Had the car in the garage this week getting some front bushes fitted (original Nissan) and getting the rear end checked out as it's like driving on marbles sometimes. Anyway they've had a look and say the ball joints on the HICAS have to much play in them and also the shocks could do with changing and to be honest I'm not suprised as I thought this was my problem.

As you push down on the clutch pedal the first 3-4 inches does absolutley nothing then you push down from about halfway to the floor you can feel resistance but its hardly enough to be able to select a gear!
