This is actually just the stock clutch doing that, It's called "reversing" At high rpm the clutch fingers are trying to stay in the forward position just from the rotational force being applied to them at high rpm. One reason I hate the stock clutch.

Makes sense to me, thanks for the explanation. One of your clutches will be going in the car when the time comes, most likely the "EZ street quiet clutch" and the CMAK v2.

I have a 2015 nismo with 26k on it. I baby this thing and today I'm getting in it and push the clutch to the floor to start it and it snaps to the floor! Won't return on its own. I have to manually move it back to the top. I push it in again and it snaps back to the floor and stays there.

You have to expect certain repairs will be needed for such an old high-mileage car.

Has anyone installed this metal CSC from ebay?

Winter is coming and I will be doing upgrades and repairs, might as well beef up CSC while at it.
