This is urgent!!!!

I am driving across canada back to Ottawa and my Silvia has gone kaputs on me.
my battery blew and melted my fusebox and my alternator is toast as well.

Can I use any fusebox from other s chassis? I assume I can only rebuild my ca alternator.

Any answers and help would be appreciatted. I am currently stranded in Calgary while I try and source parts. Luckily I have friends in town who took me in.

Cheers

While I'm not sure the answer to the questions you asked good luck from a fellow calgarian shouldn't be too hard to find parts lots of s chassis around here

Jersthecool, if youre close enough you go always go lend a hand.

It solely depends on how bad everything is.
Is there wiring damage? If your harness is melted to shit because of the fuse box, you're going to have to get a new one of those as well.

You can use a fuse box from another car with a CA18, I'm not sure what the differences are in harnesses from the CA to the SR.

The harness is ok. It's just the fusebox. It's at a shop in town right now. Fingers cross this can be fixed. Sucks when shit like this happens away from home.

Post on calgary kijiji that's the place where I find most local parts and cars, just post up a wanted ad and tell them to contact you immediately. I don't have the parts but would be more than willing to lend a hand, PM me if you need anything.
