Thanks for the confirmation.


And so I wonder why, oh why, does Nissan have such contempt for us being able to feel the clutch.

But yes, I did loosen the ABS module from the bottom and shifted it a bit. It provided some room for me to pull the MC out but not enough to take it all the way out. I'm not sure but maybe I'm not moving the module enough but it just seemed to not want to budge anymore and I'm afraid of forcing it and causing a kink in one of the lines somewhere so I stopped. There's just this black bracket that the module sits on top of that the MC hits and I cannot seem to get around it.
you have to take the 4 bolts holding the brake booster out to get more room. It's a pita to get the last bolt out. Wiggle the MC down all the way and it will slip right out. I've done this job more than once on mine and friends G'z. PM me with questions

Thanks bro, I appreciate the advice.

Yeah, I brought the car to a shop but they were extremely busy so I eventually just worked on the car there myself. When I got stuck, they helped me out and had me remove the brake booster to get enough space to pull the master out. Bled the system with GTR fluid and everything so far has been really good. Hoping that the issue is resolved with no more problems!!

Thanks for chiming in!

All things considered, and in relative terms, that's still good news, right?

How long has it been operating without any issues since the master cylinder was swapped?

Fingers crossed

I was skimming through this thread. How is everything with the clutch? I had an 06Z that did the same thing. Replaced the clutch fluid and bleed it, worked for a short time and the issue came back. I did some more research and saw the the line some times weaken and will bubble out when pressure it added. I replaced it with a steel braided and that seemed to fix the issue.

Clutch pedal is still good. No spongy feeling or issues since the MC swap!
