Message Came out and car wouldn't turn over, so obviously didn't start. I banged on starter, still nothing. Checked battery - all good. Replaced starter, still nothing.

Put my head under the steering column, looked around, and noticed the little "switch" had snapped under the clutch pedal. This switch gets pushed in when you press the clutch, telling the car it's safe to start.
I used a little screwdriver until the part arrived from Nissan. Had to push the screwdriver in while trying to start the car. Some guys keep this switch 'in' with tape, etc. so they don't have to push the clutch pedal to start their car.

It was ~$20, easy to change, and made me feel stupid and hero-like at the same time :)
