Anyone know what type of bolt this is?

Not sure if anyone's interested in an update but here's an update.

I ended up taking it into a nearby Nissan service center at this point to see what the root cause of all this is. I took it in, and spoke to my guy and told him about how I already bought a new safety clutch switch and I just need to have it installed. He pulled one of the tech and the dude literally swapped it out in the parking lot... LOL AT THIS POINT I ALMOST **** MY PANTS... HE DID IT SO EASILY LMAO...

However, that wasn't the issue. And at this point, they had to run diagnostics to figure out what's really wrong with the car. Well the issue wasn't as simple. First off, apparently, my battery was only at 8V... which was bit shocking but had that replaced.

However the car still wouldn't start. At this point he calls me back and states that my engine is dead... I WAS LIKE WTF? lol And then few minutes later he video calls me with his tech to show me whats going on. And the the issue was that something was messed up with my pulley or jammed or something... As in he could not rotate the pulley at all, it was like stuck. He had a wrench and he literally could not turn it at all (it was like jammed or stuck). However he was able to rotate the pulley counter clockwise but not clockwise. And few minutes later he states that they were able to get the car started but they're not able to figure out the root cause. Tech was talking about how I have an aftermarket clutch and something could have went wrong. And I do, and not only that I have stage3 clutch along with a z1 csc elimination kit installed as well.

So at this point my car is up and running and they think what really happened is something (as in broken parts or nuts/bolts) broke off and got stuck inside the engine not allowing the engine to crack at all. Due to my parts being aftermarkets, they couldn't do much. It was either that or put everything back to oem LOL (which would cost insanely a lot). So at this point, the tech states that the car starts but doesn't know when or if this will happen again lol. Tech states that everything was running fine but the engine just wouldn't crank due to something being stuck or jammed.

Here's what I think happened... The night that my car stopped turning on, I was driving and had my 2nd gear to about 5-6k rpm and while pressing the clutch, I did hear an odd noise almost as if something snapped or broke off. And after that the car would not start. That was the reason why I thought the root cause was switch at first. But I think something from my clutch or csc elimination kit broke off and jammed somewhere...

So what I'm going to do is go to the guys that installed my clutch and csc elimination kit and see if anything looks out of the ordinary and go from there...

I hope this information is useful to someone and hope that nothing like this ever happens to anyone!
