correction on crossover parts

[Drill_Sergeant]

i asked nissan about water pumps. FR and FF water pumps between CA's are different. i ordered an FF water pump and my pully snapped off the water pump when i gave it a little gas. and no i did not overtighten the belt. that seems to be the big stigma around here.

but anyways i was just informed by them. just thought i would make a post about it.

well then people who do use the clutch fan...take notice.

and now atleast you know that if this one can take the load of the fan...it will take any other load.

how were you able to get the part # for a rwd CA? I don't think the CA18ET uses the same pump does it? I say this because I've used the JDM part # given to me from someone in Japan, and punched it in the Nissan part computer at work, and it comes up as 1988 Pulsar water pump... which would make me think they were the same

i have not tried my current pump with the fan...it was laziness that found the solution. the fan was one more thing i had to deal with and so i got rid of it and wired up the a/c fan to run with the ignition instead. pump is still alive after a year so i think its a keeper. still makes me nervous though. i love the time i was just driving down the street and casually looked to my left to see a belt fly out of my wheel well and haul some serious booty down the road next to me..was so funny i didnt even care about replacing the pump, haha.

Sean you work at the Dealer????!!!!????? What can you get for a FSM? The dealer here in town is a ****!

[NeedCAforS13]

yeah... which fsm? pulsar or 240sx? and I'm assuming you want one for a 92? I'll see what I can do:)

i had brought this up a few times when i was going through water pumps, there are also cheap brands of pumps out there as well for the CA, just make sure yours looks exactly like the one that came off your JDM motor, with the bleed hole and C clip etc...

[biosehnsucht]

OK, so this has had me wondering, since I'll soon be getting a CA myself finally..

I searched up the #'s for the S13 CA18DET from the UK Nissan FAST parts catalog and the KN13 CA18DE from the US Nissan FAST (KN13 = pulsar). I can't check Japanese FAST, I got a corrupt B1 disc which has the S13 stuff on it (argh!) so can't double check that.

(alt = alternate #, aps = alternate parts search, which is if you do a APS on the part to see ALL not just first aps, only listed the #'s not already listed as alternate)(partsmaster is a part of FAST that can search all the models on CD(s) and list all that use a given part#. it pwns!)

part#'s from FAST:

UK S13:21010-V5529 alt 21010-50V25 aps 21010-50VY5

US Pulsar NX:0887-0289 21010-06E25 alt 21010-06E26

0289-0989 21010-06E26 alt BA010-06E26

searching for these parts in parts master:UK partsmaster:21010-V5529 used in: CA18ET (S12, 1087- ) CA18DET (S13, 0988- )

BA010-06E26 not used in anything when searching by the # itself

----------------------OK, so this would incate that RWD CA18ET and RWD CA18DET have the same design for water pumps, in fact at least originally they are identical. often times when alternate #'s have charachters instead of #'s in the XXAXX (where A is normally a letter, XX is normally #'s) that indicates a locally supplied part (i.e. built "locally" rather than in japan or wherever the original parts are sourced, hence why often replacement parts have alternate #'s for the local supply, you see this w/ oil filters for example)

Furthermore, it would indicate, at least with ORIGINAL PARTS *NOT* ALTERNATE that FWD and RWD are interchangable. However, if the aftermarket/rebuilt pump is made to FWD alternate / local spec it wouldn't necessarily be suitable for RWD as many have pointed out problems. Someone might want to look for a pump for a CA18ET next time they need one and compare if it has the C clip etc that seems to be the important difference..

wheee, thats alot of crap.(edit: correction of uncertainty of corrupt Japanese FAST disc, being more specific about "all CA" vs "all FWD CA" in the partsmaster UK section, being more specific about BA...-..... part#)
