2 noises I've noticed

[kfull]

One noise is when I push down the clutch.. There is a "fluttering" or "rattling" noise. It's not super loud but I hear it when I'm traveling slower in 1st or 2nd gear probably due to less cabin noise. It basically "rattles" a few times as I press down the clutch then stops when the clutch is down to the floor. Is it just the sound of nissans clunky clutch or something I should worry about?.......never mind, after reading a bit it sounds like its the flywheel. Does everyone hear this in their manual z's?

The other noise is a faint low-toned "moan" almost, or like a metal bending type of noise( I don't think metal is actually bending just how it sounds). I hear it only when I am in first or 2nd gear going literally 1 mph. Just coasting without a foot on either the gas, break or clutch. Once I accelerate a bit it goes away. Normal noise or no?

I would have to say no, this is not normal.
I would take it to the dealer and take a tech along for a ride.

Normal... 1st sound is the clutch chatter and the 2nd is your brakes under low speed...

Occasionally clutch chatter... but no metal bending noises... that's not good.

"metal bending" is the term i used for lack of a better description...its more like a low toned noise..only noticeable if i turn off the radio and really listen
