Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit a 2005 Altima SE-R?

Yes. EXEDY USA lists the 06952A for the 2005-2006 Altima SE-R, and Turn 14 adds the 2002-2006 Altima SE and SL and the 2002-2006 Maxima with the 3.5-liter V6. All of these manual cars use the 250 mm disc and 24-tooth, 25.6 mm input spline.

How much power will the Altima and Maxima clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 06952A at 444 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 355 lb-ft at the wheels from 2,271 lb of clamp load. That leaves a wide margin for a VQ35DE with bolt-ons and a tune, and covers forced-induction builds on moderate boost.

Is a cerametallic clutch a good idea on a front-wheel-drive car?

It is if the car is launched hard or tracked. The thick cerametallic disc resists the heat that builds when a front-drive car slips its clutch to manage wheelspin. On a lightly modified daily driver, the EXEDY Stage 1 organic kit gives smoother engagement with plenty of capacity.

Does the kit fit the four-cylinder Altima?

No. The 06952A is listed for the 3.5-liter V6 models only. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder Altima uses a different clutch and input spline, so check the engine before ordering. Every application on the list pairs the VQ35DE with a six-speed manual gearbox.

What else should be replaced with the clutch?

Resurface or replace the flywheel, and fit a new release bearing while the transaxle is out. Inspect the engine and transmission mounts as well, since worn mounts on these sedans let the drivetrain move under load and make a firmer EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch feel harsher than it is.

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for L31 Nissan Altima and A33 / A34 Maxima (Thick Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for L31 Nissan Altima and A33 / A34 Maxima gives the front-drive VQ35DE sedans a clutch that copes with wheelspin, launches and an engine that has been opened up with intake, headers and a tune. Its 250 mm thick cerametallic disc and 2,271 lb of clamp load are rated at 444 lb-ft at the flywheel, a long way past what these cars need in stock form.

Design and Performance

The ductile-cast cover and thick cerametallic disc share their dimensions with the EXEDY 350Z kit: 250 mm on a 24-tooth, 25.6 mm spline. On a front-drive car the heavier facing earns its place in heat capacity, because launches involve more clutch slip to control wheelspin. The sprung center damper reduces the shock that reaches the axles and engine mounts.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
