that's it. That was the only car I ever saw with a 4WD CA18. Can't you rebuild the one you have?

your my hero for owning one of those!

since you already have a ca18det, pretty much any ca18det will bolt in. You may have to convert some parts from your motor to the donor engine, but any ca can be made to fit in any ca engine bay.

Take my pulsar exa, for example, haveing a 180sx motor in it.

I have the AWD gearbox from a bluebird u12 attessa in my garage, 55k miles on it. I can't use it, but it'd have to be shipped from U.S.
