Almost everything can be had from a 88 Nissan Pulsar w/ the CA18DE. HOWEVER, don't get a water pump from one, get it from a S12 200SX CA18ET, something like 1986? And, I'd personally recommend getting an OEM one.

You can search on the water pump issue, suffice it to say RWD water pump pully + FWD water pump or vice versa = exploding water pump. Since you should have a RWD pully with your motor, you should use a RWD (CA18ET) pump.
