WIll that work? I'm trying to replace the alternator in my S13 Silvia as cheaply as possible.

If not, are there any North American alternators that would work in that engine?

i know it sounds retarded, but i got a starter for my CA off a early 90 nissan truck.

Turns out there are a few USDM nissans that have a CA18DE - so pretty much the same thing except the turbo...

The only US car I know to use the CA18DE is the Pulsar NX SE.
