Going to replace my clutch soon, looking for part numbers and best price

I'm looking for the parts needed for a clutch swap and rear main seal replacement. I'm going to go with a 5th gen kit. So far I have:

release bearing: 30502-41U20
clutch cover: 30210-89F00
clutch disk: C0100-6E600

axle seals (non LSD) 38342-81X00 and 38342-81X01
Rear Main seal retainer ring: 12296-31U20

Questons:
1. Do I need any additional parts?
2. Should I order more Redline Synthetic gear oil, or can they reuse what's in there now?
3. What's the diffrence between the clutch disk C0100-6E600 and 30100-40U14?
4. Where's the best price to order from including shipping? I know of courtesy Nissan, Gerrands Nissan, Dave B. at South Point Nissan, and Jerry Rome Nissan. Which has the best price?

there is another seal for the rear main you may need if yours is leaking or if you just want to replace it since you are in there. it goes under the RMS and in the upper oil pan. if you replace the RMS you also need some permatex grey. also if your doing the work yourself you need parts cleaner/rags and grease for the clutch fork. and since you are in there you may as well bleed the clutch and add new fluid. you may need new exhaust gaskets if you remove the y pipe but you can use permatex red instead.

youre better off buying new fluid but its possible to collect the old and strain it just incase anything fell in it.

C0100-6E600 is 5th gen and 30100-40U14 is 4th gen. im not sure of the physical differences but i have the 4th gen disk and 5th gen cover.

i got a quote on everything from courtesy nissan and took it to my local dealer. no shipping for me that way.

Thanks for the response. I'm going to have a local mechanic do it, but buy the parts from nissan to make sure they use 5th gen OEM.

ah, well just make sure the work is warrantied from the mech. since you bought the parts else where. it wouldnt be cool to have a problem just because you didnt buy their parts.

I'm not looking for an Auto Zone part, NOOB! I want to know where the best price on OEM parts listed above are, as well as if I need new gear oil.

The difference between the 4th gen disk and the 5th gen disk is that the 5th gen disk is bigger. I have the 5th gen disk and cover.

I would get new gear oil.

I order my OEM parts from http://www.pinnaclenissan.com/ cheapest place I have found so far. You can try taking their prices to your local dealer like jstutter said.
