the similarities between teh CA and RB and that recent twin plate RB clutch on ebay.. that it says will fit a CA... and injectors are interchangable....

what about other parts... like pulleys or alternators (i dont know, are RB alternators bigger?)but specifically, i havnt really seen any lightweight pulley/underdrive pulley sets for CAs .. lots for SRs, but im sure they exist for RBs

anyone heard anything or tried it? (pulleys, or anything else for that matter from an RB)

RB bottom pulley is loads bigger than the CA one, if it does fit it would be about 2 x overdrive; which isn't really what you'd want.

cam pulley's are different.

my 200sx (CA20E) used a different crank pulley... A fwd CA18DE pulley will be the same, but with one less belt groove (the a/c and p/s are run off the same belt on FWD motors)
