Clutch problems

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with a friends 240z I'm helping him work on. WHen I press the clutch in it goes in pretty easy and it's not working like it should. A mechanic friend said it probably needs a new master cylinder. I replaced that and it's still not working. Not sure if I just need to bleed the lines good? need to work on the slave? or if it's something worse.

Thanks for any help...you guys ROCK...

could be the slave, could be the rubber hose that connects them, could be the pressure plate, could be something else mechanical. bleed the lines again. what fluid are you using? are there any leaks?

Have you checked the slave cylinder? This usualy fails before the master.
