I was wondering about this. These bolts are like 3 bucks each new. 8 in all I believe.

YES! They are EXACTLY the same bolt, do not let the Nissan Parts guy talk you into getting new ones. I already made that mistake when I did my 5spd conversion on my last max. Then, low and behold, I go to swap them and they are the exact same bolt!

if in fact our flywheel is thicker in my opinion it would be wise to get the new longer ones. But if they are the same exact length dont bother.

I'll second that. I used my auto flexplate bolts for the flywheel when I did my tranny swap. Use some Loctite and torque them to spec and they'll do fine.

Yeah the ones that attach the flywheel to the engine are the same but if you have an aftermarket flywheel you will need to get a few more things.

Not that its needed, but some one could send a bolt sample to ARP and I bet they have a bolt in their inventory that matches those.

Well if you have the stock flywheel you need to take off a disc that is bolted to the middle and put it on the fidanza because it doesnt come with it. This is needed so the sensor on the engine side can read the flywheel speed.

are you talking about the big sheet metal ring that has little teeth that are all around it? or is there something thats in the middle of the flywheel?

you have a pic of it? I went to the dealer askign about that part and they said it was for the auto TC and not flywheel. Its a metal disc maybe 5" diameter with bolt holes in it- is that what your talking about?
