I just started restoring my brother's old 92 SE-R. He died in 2009 and it's been sitting in pieces since. Here's hoping the engine will turn over.

I bought my SE-R brand new in October of 1992. I still own it today. 66K original miles right now too.

90s Nissan was PEAK Nissan. Once Renault bought them quality went downhill fast.

I am always impressed with Zach's knowledge of the cars he drives. He does his homework and that makes these videos more enjoyable.

That sound! My eyes are misty. I owned and modded a red '92 SE-R from new for six years, and regretted the day I sold it. The memories are still on the Web. Thanks for sharing this little blast.

In 91' the magazines listed the 1/4 mile time of the se-r faster than the 5.0 gt mustang.

Me and my friend both owned 91 SE-R's. Impressive car in stock form.

I want a SE-R so bad now

Matt Farah's new diet seems to be working out, it came with a haircut too.

the se-R was a sleeper. I had 91 in 94. the redline was 7500 which sounded great with my JWT intake, Decat pipe and Edelbrock muffler. A true frankenstein build with Eibach springs and no remembering what struts. Used to destroy the civic crowd on a regular basis. good ol' days, had the obligatory Nismo stickers for an extra 10 HP! Eventually heat wrapped the header which helped cause back then no one could afford a turbo upgrade! good times...My favourite Car to this day

Juan, I truly love your Sentra, it is a reminder that with love and effort you can make affordable sports cars special, I saw your Sentra recently in another video and I commented that to me, yours is the perfect Sentra, I stand by that

my first time ever shifting a manual car was in my dads sentra se... i spun the tires shifting into second. :) full blown clutch dump at 100% throttle. my dad was low key proud.

I'm a Honda guy have been for a long time but I would have loved to have had one of these.

Juan is the man! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us, Juan. Enjoy every minute in it. You absolutely deserve it!

I had a stock 91 SER that I ran once at Portland International Raceway track event until the brakes went metal to metal, then drove it home to Seattle using the emergency brake to slow the car. It was that kind of fun.

Forgot about these!! What an awesome example of this car , props to Juan

I saw this car on another KZfaq page and drooled when I saw it. Awesome build on a classic Japanese car!

Back when Nissan made durable, reliable vehicles...

Had a Nissan NX2000 (mechanically same car with a different body) back in high school when this car was new and it was a terror back in its day. It participated in Motor Trend and Road & Tracks best handling cars issue with cars like NSX, Supra, 300ZX Twin Turbo, RX7, Miata, MR2 Turbo, 911 Turbo, Corvette and although it obviously didn’t win it was an amazing showing for being FWD and $16k. Besides having great handling it was rated 0-60MPH in 6.9 seconds and I remember racing a kid in my high school who had a new at the time Mustang LX 5.0 (with an automatic transmission 🤦🏻‍♂️) and beating him. My cousin ended up buying a black SE-R after driving my car and it was every bit as good and also very impressive.

i enjoy the time taken after the drive to have more conversation about the history of random car stuff. always a pleasure learning about peoples' unrewarded knowledge about something they're passionate

I had a 97’ 1.6 SE ran it straight pipe on real good tires at full tilt, at all times. Very loud and pretty fun on super twisties.

I owned a cherry red 1991 Nissan SER for 10 years! Loved it. I was able to maneuver it so comfortably in any situation. I always felt super cool and I was. What a great car.

This kinda gives me the same vibes as the 4A-GE swaped AE101 Corolla Matt reviewed some time ago. Awesome freaking build!

Wow really beautiful B13! I had a white one in the early 2000s and I absolutely loved that thing. SR20VEs were super expensive back then and I always thought that engine would be perfect for the SE-R. Good job not dropping the ride height too much, B13 have notoriously low suspension travel. The SR20 was such an awesome engine. I still miss mine till this day. Stock SR20DE motor with a few boltons can give you pretty much all the power you need IMO. I had a custom 2.5" exhaust, hotshot Gen 3 header, and JWT S3 cams plus an intake and I had it dynoed with 150hp at the wheels. Brakes were the biggest limiting factor if you're chasing lap times in this car IMO.

Just got a 91 se-r 2 weeks ago. 117k and all stock I love it and got good plans for it

I had a G20 in my Teens early 20's always admired the Two door Se-r's more when they pulled up beside me .

Man this makes me want one. My parents had just a regular 1992 Sentra in black when I was a kid, but for some reason I loved that car. This is coming from someone that just got an 06 GTO. I just love all kinds of cars.

This was one of my favorite one takes. A car built with tasteful restraint to keep the spirit of the driving experience. Reminded me of thw 1986 GLHS in some ways. Now THAT would be a great one take car!

Es un vehículo que tiene una mística especial. Mi papá me regaló un 1993, GA16 en el año de 1999, hoy por hoy lo conservo, le hice un swap a SR20rr en memoria a mi viejo. La leyenda sigue.

it's so gorgeous, i love every single bit of this beautifully well put together sentra...(and I'm a die hard toyota guy) ....the sound..all of it

JUAN...JUAN...JUAN...your car is just plain AWESOME...function over form any day of the week...

Love it !! The first brand new car I bought was a 1992 SE-R , drove it and modded it for 7yrs, wish I never sold it !!! SR20DETs were the thing back in the day but that SR20VE seems to be the ticket !!!

I remember all that car mags comparing the Sentra SE-R to the BMW 2002tii. I always wanted one of these!

What a great build! A ‘91 Sentra SE-R was the first car I bought new. It was fun out of the box, but this nicely balanced car is just great.

Back in 2002, bought a black 92 for $400. Trans popping out of 5th. Installed used trans drove it for 6 years, sold it for $500, with 220k miles. It was sporty to drive fast but comfortable to drive long distance.

I had a UK nissan almera gti hatch back in the day with the sr20de engine. I pulled 190 crank out of that engine and had loads of fun tuning it was full bolt on with mild engine work and a fidanza flywheel. The management was daztec. Good times!

Had a lot of fun in those cars from 1.8 GTS’s to NA SR20 swaps to SR20 Turbo with 360 WHP

There's a lot of sentras here in Jamaica

they're called undulations on the road! very nice car!!! had one over 20 years ago and wish i still had it!!!

I have an '02 and a 2004 SE-R specv. The '04 came with the R-tune: 4 piston Brembo's Ebiach stabilizer bars F&R Nismo cam's & exhaust & suspension Lightweight forged wheels Nismo short shifter & cold air intake & bushings Rockford Fosgate sound system It's my baby, I absolutely love the thing.

The '91 SE-R was my first brand new car. I drove it for 9 years, auto-crossed it, and traded it in with 165,xxx miles on it with the original clutch... my '72 Skylark convertible was the coolest car I owned back then, but the SE-R was the most fun!

Love this. I've had (in this order) a '98 200SX SE-R, '00 Sentra SE (basically the SE-R for that year) '94 SE-R and a '92 SE-R. The '92 I bought from a guy that had replaced the engine because the original hydro-locked and threw a rod. The replacement engine came from Japan, and no matter how hard I tried or what parts I cleaned or replaced, I could never get it to idle right. But that engine was a factory freak, would spin the tires in 2nd gear. Ran a 15.2 @ 92 mph at the local strip with an intake and a header, at 5400ft elevation. Loved that car, loved them all. Really miss my '00 SE though which had the performance package (16" wheels, rear spoiler and most importantly: LSD). Had a lot of fun in that car. I'm currently driving a '17 Elantra Sport 6MT and in a lot of ways it reminds me of the '00 SE, almost a grown up version of it. Going to be keeping it for a while.

My wife's car is a '93 SE-R that she bought new with 37 miles. Power mirrors and 5 speed. Totally stock, right at 115K miles right now. We did the 5th gear fix to the original transmission. Red, and due for a second repaint. I so want to do some work to it, but it's actually fun stock, too, even with the multiple cracks in the dashboard!

When people go "Ma turbo!", i go "but this". What a sound!

This was my favorite car in high school in 1993. I dreamt about the SER in woodshop class lol. Not sure why that class. Had posters of it in my room. Always talked about it. Was Totally obsessed my freshman year....

the exhaust sounds amazing

Always wanted one of these👍🏽 My first car was an '88 Sentra hatchback in the mid 90s

Modified ‘91 Nissan SE-R. This was special. Thanks KZfaq algorithm for taking me back to my youth.

Im working on my lvl 7 for IN-N-OUT and this is one of my goals to build and ino is helping me with the amazing pay they give sr20dett for sure

Alot of people get surprised when they here my little car does 135, for what it is, thats a pretty quick little car. Its fun, and with the right setup, its a monster in the corners

I remember selling these new, back in '90. The people who understood them, were comparing them to 2002 tiki's, and they were older. I think I sold one a month, for the 9 months I was there. It got so, they would just call me, if someone asked about them. Love this video.

Very nice build. Have always loved the older SE-R's.

Loved my b13 sentra fastest car I had in highschool! Shout out to Fortune auto for always coming through with the suspension

Great cars, built one back in the day with Jim Wolf head and cams etc, this was before the VE became available in America, was an absolute blast to drive, sure the B13 was available world wide providing mobility for the people but the SE-R and it’s sibling the Sunny GT-S was something special!

I’ve had the opportunity to drive Juan’s SE-R at Streets of Willow. It drives like a dream. He has it spec’d out so nicely.

Very cool car. The SE-R proves you don't need super high HP to have a great driving experience.

I still have a black 91 se-r with 322k miles on it. Original engine and transmission that can run circles around new cars. My 2nd B13 (red 92 se-r was my first car after high school which I sold to a fellow enthusiast after riding in my black se-r at Laguna Seca HPDE in 2005) and I also owned a 2002 B15 se-r spec v which I replaced coz it just didn't have the special combination that the B13 had. I tended to hit rev limiter due to low redline of 6250rpm in B15. Recently, a kid surprised me he knew about my car that when he saw it outside my house he left me a note as he was interested in buying it. I showed him what the car can do but told him that unfortunately it wasn't for sale. I plan to give the se-r to my boys when they are of driving age in about 8-10 years. Edit: Btw I've done HPDE on road courses in California to include Laguna Seca, Buttonwillow, Thunderhill, big Willow Springs, and Infineon Raceway (B15) at Sears Point with my SE-Rs after getting bit by the HPDE bug as a passenger during 2002 SERCA convention event in Phoenix, AZ. I knew the car was special when I bought it but didnt know how special until the seat time.

Cleanest Sentra I ever seen💯

I looove these cars. Really want a clean one someday. Swapping one to RWD with 240SX running gear is also a dream of mine. 👌

This was my first manual transmission car.. I loved it all the way till i blew up the motor. So much fun

Predilection towards Honda’s but I’ve always loved these.

I owned a 1992 Sentra - granted it was an XE. but I miss some parts of this body style. The visibility was amazing and it was easy to work on - it just needed more oomph.

I learned to drive stick on a 1991 Sentra SE and it was an absolute blast and a few of my friends later went on to buy SE-Rs because the SE was so much fun.

It sounds so Nice.Great build!props!

Rich, you watching this? I’ll never forget your SE-R, and all the fun we had in it. Your SE-R, my MR2, and lots of good times.

What a great car. I don't even know how many times I've driven La canions in assetto corsa after watching the smoking tire videos. It has definitely happened a lot.

I had one. Same motor with cams. And 4.44 final drive. It was so fun. Revved to 9k. Would keep up with LS powered cars

I would love to own one of these. Good job Juan!

Nissan guys seem to love theyre cars. went to a z meet and was amazed at how clean some Z32s were.

had a 93 ser with a 2871 Garrett turbo and s3 cams. back in the day,that car hurt ALOT of feelings with only 350hp. Man i miss that car!

I went with a VW GTI 16v instead, but the SE-R was in my short list. Still haven’t Tired of my GTI. Nothing real major done in 193k. Just cooling system, distributors, and fuel pumps mostly. I’ve done a lot of suspension work. I JUST LOVE THIS ERA, light and FUN without too much crap to break inside.

This car always had an E30 look to it. Nice job.

This is a nice looking car. I don't even like front wheel drive cars but this one is intriguing.

My dad got a 91 ser and that's what got me into these things...i jusy bought an 06 ser last friday😂 love it

Seeing this in red is so weird for me. They’re used as Taxis in Mexico and painted red lol. My grandpa used to have one when he was a taxi driver

I have a stock 92 SE-R with 56K miles. I bought the car new and it was the first new car I ever had. Love the car. The only thing I don't like is my rear tail light get water in them and water can get in around the spark plug boots.

I had a ‘91 se-r given to me by my aunt when I was 20yo. I had so much fun In That car. Unfortunately I only had it three weeks before I crashed and totaled it. But it left a lasting impression on me, I still think about some times.

My first car :') the best SE-R. Congrats man beautifull proyect!!!

Im a honda guy at heart I love my integras and civic I had one of these back in the day and let me tell one of the most fun cars i have ever driven on backroads

I graduated from college in '91 - my choice for a car to zoom me around with my sales rep job was between an Acura Integra and this Sentra. I voted Integra due to long-term Honda reliability, and then promptly rolled her on Spaghetti Junction after 28k miles. I bought an identical new one with the insurance money and drove it to 280k. I sold it then bought an identical one with only 123k, and then proceeded to push that odo over 280k also. Fun to see this red Se-R doing its paces and sounding cherry! Occasionally you see that short-run iteration of Integras. I've only seen one of these Nissans in 10 years - Respect for maintaining this beauty!

I’m so glad I never sold mine! It looks like I might have a true classic in my hands...I always thought it was anyways!

Something about n/a built 4 cylinders, some of my favorite builds to see

Not gonna lie I wish Matt did this review. Either way good job 👍🏼

When I got my license in 98 I wanted either a Mk2 Gti 16v, 88-91 Crx si, or one of these. Couldn't find an Crx or Sentra in my budget but man, this thing looks like it would be a blast. I bet that screaming engine is addictive, I think it would have gotten me in more trouble than the Gti did😬.

Glad I kept mine. I have this exact engine. Sr20ve. 😁

I owned a 92 SE-R, and later a 91 SE-R with a sr20det swap in the early 2000's when hondas were the rage. 200ish whp in the B13 s chassis is to date the most fun I've had in a car. I 've been looking for a clean one for a couple years now and they're just not out there.

Ok, I’ve owned a 91 and 96 SER, respectively. The former being my go to for performance. The latter being my go to for performance and looks.

I'm 53 years old, and the only NEW car I ever bought was a black 93 Sentra SE-R. I miss that car every day.

All the Nissan mod talk makes me miss my KA24DE 240sx back when I had it all the mods I wanted seemed unobtainable now I wish I had one to work on it.

You can't even find these gen Sentra's anymore! Love it!!

These cars are super popular in Costa Rica I saw them every where out there.

The base Sentra of that generation was in production in Mexico until two years ago. They called it the Tsuru. I live in southern Arizona, so I see them from time to time. If I had an SE-R, I might put the later Tsuru grill on it, they updated it a couple times to try to hide the fact that they were still building a car designed in the late 80s. XD

I got a 02 b-15 sentra se-r spec v I’m droolin rn this is the one ya want

Best thing about this car is that parts are still available for it since it was produced until 2017

My first car was a nissan sentra b13 nismo that came with the sr18de engine. We called that model the beast in my country. Fun times, wish i never sold it cuz they are hard to find now.

Damn, I still want one of these to this day!

I miss my b13. Was an XE and had the GA16 but I completely gutted it; not even a passenger seat was left. Felt like driving a kart on clouds.

1:09 OH HEY, That's my Silver Sentra SpecV LMFAO. My car was a star for about 5 seconds LOL. Long live the SERs! Amazing cars. Happy to see people still beefing these things up!

All stock SR20 motors easily do 7800RPM all day!! The jim wolf ECU upgrade and advance timing and jimwolf lightweight flywheel made these cars rev so hard it really felt like a race car lol...loved my 96 SE-R....saddest day was when i sold it....new owner totaled it a day later....i might do another project car when my son gets older

I had an 88 sentry 5 speed manual back in 92-98....I got it up to 100mph+. And I kept up with a dodge Daytona turbo around town block to block.
