try checking/replacing clutch fluid?

I used to have that problem on my 2004 Maxima and my 2008 Corvette.

Check the clutch fluid. You will likely find that it is black or dark in color. It should be clear to amber in color. Do a complete flush of the clutch fluid and you should be good to go.

i believe people were saying this is CSC failure too?

I would bleed you clutch fluid first. If you are experiencing the same problem it's probably your clutch slave cylinder that needs to be replaced.

pick up the Z1 SS clutch line, pick up some Motul fluid. Had this hapen to some people i know and after a fluid / line switch it never returned.

my 06 G35 did this exact same thing. it seems to be fairly common. I do not know what the fix was. I remember on mine it was only on hot days. once it cooled down I had no issue...
