Had this problem before. Bleed the slave cylinder and check it out.

Replace the autozone slave with OEM nissan slave. Many guys that I know have this problem because they either don't know how to bleed a hydraulic line, or buy POS aftermarket parts.

Best way to bleed the slave cyl in your situation is to pop open the nipple, and have someone keeping the fluid topped off in the engine bay. After a minute, close it up. Any air would have come out with the fluid. Done.

I'll assume your friend installed the TOB properly with tons of grease inside the sleave. If the master cyl blows out, or is having any problems, your carpet inside the car would be soaked.

So.

Replace slave cylinder with OEM Nissan one. For $40 dollars, you won't have to touch it for years. 1 out of 3 aftermarket slave cylinders last more than 6 months.
