    Our Nissan Sentra (wihch is basically a sedan California) is still alive and kicking. 12 valve and is very efficient. If you want to pursue it, by all means. Its nice to see old school cars going strong nowadays IMHO.

    Gaya ng kay Mazinger Z, our Nissan California 1.6L 12V is also very much alive and still reliable.
    Sa parts naman maraming available dyan. Gusto ko yung spaciousness nya sa likod, marami kaming nailalagay.

    HTH.

    sir mas ok ang B13 pero kung talagang ang puso mo ay nasa nissan california go for it but dont forget restoring an old car is expensive but low budget on maintenance and i think medyo mahirap na rin makahanap ng parts....

    me nakita dad ko nissan california on the same place we bought our isuzu MU.. and it's only 48,000 pesos.. kung kukunin nya ito, siguro most of the time ako daw gagamit. the funny thing is it's older than me pero i guess ok na yon as long it has an engine and four wheels (takumi kuno hahaha)

    what do you guys think? *48k, it's better than a motorcycle (in terms of safety)

    sabi ng mekaniko kanina (pinuntahan daw nila. di ko pa nakita school kasi) ok daw yung makina although di ko sure anong makina yon, ung 1.4 ba yun? ok daw ung paint except for some bubbles at the roof..

    (*TS sorry for hijacking your thread, it just happened that i had the same query as yours. )

    Sir I made some research dito sa tsikot on b13's and after reading some threads nagbago na isip ko i want the sentra ss na. sabi nila mas maganda daw yung facelifted na SS lumabas ng 93 tsaka yung SE saloon. ask ko lang how much ba presyuhan ng b13 SS ngayun? sabi nila matipid daw sa gas, pero yung mga thread na nabasa ko 2006 pa. possible ba makakuha ako ng b13 SS sa 70K? medyo low budget kasi ako eh. naghahanap ako ngayun ng 1992 or 1993 SS ok pa ba tong mga ganito?thanks po and sa mga nagbigay ng suggestions salamat po

    Hello sir,
    I currently own a 1988 California. My car has the e15 1.5 liter 12 valve engine. I have brought my car to Abra twice with full of passengers and baggage, so much that the the rear tires scrub off the fenders on some bumps.

    The stock California has adequate performance, not that fast compared to newer cars but still gives excellent mileage.

    getting this car is still somehow practical, as long as the car is well aken cared off. Have a mechanic check the condition of the engine, check the body for rust, and the suspension and steering for parts that may need to be replaced.

    The parts that are hard to find are the rear hatch assembly and rear interior trim. For your budget, try to find a california or sedan, preferably all-manual, in a good condition rather than try to fit your budget in a b13. B13s are good, but something is fishy if a b13 is being sold for 70k.

    Ang pang araw-araw [reliable pa] ko na car is my Nissan California '88. Halos lahat ng parts napapalitan ko na. Kailangan pa ayusing ang konting kalampag but it is still running well and now with new 15" mags and a new coat of maroon paint. Cannot let go of the car kasi I believe swerte sa akin yun [at babaratin lang pati pag binenta]. Marami pang parts sa Banawe. I guess I will take care of my Nissan California hanggang maubos ang spare parts sa Banawe.

    I owned both cars before. Pareho sila reliable. Depende na lang sa budget at kung ano talaga gusto mo. Mas maraming cons sa california because of its age and parts availability pero kung maayos pa yung auto it will still serve you well. Regarding sa engine na sinabi mo, siguro yan yung JDM ga15 carb. Ganyan yung makina na pinalit ko dati sa california ko. Malakas at matipid yang makina na yan. Sa budget mo na 70k swak yan sa california may sukli kapa. Meron ka rin matyempuhan na B13 na 70k pero malamang may mga pagawain. Its your call bro. You cant go wrong with both cars basta check mo lang mabuti...
