![]() I am pretty close to getting a ca18det but i wanted to keep my power steering and a/c. How do i go about keeping it? do u use the OEM PS and a/c that came with my car, or do i need a new one that fits the CA?

1)If you've got an 89-90 (KA24E), you can bolt your existing A/C pump up to the CA. To make this work you need to swap the pulley from the CA's A/C pump to the KAE's pump. From all I've researched there's a special tool for this that only Nissan dealerships have. No one's been able to explain what sort of magical tool this is, so I theorize it requires pixies and expensive chocolate to operate. I personally don't care, because... 2)If you have a 91-98 (KA24DE) your KA pump won't work at all. However, any decent A/C shop should be able to braze a set of lines to the pump that's on your CA and you can use that. Which is what I'll be doing. There's a fairly fresh thread on this over in the CA section of NICO, but this about summarizes it. |

There's a chance that the pump off of a RWD CA18ET (S12 200sx) or FWD CA18DE (87-90 Pulsar) might fit as well. The Pulsar is usually the first stop for sourcing parts, but given its transverse mounting I think the 200sx might be a more likely source for accessories. The SR20 folks may have a larger aftermarket, but we can fix our engines without calling Japan. ![]() |
