Default Clutch Pedal Problems, CSC ?

Alright guys, I've had my Nismo for a month now, just hit the 1,000 mile marker.

Yesterday I noticed something weird about the feel in the clutch pedal, Like it got "softer", most noticeably when starting from a stop to 1st gear, the car kinda just pops into engagement, like an on off switch.

I pretty much can't "feel" it engaging normally which causes the car to sort of studder, every other gear seems fine, the pedal isn't sticking but it feels almost to slow when its coming back up into 1st gear, which is why I'm sort of confused on what it could be.

I made an appointment with Nissan, but they won't be able to look at the car until Monday.

Could this be an early sign of CSC trouble?

Also noticed there is sort of a bearing rotating whine kind of sound when im under 2000 rpms in 1st-3rd. Anyone else experience this?

Could be boiling the clutch fluid. Try replacing it with rbf600.

the noise is normal, but the clutch being slow im not sure. with so few miles i doubt anything is wrong though. my clutch feels almost like what you are describing in first gear, but i have 65k miles.
