Restart the car and the starter grinding should have stopped and the engine should start.

Mine did that after a JWT clutch/flywheel install and making sure the pedal is completely down on the floor before engaging the starter is the quick solution. The best solution is to readjust the clutch master cylinder stroke. Mine was out from factory spec and it was just another finely completed job from a Nissan master mechanic that needed to be corrected.
THANKS!!
