Wanna sell it?  I could fake some pictures of you with a sheep or a goat or
something. ;-)  Seriously, congratulations.  I'm *so* jealous.  That's
almost impossible to find today and the classic is such a good car and to
find one unmolested is beyond belief.

Please do.

I used parts from a Sentra XE.  The actuator unit has a different length
throttle cable though and that can be a real PITA.  An SE-R or G20 would be
a better donor car.  I'm not certain about any differences between
high-port and low-port models.  Probably none.

Also, I've corresponded with a number of people about this upgrade and I
know there are some errors in my original article.  Perhaps one of them can
speak up.  If SE-R.net hasn't been updated with the corrections, it should be.

Boy howdy!
