Update, went to the dealership East Charlotte Nissan. The technician there was very helpful (he has owned several S13s and Z33s himself), this if the first case like this they have seen. The clutch system is warrantied for 12,000 mi or something so they can't do anything right now (I understand a limited warranty on the clutch) but I've contacted Nissan North America regarding the case as this is the actual bracket that failed and poses a safety hazard. Case number 159-527-67. On a related note, they have had 5 slave cylinder failures over the past few months.

While the 370Z has its share of problems (eg, CSC, oil consumption), bad pedals doesn't seem to be one of them. Some people don't like the feel but not many failures have been reported (this is the first I've noticed on this site). You just got the random bad part that crops up every now and then on any car. Get it fixed and have fun. Good luck with Nissan. If the dealer you are using now gives you any problems about it being under warranty, try another dealer.

I'm pretty much in agreement here!
