WHOA!! a guy in iowa city with a CA 240! Im in iowa city too man, going to Iowa. I would love to see your car if it is at all possible. Anytime you have time man, it would be awesome if you stopped at Milio's on Highway 1 next to Fin and Feather. I work there and am there Mon-Fri 11-5.

Anyways to your question... pulsars use the same oil filter as they have the same engine. So if your filter is half the size, I would prolly go ahead and switch to the pulsar filter. and btw the sticky above has all the crossover parts from the USDM ca18de that can be used on the JDM ca18det.

Cool man! I will look out for you. I am the delivery guy there so I will be in and out of the store. anytime after 2pm would be good cuz the deliveries die done around then, but come whenever you can.

Well as of right now my 240 has been sitting in my parents garage in des moines for about 2 years now. I bought a CA from boost boy here about 2 years ago also and haven't done anything with it, as I have barely any tools, my parents garage is crappy, and I really have no mechanical experience at all...i feel like i bit off more than I can chew...

currently I am driving a 03 Mitsubishi Montero for the winter and my 94 Mustang GT is in storage for the winter. the stang has recently become my autocross car and I am wanting to get my 91 240sx running with the CA in the spring. I want to have it ready for next season and get competitive with the veterans in the Street Mod class.

Btw my name is Yo and I hope to see you tomorrow...
