Default 240sx...clutch gone? external tanny? something else???

Well, i haven't fired the car up in a couple weeks, so i was just messing around with the suspension a little doing this and that etc.

anyways, i decided to start the car up and take it for a spin around some back roads by my house trying to make sure i dont cause to much noise for the neighbors (external wastegates with no dump tube is slightly loud haha).

Anyways, i decide after it warms up properly to do a 2nd gear pull, i was only on about 16lbs, about 50 degrees outside, all is going well, spinning like a ****, starting to pitch sideways making the front directed towards the center lane, as i reach about 5500rpm i hear a slight noise, nothing extreme, but i saw a few sparks shoot out at about mid car on the driver side in my review...

I everything seemed fine, i figured maybe the exhaust hit something, or i hit a bump and it tapped the driveshaft, so i finish my pull and proceed to press the clutch and shift 3rd, NOTHING.

Finally managed to get it in 3rd, but due to rev matching the gears. I depress the clutch pedal and it just sinks to the floor, providing only a slight sense of pressure against my foot, nowhere near normal.

I was thinking maybe master cylinder??? I went back in my s2k to view the survey the scene. Nothing on the ground, no fluids ANYTHING, take a quick peak under the car, didn't notice anything out of the norm, this is without lifting it by the way.

Managed to limp it home solely by rev matching. The engine sounded the same, just as healthy, no bad idling, no strange noises or backfiring, but it seemed like i dunno every 200 feet, it would make a screech like sheetmetal ever so lightly bounced off the ground, not obnoxiously loud or for a long period of time.

Any idea at what i could be looking at? Hopefully not expensive, i was actually preparing to sell it, if i can't figure the problem, i guess i will have to drop my price substantially.

Info in case you are wondering

96 KA-T, built engine, stock tranny centerforce 4puck custom clutch, stock driveshaft, rear, etc.
