No, the factory fill is not Nissan ester oil - Nissan recommends that dealers change a 370Z's fill to the ester oil if there is excessive drive train noise. Last time I was at my dealer (a few months ago), that was still the case according to them (they said that the factory fill is still a regular 5W30 non-ester oil).

Okay. I talked to my friend who recently sold his 370Z and he said the same thing. That it comes with regular 5W30 and that you have to ask for the Ester oil if you want it.
