My brother had one. Bulletproof engine (timing chain system). The rear suspension is also very simple (less parts to break). The platform had a long lifespan being used up the first Exalta generation (lots of parts).

The car is now with my uncle. Somehow I still think it wasn't a very wise decision to have sold the unit. At least it was sold to a relative.

actually the sentras b13 (series 2) up to b14 (series 3, so called series 4 and the first generation exaltas) use the same engine. when it was launched noong series 2 pa, (correct me if i'm wrong) sya yung isa kung hindi man yung may pinakamataas na hp rating at that time. sya lang din ang timing chain.

OT po...
so if you would get one, ok lang din ba series 2? heard it was the best sentra made daw. ok lang kaya mag automatic? ayaw ko na kasi mag manual eh... =) fc nya?

I see, reliable pala series 2 .. and my also beloved car heheh until now di pa ko tinirik kahit minsan except nung natanggal ung main supply sa relay heheh

sobrang OT na tlaga tau

fuel consumption i think is okay city driving cost me 11-13km/1 liter
hiway driving around 16km/liter

although its 1.3 kaya nyang sabayan 2.0 sa pataasan

Sentra B13 and the later Sentra B14 Exalta (Taiwan) models used the GA16DE = 110hp

Sentra B14 used GA16DNE including the Super Saloon, Super Touring models = 105hp

talaga? the GA16DNE made it here pala sa pinas? kasi sa mga brochures nila, kahit sa sentra exalta na first gen, GA16DE ang engine name na nilalagay nila. ganun pala =)

... yup, the GA16DNE made it here... check the early b14 models, yung intake nila mababa, yun yung mga GA16DNE. I think you mga GA16DE on the B14's also have some small differences with the B13 GA16DE (yung cam settings iba ata and little thinngs like a plastic idle adjust screw on the newer models versus the steel unit in early b13 GA16DE's)... Despite the similar power ratings the cam settings on the newer engines allow for more usable power and torque daw...
