Might remove the helper spring but it's just me being an amateur and releasing a bit too quickly causing some jerky/clunking. It's definitely better now and my leg muscles are developing!
Oh I checked my fluid levels and colours... only thing getting darker is the oil. I'm at 5000km tho and a little bit of oil has been burned. Still about | | far from where it originally started and plenty of oil above the L. I still have a quart JUST in case.

there are 2 big issues on the 370Z that makes it hard to get a smooth shift early on. the clutch feel (return spring too stiff making it hard to feel when the clutch makes contact), and the throttle latency due to dbw.
my G and dd both have better clutch feel and throttle response so it made driving my Z feel kinda odd the first few miles until i got re-familiar with the Z's characteristics ever weekend.
so i swapped out the clutch spring which made a 50% improvement, and the latter 50% just got a sprintbooster to rid the latency. car feels as good as my G35C which is very good.
my G never had a latency issue.. throttle input was instantaneous, clutch feels more like the old traditional clutch.
about the csc.... i think if you're easy on the clutch pedal input you're going to be fine. same issue on the G35/350Z.... mine is fine. 10yrs original owner.
some folks just ram the clutch pedal like no tomorrow and that's too much instant pressure on the little cylinder.
