My G35S is just past its 2K miles. Does anyone notice the 'zing' sound as you work the clutch, let's say anything above 4K rpm? Is it just my footwork that's a bit off on the timing? Did I not find the sweet spot yet?

If its not affecting drivability, id say its normal. G's make an assortment of noises/sounds, most claimed by the Stealership to be "Normal".

Well, this is the ONLY area I'm not happy with. Everything to do with the clutch and tranny sounds are just too coarse. Can't get it more smoother and quieter. Even my seven yr old Max SE has quieter clutch operation.
Next step will be switch to synthetic fluid in the 6MT.

Need more inputs on how to quiet the clutch and tranny. Too whiny, but anything I could do? Would syn fluid help? I'm at just over 2K miles.
