We love the Nissan NX2000. Your humble host once owned a 1993 Sentra SE-R – very closely related – and loved it. It’s high on the ‘would love to have another’ list.
Here we have an SR20DET swap, which could make it even more fun. Of course, certain details on this car make us wonder how well done it is. Aside from recent Lexus news making us think of the NX, it’s the hood scoop that landed this car on our pages.

Gotta love egg eyes and crappy homemade hood scoop! T-tops are a nice NX bonus item, too.
Interior is pretty much Sentra. Aftermarket gauge installation is – err – interesting:
