down anyways.

this will be my daily driver. *** grab it on friday, i just got an interior pic and motor pic. rubbr shift boot ftw! haha. *** get it anyways. and take rear disc off the parts car. or maybe if its cheap enough by the whole parts car, it has lsd, so id like to have the spare tranny anyways. the se-r seats are black outside n gray on the inside, but its been sitting for a long time, ill figure out what i wanna do once i have it, but i cant pass it up. 2200. only downers are its not an ser, but hell its boosted sr even better. and couple lil things. NOTHING i cant fix easily ***.

when i get home ill put up the other pics. it has ser wheels but i also have a set of 17s

these car \s have a straight axle across the back? looks funky to me.

its just nice to have the option. lol. i want to trade or sell the 17s so i can buy gspec pulleys. my last ser had ur pulleys and fidanze flywheel. my favorite bolt ons. i dont know y but i love the quick revs, and i like the launching better, lil bit harder to launch on slicks with lite flywheel vs stock
