'90 1.5 California engine- what sentra has engine support?

[tangerineX]

Im planning to transfer my ever reliable engine to a sentra (medyo round corners).
Mahal na mahal ko California ko pero pabalik balik ang problem sa body especially sa canal sa bubong (and wind-shield area)
Swak daw yung engine sa sentra pero I need your expertise kung what year-model?
Pero sana paki-canvass kung magkano magagastos ko kung papalitan or papagawa yung buong bubong (canal at wind-shield area).
Saan po ba meron expert latero lalo na sa box-type sentra (California)?
I need all of your help kc talagang mahal ko ang California, pero open din po ako sa idea ng change body pero nagdadalawang-isip pa po. tnx, sori sa nobela...

Sentra B12 chassis (1985 to 1990)

Yep, Sentra B12s will be the perfect fit.

And by the way, you made the right decision. Sakit lang ng ulo pag pabalik-balik na lang ang sira sa body. You'll end up spending more.

Goodluck bro!

salamat sa mga nagreply, without offending sa mga binaha pero kung sa following days eh may makabasa na owner ng B12 sentras, pa-quote po kung magkano yung oto less the engine.
I know this is not the right forum site pero di naman po ako nag-aadvertise, nagpaplano lang po kung magpapa-major body repair po ako or change body na lang, salamat po uli

Personally, why not just get a Sentra of more recent vintage like a Sentra B14 or even a Sentra N16 instead of trying to find a chassis for your existing 1.5L engine.

If you really want to restore the B12 California, you might have seriously consider if sentimental value is worth the money you'll be pouring into it. It might just become a private moneypit.

bossing sorry pamilyado na po tayo eh, medyo limited na ang budget, service ko kasi daily yung oto kaya sa maintenance ko sa engine, na-appreciate ko siya.
pero sa mga advices mo, parang igi-give way ko na yung sentimental value to practicaltiy.
nga pala baka sa future makabili din tayo, (pwede ko naman i-search sa intenet pero mukhang expert at familiar ka naman sa mga available model in our country) LAST QUERY, ANO BA COMPLETE INFO MO dun sa B13 na may 2 pairs of fog light sa bumper, maganda kasi siya pinturahan ala R31 metallic ash gray ba? salamat in advance kung may extra time ka to read this...

It is something like this??



or this?



B13 Sentra with GTS front bumper & GTS fog/driving lights.

If thats the one, yes, it would look great with a gun-metal grey paintjob.

But the GTS was never sold in the Philippines. B13 owners bought surplus GTS bumpers and installed them on their existing rides.

If i were the one to choose ill go with the B13 body Lots of Aftermarket Body accessory Grills , fender ,bumper .

salamat sa mga info niyo, pati sa color na sinabi ni ghosthunter, owning a R31 is a fantasy, kaya sa pintura na lang daanin, thanks a lot, napagaan ng mga pictures/images niyo ang eventual na pagdepart ko w/ my California, maraming maraming salamat...

One thing na advantage ng Califorrnia is the spacious cargo area. Kasya kahit yung twin tub na washing machine (folded back seat).
