B14 vs b15
Just wondering what makes one "better" than the other, if that can be said. I've driven a few B15 SE PP's and loved them. (Used to have an 02 Spec V-like the SE PP better) I like the look of the B14 SE as well, like the interior a lot. I seem to remember hearing the roller engine in the B15 is more loved, heck I loved the original SR20 engines. I think the B15 PP has a limited slip where the B14 does not, correct me if I'm wrong.
I found a B14 SE-L that I'm planning to go and check out today or tomorrow. I wish I could find the steal on a B15 like someone just posted for $4100 with 85k miles though!! Seems like if it has a clean title, decent to good paint, and isn't trashed, it's worth $2500 or more period.

SE-L are hard to find CLEAN, it seems like they rust very easy as I seen them all over the country rusting. I have both, SE-L looks nice and is smaller. The 01 SE is bigger more roomy.

And it's the same color as yours! Not sure what I think about it yet.
Well, I didn't even have to get out of my Burban. Both sides looked liked an army of monkeys with ball peen hammers went to town.....

Man, b15 all day. Newer, roomier, bigger engine bay/room infront of support for turbo stuff, updated features, etc. Better in every way.

I have an 01 SE with a VE that i've debated on selling. It's in the for sale section if you want to take a look. I'm in Southeast VA, so probably driving distance from you.

Just throwin it out there, not in a rush to sell by any means.

I've own both for over 10 years.

Depends on your goal, the b15 had more room, better brakes, better steering, better trans, eaiser to find or upgrade parts from the spec v model. Plus the rr responds well to mods.

The b14 is more raw, and is easier if you plan on boosting. But only the 95-97 have the lsd in the trans. The b15 SE PP has lsd.

I like the b14 SE-L cause of there uniqueness

If you planning on using this as a daily I would go b15, but more so of a project then a b14. VE or Boost in the future? Go b14 then.

I prefer b14, when nissan was still good and making unique kick ass shit, instead of the crap they make now. Once 2001 hit it all went down hill. Now the 2.0 b15 i dont mind. I used to speak good of b16's as well till mine went to hell.

B15 has a less crappy rear beam I think. That has that going for it.

I didn't get one single response to this same question on the "other" forum. Thanks!
Can't find your SE for sale. I'm from Roanoke/Franklin County.
