Nissan's SR20DE engines have long been a favorite in the tuning community, providing reliability and power in very small packages for everything as mundane as Sentras and Pulsars to the more exotic 180/200SX, Infiniti G20, and only-in-Japan Silvias. Long popular with the crapcan racing community, Nissan Sentra SE-Rs are the poster child to us non-drift focused car nuts. But did you know that for three years, Nissan offered a smaller, sportier alternative to the SE-R for similar money, with wider tires and bigger brakes standard, and not just overseas, but right here on the North American continent? Okay, you're car geeks, so you probably already know about the NX2000, but it's time for a refresher (and an introduction for those of you who are still scratching your heads). Find this

Words and tip from DT commenter & contributor Bill Haworth, aka Tetsu_no_Usagi.
The Nissan B13 SE-R and NX Hatch were two cars that received near universal praise in the press and from enthusiasts for being fun to drive and extremely easy to modify. These models are prone to rust which is the main reason why you see so few decent examples up for sale any more. Being rare does not always translate into being valuable though. Today's reasonably priced NX2000 has been modified to excel at autocross, is said to be rust free, and has the tasty SR20VE engine swapped in.
