Can this be done? I know they are both B15s but never heard of it done before.

 

You've never heard of it because all the parts are different. I'm no B15 expert, but last time I checked the entire front end, hubs/wheels/brakes, and of course engine/trans were different. Might as well just buy a Spec-V if you want one that bad.

 

For that kinda money youre better off just buying one outright.

 

For that kind of money just do an sr20det conversion . Just make sure you get someone who knows their shit to do it right....

 

+1 id PM taylor and get his input first.

 

i doubt taylor would want to do it.
and its a waste.

sell it and buy a b15 sentra se with the roller rocker sr20.
and be glad you didnt throw your money in the trash.

 

He asks about a specV conversion and you tell him to sell the car. Good tech advice. There are some enthusiasts out there, even if your not


I don't really see a point in spending all of that money (which would be a lot) to get to where a specV is, when you can go further if you just spent that money on some quality aftermarket stuff. Engine wise, you'd have to do a swap, QR or SR. If your talking about a front end conversion, I believe thats ~800-1000, unless you can find someone with your color, which is tough.

The cars are very different, and swapping in OEM shit is expensive. I would first try to find wrecked/salvage specs if I was bent on OEM parts. Then heavily consider a SR swap instead of the QR.

 

thank you for all the advice guys, I was looking to purchase my first car. I wanted some where to go performancewise.

 

i was just saying to get a b15 with an sr.
if he likes the looks of that car, that would be a better route.
or buy a spec v.

but either way, dont bother swapping everything.

 

Like dr.octogon said, get a 2000-2001 se and turbo it. It costs less money than a spec-v, its the same body style pretty much, and you can swap a gti-r in there whenever you're ready to do so.......
