Hello Sr20forum members heres my question, I currently own a 91 sentra and im soon to purchase a Nx2000 for a straight up steal but heres where it gets difficult. I dont know which one id rather work on first lol. here are the pros and cons
91 sentra
Pros
bodys in better shape
intieror is in bettre shape
Cons
its an SE so its 1.6 and no rear disk
93 Nx2000
Pros
Sr20de with jdm highport swap
its hatchback(*** sucker for a hatchback)
Has t-tops
rear disk and all the other se-r/2000 goodies
Cons
body needs a few repairs
inteiror needs a little TLC and a few peices sourced since they are missing
no LSD(some kind of basemodel g20 tranny after the case broke on the LSD one)
so my question is which would you mess with first with some reasoning as to why keep in mind the work to swap the nx2000 goodies to the sentra isnt really a problem to me so yeap just give me your opinions please
Thank you
Wayne AKA Fatman
EDIT: price I have and will have spent on both cars is roughly 700 on the sentra total and 750 on the nx so price is comparable and sentamental value isnt a factor either.
Also i will be keeping both cars and if the sentra is chosen the driveline and suspesion will be swapped out from the nx2000 to the sentra

depends on if you are keeping the motor in the sentra or not.
You didn't mention prices either... those are both factors. Are you going to sell your sentra and replace it with the nx? or are you going keep both cars?
In my eye, there is more sentimental value in having more work to accomplish on a car... it keeps you busy, and then when its all done and pretty - you feel a bit better about the experience.
i say do up the NX. Take the interior from the sentra and put it in the nx. the SE interior resembles the se-r interior I believe so it should look pretty decent. T-tops would be nice in the summer. Or swap the engine/suspension/brakes into the sentra. Either way you'll end up with a kick ass car.

ok good point I simply overlooked those items
1)I Will Be keeping both cars.
2) as it sits i have roughly $700 in my sentra including cost of car and the nx2000 is going to cost me a whopping $750.So price isnt a factor in it but on the other hand sentamentalness the sentra was my first street legal and dirivng car so it does have slightly more sentimental value, but as im not getting rid of either car to fix up the other that doesnt matter either as one day both will be to a fun and fast level of modification. Im just torn between which would be more ideal to work on first. thanks guys and keep the input coming
swap the engine and chassis stuff from the nx2k into the sentra!

The NX2000 is the rarest of all the SR20 cars sold in America (the NX1600 isn't all that common, either). Any NX is worth a little TLC if it is not a total bucket. Any rust problems?

good point, but JUST KEEP BOTH... and make the sentra a DD and race out the NX

already has 2.25 mandrel bent exhaust
warm air
short shifter
but other than that, i have 2 12's in it, 1000 watts each, sentra can take vibrations pretty good, doesnt rattle at all, tinted windows .5 all around with strip on winsheild, painted interior, just white and black not ricey, g20 seats sooooon hopefully...
and right now i like driving around in that better than my moms camary with tint and leather all around...
Buy the NX and swap everything to the SE.Then part out the NX to recoup your money.

Swap the SR20 goodies to the Sentra and swap the GA16 parts over to the NX. Keep the NX as a daily beater that gets great mileage and has lots of utility b/c of the hatch.

just for all those who say sell or part out one that IS NOT AN OPTION!! lol i will 100% for sure be keeping both cars since A) im a nissan fan very hardcore B) neither have a single drop of rust on them ANYWHERE that is important( the nx has a small rust spot on front fender big deal i know lol) and C) since i live with my mother as an aid around the house to her i have minimal bills so selling isnt needed nor wanted lol . so yea either way both cars are being kept, eventually one will be gti-r and one will be sr16 or sr20 ve (i love VVL its so much better than my hondas V-tec shhhh *yes i own a honda*) and the first one i fix up will probably be gti-r but im not sure which that is yet lol
