Hi all!

Title says it all!

I have a 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX SE. Parts are scarce to non-existent, and whole cars aren't far behind.
I have come across a 1987 Pulsar SE for cheap and thinking of picking it up for parts.

Question - Will the parts from the 1987 fit and work well on the 1988?

If not, I am in need of an oil pan. Any ideas on a place to find one? No on the following:

local junk yards
ebay
amazon
online parts stores
dealership

Thank you all for your wisdom! :D

I'm not an N13 expert, but I'm pretty sure there weren't any differences between 1987 and 1988. I know the engines are the same.

The only difference is the 1987 has a CA16DE (smaller bore, but all else interchanges) and the drive train is completely different. The injectors might be different as well, but I'm not totally sure.

CA16 were '87 only. At least in the US it was.
