Anything is possible. I suppose it could be a faulty unit but my suspicion would be that the pressure plate is just to much for the stock cylinder and or the consentric unit.

At least one owner got in a bad accident because of the pedal sinking to the floor.

I'm surprised this issue exists with the 370Z.
To be clear, I never experienced any loss of pressure prior to the fluid dumping and my clutch pedal heading south never to return. Everything was in fine operating order until this happened.
