problems :
-it's a nissan, it will break unless you take good care of it.
-sr20 is reliable and has a fair amount of power, sr18 is gutless but just as reliable.
-most sr18 and 20 parts/electronics are interchangeable, parts are quite common for the car.
-gas mileage is good.

U14s are a nice buy, it's a great daily driver.

i'd definately recommend one.

i've seen prices range from 40 000 to 80 000

Excellent with QG18. If you follow the ECO light to regulate your right foot, even better. I spend about 15-20 dollars in gas in my 9 year old car driving hard to reach POS from Debe. Milage hardly drop since I bought it

The new ones is Qg 18 and I think VVL SR20. I can only speak for the Qg18 (In my SSS, the best looking with the fancy headlights), in that it is very reliable, but there are some sensor issues with the QG, and sensors aint cheap. Just WIPE, never wash the engine and you should not have that many problems with sensors/ electronics. You can get parts easy as most of the engine parts common to the QG16 that massey bringin in the almera and almost everything else the same as the P11 primera, from suspension to brakes to engine, even some body parts. Want to buy mine? It was in all kinda bunx up so I know it could take pressah

tnx

Debe to POS Dragsta. Note, that is one way trip eh, not to POS and back. I reach b4 trafffic, all ten pass 6 and thing to work. I checked it a few times as i filled up the night b4, then filled up when I reached tragarite road, and on average I spend around 20, sometimes less sometimes more. If you regulate your foot according to the "ECO" light, you will be amazed at the savings in gas (Best run was the 15 dollars), but I don't dirve too slow because at that hour it easy to fall asleep.

very rare. You would quicker find projector headlights from the 98 model or probably have to buy a complete nose cut assuming you don't have indicator lights in your front bumper. If you do get them to buy they not gonna be cheap or even reasonable for that matter. If you really want it badly chances are you gonna have to order from Japan (N&M).
