Universal aftermarket part number is 48582. I got this from Autocom. I had it measured over and over again to verify that it was the corrrect one. The 10-1966 through 6-1969 clutch disc is different. 1 inch I.D and 24 spline. The old part number is 30100 14801, the new part number is 30100 28600. Neither of these part numbers will even pull up in Nissan's system, they were provided through a book one of the dealers had.

I found a site that listed all the aftermarket part numbers for Nissan clutches, and the related O.G. part numbers that they worked with. Both numbers were in that list. For some reason, the J13 engine is left off of all the lists. The L16 was listed as well as 1500cc engine. I guess they figured since the J13 is so old, that they didn't need to list it. However, both the part numbers were included in their list. I'll let you know if everything works out. Autocom 800-273-3500 Keith, can supply a complete clutch kit, but I am going back to using my original pressure plate(3 finger style) and throwout bearing(seems to be in good shape). Hopefully this will get me back on the road. My original clutch disc broke apart in a million peices.

Clutch is in, lost the spring for the slave cylinder though....can I go without it? Anyone know what other Nissans used this particular slave cyl, in case I need to junkyard it? All engine bolt threads were stripped so I used some 8mm X 1.25 30mm long bolts, nuts and washers. Starter is in, loolking to crank it up tomorrow. I have a driveshaft issue possibly though, see other post.
