Clutch is too soft
 
My nismo just had for 5month , and the clutch is not hard as first time I bought it , don't feel good when I press the clutch . Do you make it hard when you have the issued ? I let dealer check it they said I do not have to fix it . It will be side again If they fix it . is that true ? Or they just don't want to fix it

Do you have a new or used Nismo? I would have guessed you have an automatic from the "a7" in your Drives: statement.

Check the clutch fluid. The CSC is prone to failure as well. Although I wouldn't expect those problems to arise after 5 months (I assume you're well under 10K miles if it's new). People also like to remove the clutch helper spring (or replace it with lighter one) in the clutch pedal assembly. You can find lots of information about all of these subjects using the forum search feature :tiphat:

That's what I thought. But a guy here in HI bought a brand new Nizmo with an auto, yes I saw it when he was picking it up. According to my salesperson, he ordered a base and had Nissan in Japan, replace body parts and who knows what else, to make it look exactly like a Nizmo Salesman said he paid over $60K for it.

The OP has a manual. Let the dealer handle it. If bleeding the clutch with the new spec fluid doesn't fix it, it's likely the CSC.

Wouldn't it make more sense to buy a Nismo and replace the transmission. Rather then replacing all the body panels, suspension, wheels, etc.

No, as the electronics will make it a royal PITA to go from M6 to 7AT.
