William, Sounds like your mind was made up before you asked the question on usenet. Good luck and enjoy the car. Pardon my ignorance, but just what is so special about an SE-R as compared to a "run of the mill" Sentra? That car is still an old high mileage car. SE-R is "Racing" per the "R" I think.... Or as someone else once said, "The difference is zoom, zoom, zoom."  SE-R probably has more HP/Torque and a better suspension and/or wheel/tire set-up stock.

the se-r has a 2.0liter 140hp motor the std sentra has a 1.6 liter 116hp motor (I think) the se-r was popular as a track racer (among other things...) there are a number of other differences to go with it.

probably the most famous SER in Nissan's line. Before emissions rules
took a toll on the SR20DE motor, in that Sentra, it was a pocket
rocket. Don't let the numbers fool you. It was a very fun car.
Peruse these links and you'll get an idea;

Thanks for the post. It sounds like I can only expect another 50k or so before I can expect to have engine problems. Even if it was taken care of. This is the kind of information I needed to make a decision. Thanks again. Mike G. "EJD" <WRONGnoilly_pratt (AT) hotmail (DOT) comWRONG> wrote in message news:F65wh.832324$5R2.93870 (AT) pd7urf3no (DOT) .. I have a '92 Nissan NX2000...basically the same car, same engine, with a fastback body. I now have 240,000km's and have owned it from new. I have had great service out of it, and suddenly one day 2 years ago it had no power and developed a rattle upon more than 1/2 way acceleration. I was told the "bottom end" had gone, and it wasn't through abuse or lack of maintenance. My mechanic said it'd be worth it to get a near-new engine as all components would be fairly worn anyway and my plan was to keep the vehicle. So, I had my mechanic put in an engine imported from Japan...only 60,000km on it and very healthy...even better than new. Here's the complete history: I bought it new in '93 (on the lot for a year because it had an Auto trans. no T tops, no air conditioning) and just before the warranty expired, I had the transmission rebuilt free from Nissan. Then, fast forward to many years later (4 years ago) and the transmission went again ($2k Canadian). Then 2 years ago the bottom end problem and a new-used engine.(a bit over $2K) I had a coolant hose burst last year, but that was kind of expected. Also, the back shocks needed replacing...again because they were originals I wasn't surprised. I love the willing nature of the engine to rev to redline and the "non-Japanese" nature of it to have low end torque. But, at this mileage, expect to invest some cash if the owner hasn't already. "William Michael Greene" <wmg63 (AT) bellsouth (DOT) net> wrote in message news:lFRvh.11555$qt.11471 (AT) bignews5 (DOT) bellsouth.net... Thinking of buying a 92 Nissan Sentra SE-R From a neighbor. The car has 206k on it but it was female driven. I want something reliable to drive back and forth to work I thought this would be perfect. Wanted to ask if this car with this many miles will become a cash cow. I am not above getting the engine rebuilt one day but if their is history out there that says with those many miles I am looking for trouble, please advise. Thanks. |
