How does this happen? The car has not been tracked. I've done minimal spirited driving on the streets? Any ideas? Is this a problem for the 370Z?

Does it get better or worse the harder you brake? If it gets better the harder you brake then you may have an air pocket in one of the front calipers. Try bleeding the brakes front and rear and see if it improves. This relates to Sport and Nismo only (fixed calipers).
