Both GuidoSST and myself have done a little research and have been able to pull up some part numbers concerning the components of the true OEM clutch. Guido was given last years copy of Nissan's "FAST" program which is there part number vs VIN program. Here's what we've come it with:

clutch disc
30100-40U11 (~$80 from Jerry Rome Nissan)

clutch cover, aka: pressure plate
30210-40U03
alt number 30210-40U06 (~$120 from Jerry Rome Nissan)


release bearing (aka throwout bearing)
30502-96E20
alt number 30502-31U20 (~$33 from Jerry Rome Nissan)


crankshaft bushing (aka Pilot) (don't know if this is needed)
32202-B9500 (~$5 from Jerry Rome Nissan)


cover bolts (9) (don't know if this is needed)
30223-07S00

cover washers (9) (don't know if this is needed)
30240-07S00


Most importantly, here's the Key Value Clutch Kit to stay away from:

30001-16ES2

The Nissan parts database calls it a crankshaft bushing? Interesting. I never understood why it was called a "bearing" in our case:

Any way to find out who oems for them and get a pressure plate rating? Nice work Dave

Unfortunately the program doesn't do that. I'd bet only the Nissan engineers would know how makes the OEM disc and what the rating is on the pressure plate. I think it's safe to assume that Exedy does make the disc since they make most of the clutch discs for other Nissans.

Well for a long time, Daiken was the oem maker for alot of Datsun/Nissan clutch parts. I was able to save alot of $ by ordering though dist that carried Daiken. For now, I care mostly about the PP as most organic discs should be "okay". Sometimes if you are lucky the oem maker's stamp is on the part of question. ie.. some discs have Exedy's name on it. Personally I've never found a stamp on the PP. Wish I could though

Just wondering why you say to avoid the "Key Value Clutch Kit"?

Thanks,
