A buddy and I will be competing in the BABE Rally in June this year. For those who don't know, this is a rally wherein teams drive from New York to New Orleans (Big Apple to Big Easy, hence the name) in cars costing no more than $500. To this end, we have acquired a 1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R. It was sitting for 3 years and will obviously require some basic work to make it safe, in spite of its overall reasonably sound condition. We spent three hours getting it running yesterday.
I come out of the BMW world, so if anyone has any useful tidbits about the B13 Sentra or the SR20DE, I'd love to hear them. In the spirit of the rally, we are doing the minimum to make the car safe to drive, but not really worrying about the other stuff right now. Nonetheless, trouble spots, model-specific tricks, particularly important maintenance items, and other handy information are all potentially useful, so let me know what you know.
