If i remember correctly you need the brackets from a CA18ET on a 200sx (S12). You'll also need to custom weld a plate on it and make a hole for your nismo mounts .... or use the CA18ET mounts. Hope that helps

Not trying to hijack your thread.

You have Nismo specific CA18DET mounts? I didn't know they had CA mounts, where did you get them?

The Nismo CA18DET motor mounts can be purchased at Courtesy Nissan.

As for the engine mount bracket. Yes you can use the SOHC CA18ET or CA20E. I was in your position and researched it. Yes it would work but I didnt want to do it, so I went onto SXOC and got a set from members on their for $90 shipped. Sadly shipping was $45

Here are pictures of a CA18DET that was swapped into a S12.







This is what the S13 Engine Brackets look like.

Those 1st 2 pics are S12 motor mounts and brackets on an S13 subframe with a CA18DET. The problem with the CA18ET brackets is that there isn't aftermarket "stiff" ones that I'm aware one.
