I replaced the clutch pads on my 1988 turbo manual Z. First off, I don’t know if the automatics came with a different CLSD, but from my investigation they are two different carriers. The only difference between the two that I know is the bolts that hold the carrier together. One has 3 screws holding it and the other 4 screws. Mine is a 2.0 way 4 screws.
Now to the clutches they are 2 kit that fit our carrier
Part number 3843S-RS651 solid pattern (probably for a 1.5 way)

Part number 3843S-RS521 lines pattern (probably for the 2 .0 way) I dont have a picture for it.
But they are interchangeable mine is a 2.0 way and I used the solid pattern.
They are 12 clutches or( friction disc or plate)
1 Friction disk engage to the inside the parts that drives the axle
2 Friction plate engage to the carrier turn by the ring gear
2 springs disk the same as the friction disk, but it is concave and keeps the clutch pack loaded
4 springs plate same as the friction plate, but it is concave and keeps the clutch pack loaded
The more spring plates or disc the higher the breakaway of the clsd.
The one in my car came with 2 friction plates 2 springs’ plates and only on friction disc, so is only one disc per side transferring the power to the ground( not good). Both of the kits come with 2 spring plates,1 spring disc, 1 friction plate and 2 friction disk ,so 3 friction disc per side transferring the power to the ground and the extra spring increase the breakaway .The factory is 8Kgf and the Nismo kit is 12 kgf breakaway.
When the carrier is free from the ring gear then you can access the screws that hole the cap together. The carrier is mark if is not make sure to mark the two parts together.
