Does anybody know if a KA or SR clutch will fit on a CA? It might be a stupid question, but I was just wondering.

whoa don't get mad, I gave you fair warning that it might be a stupid question. Thanks for the answer tho, thats what I thought, I just wanted to make sure.

Did you have a difficult time with your CA in your Dime? Are you happy with the results?

everything about that car was difficult. thats why i liked it. but it was to much of a project for me at the time, the whole car needed restoration. i got most of it done, but never actually got to drive it before i sold it.

it was much easier for me to just do s13's, but i will hopefully do another 510 once i own my own home, with a garage. projects like this dont work out when you rent.

drifttopia has a write up for the sr clutch swap, you need to grind the inside of the bell housing a lil bit and might need new flywheel bolts, also a '86 200sx gear reduction starter.
