Yes and no.  Yes, because B13 coupes and sedans were available as Sunnys,
and the current B15 is also sold as a Sunny, but I don't know about B14s.
It seems that there may have been an NX in Japan, but I don't recall
certainly.  No, because none of the JDM Sunnys had SR20DEs that *I* know
of.  If I'm right (and I'm often wrong), the SR20s were pretty much a
just-for-US option, meant to spike sales for sporty econoboxen.

If you can secure a Sunny, it should be pretty trivial to get a set of
US-spec motor mounts, even improved ones from Place Racing, and a front
clip from a P10, to fabricate a sort of Do-It-Yourself Classic.  You'd
need the engine, transmission, wiring harness, and SE-R axles, at least to
make it work, but it should be 100% doable.  You'd definitely want to
upgrade the brakes and suspension while you're at it, at least to NX
(AD22VF) parts.  The SE-R swaybars and springs were different (bigger), so
you'd want to upgrade those some day, too.

Another option that you may not have thought of would be to get an N14 or
N15 (Sunny, Pulsar, Almera, etc), which share many common components with
B13s and B14s, and do a similar job.  Plus, it'd be a hatchback, which
I've always been partial to. :D

Or you could just get a Primera with the right engine, better brakes,
better suspension geometry, and broader aftermarket support...but that'd
be too simple, wouldn't it? ;)
