any ideas on whats not functioning correctly?
No fluids leaking (clutch related away lol)
From my understanding on hydraulic systems, this, technically, is not possible is it?
nobody i know has a clue whats wrong with it
I am totally lost.
Help?

You rather have air in the line, or the pin that got to the pedal itself is not adjusted properly. That same thing happened to mine and my buddies car and a very thorough bleed (if you still have the dampener) and pin adjustment fixed it.

After bleeding it myself and after I took it to a nissan dealership to have the clutch bled i am pretty sure there is not any air in the lines. (shoulda said that)
although, I have adjusted my screw behind the pedal before this happened. and before this happened it was not sticking to the floor,
the reason i adjusted it was because the clutch was slipping and the grab point was to high and i tried to make it lower, and i think i may have made it to low and it may have broke something :facepalm:
it is driveable with the condition it is in, and i have been driving it for nearly 14K+ miles but i am tired of it and other people not being able to drive my car. nissan said it 'Might' be the slave cylinder but i dont wanna spend the money if i dont have to yanno?
so if there is for sure, no air in the lines what way did you guys adjust the pedal in order to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!

i would replace both the master and slave as they are cheep but the likely culprit is the master as the slave has no where for the fluid to run when it passes the gasket other than on the ground. the master can have a leak past the plunger that will cause this problem.... its not that strange..just strange enough
