need some help on CA18det and some other questions
hey guys..(yeah i know this one is long too but i had to)
well ok here is the story. Im ukrainian (if someone doesnt know its a country in easter europe bording with Russia, post USSR) ok so i moved to US about 4-5 years ago. so my uncle who still lives there drives a 1990 Nissan Vanette Largo, it's a mini van straight from Japan as him as well as my dad used to import alot of Japanese cars because both used to sail on ships and stopped by Japan alot and could get an affordable, reliable good ol' Japanese car. so anyway the van has the CA18DET in it...yes a van...anyways for some reason now he needs a stock ECU for the car. it has a manual tranny. i heard that '88 Nissan Pulsar NX SE has that same motor and the Nissan Bluebird, early Silvias and 200x had that motor but i dont know if the ECU from Pulsar would work? so i need some info on that maybe someone knows some websites or places to call where i could order one from. its kind of complicated for him to order it from there so i have to. also as mentioned above my dad used to import alot of cars from Japan drive them for a little bit then when he used to go back out sell the car for more then he bought it for get something else and so on and he had some bad ass ones too..for example the R-32, not the GT-R version but it was still an R-32 (pure sex), also had Celica awd turbo, and VR-4 GTO (3000GT here.) umm you can believe it or not i dont really care but what he is tryin to find out is how much and how long would it take to import a car here to US from Japan just in case anyone did or knows someone who did this or has some websites for that too..umm well thast pretty much it and sorry for a LONG post and i prbly will be postin this in some other forums so yeah thanks for any help guys.

Re: need some help on CA18det and some other questions
the US never got the ca18det, best bet is
www.enjukuracing.com
www.phase2motortrend.com
they might...*might* have an extra ca18det ecu laying around. anyone who imports motors, especially like the sr20det possibly pulled in a ca18det ecu. might also wanna check the classifieds on freshalloy.com and zilvia.net
