Edit: They have crash tested the G37, from what I was told second hand. They are still all on the FM platform, including Z33, Z34.
A little research reveals that most vehicles that are crash tested meet minimum sales figures. The 370Z is such a low volume vehicle that it was not performed.

Why does the 370 not have any safety ratings?

Some Models Are Not Rated

If the model you seek is missing crash-test results, they may be pending or the vehicle may not be tested. Both agencies concentrate on the "highest-volume vehicles". Convertibles are rarely tested for this reason, though for the first time in 2007 IIHS tested 10 models, including several best-sellers like the Chrysler Sebring and Ford Mustang. Results for new or recently reengineered models are likely to appear months after the car goes on sale because both agencies purchase their test subjects from dealerships. NHTSA notes if a vehicle is TBT (to be tested) or if results are pending or under review. IIHS has begun to offer more detailed information about whether or not test results are pending.
