Maybe you need a new clutch?

Have you checked your tranny fluid? I'm not an expert but maybe that's why you have difficulty shifting into first. I'd start with cleaning it the best I can, inside and out.

I'll check it out after work. I'm getting the day off tomorrow so I'm probably gonna drive it out to my friend's garage and look around under it. I'm definitely going to replace the clutch cable.

in another thread another anon had the same issue. he was recommended to change ALL the fluids- tranny, oil change, wiper fluid change, power steering if there's any, brake fluid, change the fuckin parking brake fluid(joke). change all the fluids, if it was a mantinencr/project car it likely sat around and shit could have contaminated the smaller fluids like brake and power steering, but you just need to replace the oil and tranny fluid cause the car is old and you don't know the last time he did.

t. watch a lot of car videos on youtube

>>17870656
or you could've not been a faggot and bought a car that needed nothing.

>>17870672
not everybody sucks dick for money anon. also people want project cars for a reason sometimes

Buy a long tube header for it. It made a noticeable increase in performance on mine

>>17870679
a shitty sentra is not a good project car and not fun to work on. you'll put hours and money into it and it'll still be a $500 shitbox. I guess your time is worthless.

a sentra will never be collectible

Except I'm not doing it for resale. I am doing it because

Stop being a faggot.

B13 SE-Rs already have a small but loyal cult following. It was a very fast subcompact for the early 90's, setting speed records, and is praised for its great handling.

>i want to learn how to work on cars
>wouldn't want to start out with something expensive

yes OP is genius. why wrench a $5000 car as a beginner if you might fuck up? $500 is 2 weeks pay and can be a test. it's like why people get virtual machines to test programs on before downloading them to their main operating system

>>17870599
>Where should I start?
Clean it, bleed lines / replace fluids, check brake pads and rotors (god help you if you have drum brakes) and if you don't have any plans for it (forced induction, upgrading/swapping engine, etc.) then replace things as they go.
>Is it supposed to sound like a fart machine?
Maybe, try replacing your exhaust header and catback exhaust (a must if you're going turbo anyway)
>Why is it so difficult to get into 1st sometimes?
Try bleeding your clutch lines and putting in new fluids. Or just replacing your clutch altogether
