page 5-19 (starting and driving) of the 370z manual says:
"for normal acceleration in low altitude areas (less than 4,000 ft):
gear change: 5th to 6th @ 33 mph.

i would change it to 6th gear @ 40 mph but i don't normally use 5th gear.
I would go 1-2-3-6.

6th gear @ 40 mph produces 1500 rpm, which is same rpm that my automatic mercedes runs at when traveling at same speed.
