Default Weird 4th gear high RPM on 350z

Ok, so i'm cruising along in 2nd gear, then as I shift to 3rd the rpm's decrease. Then all of a sudden, I shift to 4th gear and the RPM jumps to around 4-5k. This isn't normal because it has never happened like this. Can someone explain why this is happening?
