Dil, the diagram from the service manual sucks, but if you jack up the driver side high enough, you can get on a creeper and slide in from the front. The bleeder is on the driver side of the trans, right where the clutch fluid tube is attached. Get a 3/8" tube to bleed. if you get a 5/16" tube, you have to heat it up to get it around the bleeder.

Well after trying to help Dil, we found that there was no air in the system. We bleed the system several time, and the clutch pedal still would not come off the floor. We will be installing a new slave cylinder when it arrives.

That is horse$hit.
He spent all that time and money and needs a new slave cylinder
I would be so pissed off...
Eric, you should come out to a meet. We live pretty closewe can caravan.
Pretty much most of the basic stuff that can be done we have it done or done it on the 350Z at this point. Dil, Sean and Billy are the Twin turbo guys.
Very knowledgable group, and this site is a great tool.
Anyone up for a Cruise tonight?
There is going to be aTON of cars on woodward tonight.
Craig-your car looks great. Sorry we couldn't stick around I had that thing to go too..

I would love to go - only, my SS is sold and I'm delivering it either Monday or Tuesday. With my luck someone would hit me right before I deliver the car, so I'm gonna have to play it safe.

Shiawase - Welcome to the club, hope to see you around. We are going to have some nice meets for you to meet up with everyone. The xceedspeed BBQ as well as the drag strip rental.
I am definatly in for a woodward cruise tonight. AJ give me a call and let me know what time.
Yes, he spent a lot of money, but personally the slave cylinder going bad is not because of FP. If there was air in the system I would have said thats BS. The car was driving when he got it off the truck, but the clutch and gears took some abuse coming of the trailer. Sharif is sending him a new one, and hopefully we will have it installed next weekend.

I don't know how long you guys tried, but I drained and refilled my clutch fluid yesterday, and it took a LONG time before I got pressure back in the clutch pedal. When you're bleeding the clutch, it WILL NOT come back off the floor by itself -- you have to pull it up every time. I had to bleed mine... probably about 25 or more times before it was good.

Its probably the slave cylinder, and if not, then I would say its the throwout bearing. Im sure he bled it correctly, and if not we can do it again before we try the slave cyliner.
EDIT:
Billy your car looks awsome. I love that thing.
AJ - Your HR motor is a monster, you will be easy 13's. Still dont like the hood.
