Rear end acting weird
I went out somewhere and while I was driving the car out of nowhere the car started making a really loud noise and shaking and when I parked the car won’t even move at 3k rpm and when the clutch is almost fully out it will try to but it’s getting stopped by the brakes or something. Any ideas?

only way to get an idea of whats going on is by jacking the car up and taking a look under there. Can be multiple things. I suggest towing back home and getting under there and take a look. Good luck

As bre240 mentioned, your best bet is to get the vehicle towed for a closer inspection. Either home or to a shop if you don't have the appropriate tools or knowledge to diagnose.
Failure possibilities...
Broken axle (what I suspect)
Broken driveshaft
Broken clutch/pressure plate
Broken transmission/gears
Broken/seized differential
Broken wheel bearing
Broken/seized brake caliper (unlikely)
All of these are serious/catastrophic failure modes. DO NOT drive the vehicle in it's current state, additional damage may result.
Can you better describe the "loud noise" and "shaking" you observed? Is this happening while parked in neutral, engine on? Does this only happen while attempting to drive the vehicle in gear? Is the loud noise metallic sounding? Is it a banging/knocking sound or more like a grinding/whirring?
If you don't know, best to get it towed to a pro for deeper inspection. We here on the forums can only help so much in situations like this. The more detailed information that can be provided the better, but without hands/eyes on the vehicle it's mostly best guesses and speculation.
Good Luck!

And my rear brakes at the same time because one of my rotors and calipers was excessively worn on only one side of it

from the sounds of it the wheel bearing was on its way out and finally probably gave out. Also seems like that brake caliper is probably stuck not letting the car move freely. Sounds like its various parts that maybe damaged here. Were you driving the car aggressively and then this happened?

Based on the description, you have a broken axle at a minimum. The diff is just spinning the broken axle (instead of giving power to the good wheel), making it flop around, causing the noise and vibration. What caused the axle to break is more complicated to surmise, but I would imagine it's related to the suspected bad wheel bearing. I have a feeling the ONLY thing holding that wheel on right now is the brake caliper bracket and rotor (insanely dangerous to attempt to drive). Get it towed and investigate.
Fingers crossed you don't have control arm or suspension/wheel damage, also hoping the caliper + bracket aren't bent, but don't be surprised if they are (based on description of the rotor, I think they are toast). Axles and wheel bearings aren't very expensive or difficult to fix/replace. Z1 offers a decent 370Z axle upgrade kit which includes the wheel bearings + hub assemblies and axles for both rear wheels. It's cheaper when you compare to OEM 350Z components. If I was in your shoes, I would probably get the Z1 upgrade kit. The 370Z bearings are beefier and less prone to failure.
Good Luck!

I had to use a breaker bar and a closed end wrench to crack the CV axle bolts + nuts free. My little DeWalt 3/8 cordless impact wasn't up to the task, also the axle gets in the way of a straight socket, so you need to use a wobble impact socket to really get on there, even then you may find that clearance is very tight.
Good Luck!
