Hey there everyone.
I have been having trouble finding the needed KN13 Pulsar NX SE parts car I need to swap a CA18DET into my 89 Sentra (GA16I). The parts I need include axles, motor mounts, shift linkage, and clutch system and pedal. Problem is, I can only find NX SE parts cars over a thousand miles away, and thus I am exploring other options. I think I can find the axles and motor mounts online, but as for the clutch system and shift linkage, I think I am SOL.
So, I have a kinda two part question for everyone.
I am not at all familiar with the hydraulic clutch system on the NX SE, and the clutch system on my car currently is a cable system. Is there any way to actuate the SE master cylinder and clutch with the stock B12 clutch pedal?
Or, is there any chance a later model Sentra has a hydraulic clutch system that could be used, via slight modification perhaps? Maybe a B13 with an SR20 and a 5 speed would have a hydraulic clutch system? Or even a GA16DE car? (Those are much more common around here)
Sorry for the stupid questions, but I want to get engine this in my car and not just in my yard!
