ok .. i used the cross reference today to buy some tune up parts for my ca which is scheduled for delivery on tuesday .. these are all the parts ive bought for my install .. tell me if u guys think i got all the nessecary parts and let me know if im missing anything ..also .. all my parts were from auto zone 88 pulsar 1.8l engine.. the nearest nissan dealer is like 60 miles away .. and i dont got a car .. had to bum a ride :( so this is what was available .. hate this small town

I need a 3" catback now tho .. will order by 2morrow tho

I Think that sums it up for now ... im not sure how clean the engine is .. its supposedly supposed to only have 60k miles on it .. which i think isnt that bad .. when i replace the water pump ill check to see if the timing belt needs replacement .. ive got a autometer oil press. gauge laying around that i wanna throw in asap to make sure the pump is in good shape .. just need to save up some cash to get a oil filter adapter from spl ... damn bspt threads .. well .. any info is greatly appreciated and im thankfull for ur help .. im anxious yet precautious .. this has taken a dent outta my pocket and i want it to be worth it ... but i have NO regrets at all with my decision on the CA18DET .. when i start doing my swap ill keep a update on everything and try and get some pics .. :) :rockon

just do the timing belt when you replace the water pump. and while you've got all that stuff off, spend the extra money and effort and get the cam/crank seals. Personally, i'd say that you need to take your plugs back and get NGK's, but thats just me, and thats just my experience that tells me that i've never seen another brand of plugs run perfect in a Nissan engine.
