Well, the CA18DET is from my understanding a direct bolt up for the Pulsar(I had the same idea for my 88'B12). I would think the tranny from an 88'+ pulsar SE with just the CA18DE should work with it...., I wouldnt see why the tranny would be differnt between the FWD JDM CA18DE(T) or USDM CA18DE, since it was used here also in the US. check on www.nissanforums.com, that should help you out alot. also talk to jjkamikaze , he's on the forum, he could be a big help to you also..
