Just curious, what are the advantages of having the battery in the trunk ?

Mike - best bet it to buy the pressure plate from NISSAN or one
of our roadster suppliers.
As I mentioned in the past my local autoparts place (good quality
stuff) only showed one listing for 1600/2000 roadster 510, etc.
The 2000 pressure plate has a much higher clamping force than the
1600 roadster or 510. Their old catalog listed different pressure
plates, with a "heavy duty" option for the 510. Well no more.
The 2000 item is stiffer, but will lost much longer than a 1600
item. Pulling the engine/transmission for clutch work is a pain.
Buy the proper NEW (not rebuilt) items, and do not worry about
it for another 10 (?) years.

Proper installation:
Separate ground cable to the engine, additional strap to the
frame.
Vented.
Enclosed battery box... a loose wrench landing ontop of an
open battery is bad news.
Look at the "Sealed" Optima batteries. Also carried by
Interstate. Non-vented, no acid, can be mounted on it's
side.
Cheers,
Tom
