My friend rest assure there is NOTHING wrong... its due to the dual plated clutch... (owned a 350Z since 2002 TRUST ME)
Just to prove my theory Shut your car off without pushing in the clutch, it will sound like marbles in a jar...
Then try shutting the car off with the clutch engaged... PRESTO NO noise
When you compress the clutch the plates dont bash together.
This is like the 50th Post i have cleared the owners concerns after running the above test.... AGAIN SLEEP WELL NO WORRIES ITS TOTALLY 100% normal!!
