5th Gen pressure plate
i am installing my new tranny soon, and i will be replacing my clutch while im at it. I have read quite a bit about people using the 5th gen pressure plate with success. I am pretty sure i know the answers to the questions im going to ask, but id like to have some other thoughts just to double check this.
1. Parts i need:
-5th gen pressure plate
-4th gen clutch disk
-4th gen throwout bearing(release bearing)
-5qt of GL-4 Amsoil 75W90 gear oil
-Axle seals (drivers and passenger)
2. Just need to hear it to finalize any second thoughts im having, this is 100% no modifications required to use the 5th gen pp.
3. Anyone had any negative feedback with the 5th gen pp in the 4th gen?
4. Rougly how much would it cost. I work at nissan so i should be able to get good prices on this stuff. (im doing it myself at work, and getting paid for it)
5. How much power can this setup handle? I do have some future plans(forced induction or possibly 3.5 swap) but there not happening for awhile. i just want a smooth engaging clutch that can handle some power( bolt ons)
Thanks

You may as well go with the 5th gen disk, I think its cheaper too.
It should handle a 3.5, but dont go crazy with the power adders. This clutch is used on a 222-227 hp motor, the 3.5 is 255-265 hp. If the swap is that far down the road you could just buy another clutch that can handle the power.
You cant go wrong with the OEM non key value clutch. Its about $200. I got a quote from Courtesy Nissan and took the prices to my local dealer. They gave me the same price. If not they would have charged me much more.

i think its 4.75 without lsd, and 4.25 with, might as well get a bit more then what you need just in case.\
about the gear oil, i know its all over the net, but id perfer to buy it local, so i dont have to pay shipping and wait till i gets here
