Sentra LEC PS owners

[chrlag22]

lec ps user here, ok i-drive, lamig aircon kumpara sa mga model na kasabayan. madaliisigit. dami pa ding available na pyesa. medyo malakas lang talaga sa gas. tibay ng makina ng sentra timing chain walang kaba na maputulan. nakakapraning lang pag nagbabawas ng tubig hehe, hirap makita kung san may tagas. check din mabuti yung mga maliliit na water hose sa ilalim ng intake manifold. ang liit nga lang ng side mirror ng lec may konting blind spot hehe

I agree with the side mirror comment. Had to use blind spot mirror to compensate for it. Otherwise, mapapatrouble ka sa lane change (lives in Laguna and uses SLEX/ACTEX/STAR Toll from time to time).

BTW, yung blind spot mirror ay kasama na when I got my ride. Saka sa RH mirror lang meron. I am considering replacing it with an adjustable one, though. Saka both sides na if possible.

try installing a long, curved rear view mirror inside. it can smallify your blind spot as you can actually see a much wider swathe of rear with it.

These usually came out with narrow 165/70R13 (or 175, i can't remember well anymore) steel rims and tires back in the day. But a 185/65R14 tire and rim package will fit well enough, this is what we used on our B13 JX (GA14DS) before.

Thanks for the reply. Another pahabol question. Ano timing/degrees gamit nyo na optimal for daily drive. Standard 10degrees lang ba?

itong mga b13 na fuel injected, gumagamit na ba ng obd2 protocol?

or sa b14 na nagstart implement ng nissan ang obd2 protocol?

Wala pa. Troubleshooting here was counting blinks and then looking it up sa table to know what it means.

Sa B14 nag-start yung OBDII compliance.

thanks for the answer.

that's one thing to consider. i've been tinkering w/ the idea of doing a b13 project thingy. naghananap ng sakit ng ulo ata ako eh.

anyhow, not considering its current age, when the b13 was in its heyday, anu-ano ba ang known headaches niya? parang i've read kasi before that you were once an owner of this model - particularly the eccs variant.

it was a good engine, as i recall.
medyo matakaw sa gas, is all.

We had one for 6 years..... Issues we had (as with most Nissans) was the suspension.... kalampagin, like all previous-gen Sentras. The power windows were also very flimsy. My brother were just fooling around in the back seat, resting his face on the windows, then bigla nalang bumaba yung window 1/3 of the way and ayaw na umangat. The internal mechanism had a pulley system that is plastic na madaling mabasag.

The engine is mostly ok. We had idle issues towards the latter part of its life with us. Sometimes when you rev it and release the gas pedal, the RPM would drop down to around 500 before it recovers. Once in a blue moon, the engine would stall doing that. The alternator was also repaired when one day, it stopped charging. Finally, the A/C blower resistor will also go bad every couple or so years... we went through two during the life of the vehicle.

^ thanks for the info. lots of tips to digest and consider.

the b13 looks to be a formidable challenge. parang magiging suki sa apalit kung nagkataon.

The B13 was our first all-power and EFI car and I loved it in spite of its weaknesses. We also got a Lancer "Itlog" about a year or so later and between the two, the Lancer was more fun to drive, lending to its more sporty suspension, tighter steering response, lighter body, and gearing configuration (both cars were 1.6L M/T). The B13 was more of a refined, proper sedan while the Lancer, a toy car for the 90's wannabe feeling-rezing dudes (like I was). lol

The B13 had better lower-end torque so it has a taller gearing ratio on the low gears. By comparison, the Lancer had more vroom than zoom on the lower gears, so it's indulging you to rev high on the first couple of gears..... kinda like a Civic. At least that was my experience with these cars.

For a time, I was also contemplating on getting a project B13 that I can restore.... just for old times' sake. But my priorities have changed since.

That said, good luck on your adventure and do update this thread if and when you get a B13.
