Nice engine, I must say...but my 1.6 GA16DE is shot. Makes a ringing sound when I gun it. Any ideas?

It's not really that "quick". It is quick for a 1.6L engine with the proper mods but you end up with an engine that consumes gasoline as fast as the 2.0L SR20DE. In the end, my experience told me it would be cheaper (overall) to have upgraded the GA16DE engine with a factory stock SR20DE. You will spend less money, more horsepower, better fuel economy and better engine reliability as well.

The Sentra LEC with the 1.3L carb engine came out around 1995. Chances are you are looking at a Nissan Sentra 1.6L ECCS Super Saloon.

It comes with power steering, electric adjust side mirrors and power windows as standard.

Fuel consumption with a manual transmission should be around 6 to 8km/L for typical city driving, depending on how bad traffic is in your area.

And also is the price okay 110k
- 15' rim
- Pioneer stereo
- tinted
- strong A/C
- MT
- Orig Paint
- First own
- All original
- New tires (front)
- registered (2007)
- heater ( para sa fog )
- Lady driven

I won't really hold much value to the "lady driven" part since lady driven can also mean it wasn't maintained that closely and repairs was only done when something obvious broke down.

Since it is a very old car, you might want to ask for the car's mileage, major parts that was replace since the car was new (including A/C switches, compressor, suspension stuff, alternator, power steering components/hose).

I used to own/drive a Sentra B13 so I kinda have personal knowledge of the parts you would need to replace sooner than later.

yup... the timing chain means you almost never need to replace it.

As long as the owner changed the oil regularly. ;) Our 1993 B13 reached almost 150,000kms when we sold it and it never needed a new chain or tensioners.

- Lady driven

I suggest you check out the lady first.

Tell the seller

"I demand to see the lady!"

The Car is good tinest ko cya.. wala akong marinig na ingay ng makina and yet lakas humatak

pag naka full stop parang nakapatay ung makina wala akong marinig
wala pang ingay sa loob except for the break sa harap na medyo lumangitngit pudpod na ata

Underchasis is good also

The LEC is 16 valves but with a 1.3 liter displacement. Maybe that's why the thread starter thought it was 1.6. The LEC has a rear door decal proclaiming it to be "TWIN CAM 16V".
