Dude, i love my nx as well and i understand where your coming from. You will absolutely love the nx in 5spd. And to answer your question, yes, everything from the sentra is the same for the nx. So, i figure it would be a little easier to find an se-r donor car then to find an nx2000. There pretty rare in my area at least. So, get all taht stuff from the se-r from 91-94 and you will be set. you can probably pick up a nice beat up se-r for like 1000 or less. my buddy nismoser got his 91 classic for like 2400, and its in perfect condition for the most part and it runs great. Best of luck doing the swap.

Just be warned this is a HUGE project. Lots to change. Ive also heard that the tranny mount between the two are different. But just make a list, and check it twice. You will need a new crossmember, a dog bone, and the mount to engine. Thats something else I notice. Linkage. One thing to remember is alot of stuff can be sourced from non se-r cars. Like the shifter, mounts, and linkage. Think it was Jay Stewart that did the research and said those were the exact same between the cars.
As with most people asking about this swap what I usualy say is this. If you dont have nothing but bolt ons, I would look at possibly finding another car. Its not an easy swap, it takes time and thinking to be done right. If you have nothing but bolt ons, Id look at just moving them to another car, it will be much easier. And seriously the cost of doing the swap will end up being close to what you can get a "decent" classic or such for. It will end up taking no less than 1000 bucks. Probaly 1500+ depending on the ammount of new parts or upgrades parts you end up using.

Thats my opinion and I could be wrong

rosen autosprt said theyll do the swap! it will take 15 hours, and they can get me the parts but i think it would be a bit pricey from them. ill find a donor car, then turn everything over to them! i dont know how much per hour the labor will cost,but ill keep you guys posted! www.rosenautosport.com
