I swear i was at the dealership that i do electrical work for yesterday night and i saw a wrecked 200sx with a different body style than the s12, alot newer id say. Anyway the hood was all crunched up so i looked inside. The engine was a ca20!?! It was i swear. Anyone ever heard of this?

If it was a CA20 I'd say it's got to be an s12. What about it looked different?

Well, you can't always count on that. The 91+ 180sx had a 2.0 litre SR20DET in it though it was named for the CA18DET. The s12 200sx also had a few different options as well.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it as well. I just wanted to point out the possible variations :)
