Had issues getting the clutch to engage before I left for Thailand...I was leaving soon so didnt have much time to check it out...I had started to have issues getting in 1st or Reverse from neutral, then heard a snap and no more clutch engagement. Wasnt sure if it was the Pivot Ball or the pedal bracket. Well since I was leaving I didnt really have time to get in and mess with it. Before I left I bought a new HKS Pivot Ball, Throw out bearing set, and a Nismo Clutch pedal bracket just incase. I got back last night and checked it out thoroughly today in the daylight, turns out it was the bracket. It appears that it had broken a bit which was causing the issues of not being able to get into gear smoothly....the plunger to the Master Cylinder wasnt going in straight since the bracket was bending at a break...when it finally went, it went hard..totally snapped in 4 places which is why I couldn't get the clutch to engage anymore. Here you can see the 2 brackets side by side for comparison....the difference I see is extra welds right where it snapped on the Nismo one.
...shit is fixed and I am back on the road...here are some pics:
