For the price, just get an SR O2 housing and use an SR downpipe. That's what most seem to do. Or, if you must, just get an SR downpipe and cut the flange off, rotate it, and re-weld it.

What kind of performance stuff are you looking for? The only parts that are "tough" to get are engine internals, headgaskets, clutches and flywheels. The rest either work, or can work with a little coaxing... Read the FAQ at the top of the forum...it has a lot of useful info...

Yes and no. Its not like with the SR where you whisper its name and parts rain down from the heavens. There's a lot available through NICO's sponsors. I've yet to come across a "Your #1 source for CA parts!!" sort of emporium though.

As always:1) Check the FAQ and other stickies.2) Use the Search feature to see where others got their parts.3) If that fails you ask where to find a specific part; someone will help you.

Damnit, c-rad beat me here.

yeah i searched and looked and all that good stuff. theres not a whole lot under the CA part of this forum. that first page has a lot of useful info though. but the performance im talking about would be like.. stuff i can't find. Ive already found the intake, exhaust, plugs, filters, and basically the universal stuff (bov, turbo timers bc's) im looking for stuff like manifolds and cams and pulleys and i think a turbo manifold. would a 300zx fuel filter fit on the ca also? thanks guys.

yeah, the z32 fuel filter is what most people use. for manifolds and stuff, check ebay (keyword: ca18det). for cams, cam pulleys and stuff, check http://www.perfectrun.com.au or the jun, tomei, etc. sites. ebay is the best though
