I asked my Z friends what it was and they told me it was my CSC since Z's are notoriously known to have it fail. What is crazy though is that the day right before my Z was working perfectly fine.

But here's an update. On my way home from work this afternoon I decided to stop by a different Nissan dealership. I explained to them what had happened to my Z and showed them pictures of my clutch disk and pressure plate. The SA and one of the technicians (mechanics) asked me how many miles I had on the car. I replied 23k and they told me not to worry about it and that they would take care of it under warranty. I explained to them I had already taken it to my dealership and that they had already reported it to Nissans Consumer Affairs. And that they denied it. The guys there looked at me and told me that my dealership had screwed me over and that Nissan goes based off whatever the dealership tells them (decides). They told me to ask them if they could at least just cover the CSC and labor so I wouldn't have to pay, and then to take it over to them and they would do the rest under warranty. Long story short, go to severel different dealers let them know what the problem is, let them know it's a CSC failure and go with the one that tells you they WILL cover it under warranty without giving you the "it might be covered under warranty" speech. Hopefully my dealer will cover the CSC under warranty!
