Double clutching is exactly what the name implies: You depress and release the clutch pedal TWICE! Not once, as your description implied. What you described is commonly known as "Rev-matching" or "heel-and-toe" when done while braking.
Double clutching should not be performed on a G35 or any other modern car with a synchromesh gearbox. Rev-matching, on the other hand, helps to provide smooth shifts and works well with synchromesh gearboxes.

I think the clearest answer was theres no need for it, but can it improve your speed? people mention it like do you know how to do it, because if you do, you can keep up with cars you usually cant with ya know? thats what im confused on so basically thers no purpose of it? is that what you guys are trying to imply?

thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard, how can pushing a clutch in twice make your car any faster than you already flooring it. Besides don't you think youd actually be SLOWER because you have to push the pedal in twice instead of once?

Double clutching will definitely not make your car accelerate faster... in fact it will make it slower because it is essentially like taking an extra second or half a second between shifts(During these mid-shifts, you are not accelerating at all).
I don't really double clutch in my G35 on upshifts at all, but I do in my Tacoma because it seems to go into gear easier. Possibly my syncrhos are worn on the truck... I'm not sure, but I definitely find benefit to doing it in some vehicles, not including our G's.

No, No, NO...That's not double clutching!
Im sorry, but all of you are wrong about double clutching...
Double clutching is a method used for racing (usually with slower cars) It has nothing to actually do with shifting!!...
Let's say your in 3rd gear around 3500rpm's...now you floor it... the rev's start picking up (obviously) 4000...4500...5000...and so on till redline...well if your in a bit of a slower car (i.e. LS integra, ex civic) your revs will only slowly pick up when your in later gears like 4th or 5th, unlike 2nd and 3rd that just pull through quickly...
So lets say your in 4th gear and punch it at 3500rpms this time...as your rev's are coming up (slowly however, were not in a G35) there taking forever, there just slowly hanging around 5k let's say (because were in this slow 4th gear of this LS integra) ...well you would then just blip the clutch real quick to cause the rev's to jump a bit higher...and then let off real quick (its just a real quick tap of the clutch..on/off and brings the revs up for a spilt second) soon as you come off the clutch the rev's will start to engage back to where they should be in the present gear and kinda act's like an extra launch technique some people use when racing from a roll... Some think it gives your car that little extra umpff and helps your car get to that redline quicker...However this will also help burn out a stock clutch real quick.
And does not need to be used in a G35 or any car that is some what already "quick"...If you do so in a fast car, you will just be slowing yourself down cause your wasting time engaging the clutch when the car could just be pulling in gear.

black bird ur making urself like an idiot when your wrong, ive been in a car with someone actualy pressing the clutch again for no longer then .1 of a second and gained a lil extra push. as binpimpin said it affects some cars for the benifit but not neccasarily the g35, but i think it helps the g35 or at least it feels like it.
