Nissan factory OEM clutch disc made by Exedy

It is well known that Exedy makes factory clutches for most of the import car manufacturers as well as some of the domestics. But usually when a company is name branding their goods for use by an oem, they do not put their own name on as well.

Here is a picture of a clutch disc I just received from Pinnacle Nissan.



Sorry if this is a repost, but up until now the only name I have ever seen on a Nissan clutch disc has been Unisia.

I emailed DAVEB about 30210-2Y920 and he said it was smaller in diameter and he recommended the former one instead.

There is an error in the Nissan FAST database. It lists the 30100-2Y920 disc at 225mm but it shows it to be used with a 30210-2Y920 pressure plate which is listed at 240mm.

It wouldn't make sense for Nissan to use mismatched sizes so I figured it was an error. I ordered the 30100-2y920 disc and it matches up perfectly with the 30210-2y920 pressure plate.
