that's pretty normal. i usually double or triple clutch into reverse and if that doesn't work i let the car roll a few inches forward in 1st, then shift into reverse. just dont force it. another way is to park the car in reverse. then the collar is already lined up when you're ready to back out.
same goes for 1st gear at a stop. sometimes (doesnt matter 370Z or any other MT car) does not go into 1st. so wat i do is while the car is still rolling for the stop, i shift into 1st gate breifly (no need to clutch out), and then into neutral and clutch out while i wait for the light. the collar is lined up so the next time you shift into 1st, it goes in the first try.
a little trick i found along the way.
