yep, but if you're using it in an S12, it will be too long. Your shifter will be about an inch back from where it normally would be. You CAN combine a CA18DET bellhousing with a CA18ET transmission to achieve the proper length if you want

its a smaller flywheel on the CA18ET, but it is the same pattern, and bolt size... CA20E however, is not the same bolt pattern.

ahh you are correct sir! Its the pulsar flywheel (FWD CA18DE) that uses the smaller flywheel. The pulsar has the same bolt pattern as the silvia (8 bolt). CA20E and CA18ET are the same flywheels... but they are only 6 bolt.
