They tried to make the 370z have a racing shift point (engagement/disengagement), where people adjust their clutches engagement/disengagement) at the top of pedal height. However, normal day to day driving, the clutch engagement/disengagement is usually half way from pedal height (at rest) and the floor.

Wish I learned on a 370Z (Financially). Anyhow, it is all about coordination and balance between your left foot and right foot, you have to find the right balance of gas pedal pressure when you are "feeling the clutch engaging point. It takes practice, and like everyone else says, you picked the wrong clutch system to learn on.

Forgot to mention, speed will come with time as far as shifting. The smoother the shift the better. It is better to use your clutch than rock your motor/tranny mounts. Either one is a pain in the butt to replace, but at least with learning how to shift smooth, you'll learn the right way and fastest way of shifting.
