Depends on the situation.

Daily driving, maybe around 3000-3500.

Fun driving, 6-7k

Downshifting on the highway to pass with style (I don't know, but it's f*cking fun).

To reach supersaiyan, I recommend shifting at OVER 9000!

Most Gears (1st-5th) I shift at 3000-3500 unless the car is not fully warmed up then I might do 2500-3000. I usually shift into 6th at a bit under 3000 sometimes if I am not accelerating on the freeway.

If I am driving for 'fun' or aggressively (passing, or what not) then I will not shift until 6700-6900 RPM. I think the revlimiter kicks in at 7500 on the 370z? Ive only hit it once and not really intentional. This jerk wasnt going when the light turned green after a bunch of people already went. After checking it was clear in the other lane I hit the rev limiter in first as I barely made the light and passed him after I cleared the intersection.

I totally would have missed the light (or ran it if I didn't stop) if I had not gone to pass him.
