Our B13 Sentra E winter beater gets its 1st mod (a tach and clock!) -

ceboyd · 09-27-2009, 10:51 AM

Those who know the b13 well know the base Sentra E did not even include a tach *much less a clock...

...so last week when I went to the local junkyard, I finally found a 93 Sentra WITH tach and clock.

The mod was not as easy as it seemed (factory manuals had incorrect wiring diagrams FTL) but thankfully Mike is an engineer and was eventually able to figure it all out and solder it to work..

It was a project he would have never even considered had he known all the issues because it took all day yesterday.. BUT I must say the end results are nice!

Before and after shots:

IN the car before swap:

OLD one out of the car after speedo swap so the car kept the correct odometer:

and final product IN the car:

Talk about spartan. Were there any library books under the seats?

Great first mod Chris.

haha, no library books.. very clean inside...

and now it has all new brakes at all 4 corners (and super blue brake fluid - lol)

only thing left to do is a nicer stereo setup (on order) and the clutch cable needs to be replaced because it's too stretched and cannot be adjusted any more...

you missed the part about the car only having 82k miles when I bought it.. I swapped out the ORIGINAL odo and speedo to keep it with the car

MAYBE LOOK AGAIN AT THE IN CAR BEFORE SWAP PHOTO????????????

I don't know how much clearer I can make this!!!

(I made another post here showing when I bought the car).. I wasn't about to ADD 18k miles that never got put on the car.. sheesh people!!!!!
