Put 93 in whenever you can. I have to settle for 91.
The oil pressure gauge should go up when you put more "pressure" on the engine, and when you let out the clutch in neutral it sounds like a can of rocks being rattled around?
Nope, never heard of either of those issues.
Just kidding. Both are normal.
Search and learn youngling. the internetz are yours for the taking.

Congrats on the excellent choice of purchase!
It's hard to come up with a question that has not been answered 2 dozen times on this site. One of the best car forums out there.
TIP: Sometimes using google.com and including "my350z" in your search provides results that are easier to sift through.

Here's a link for you

Stock clutch is noisy and gets worse with lighter weight flywheels and aftermarket clutches. These are really the only big issues with the car. If you want to get fancy they make an aftermarket pedal assembly that makes shifting much smoother and would improve the overall drive-ability of the car as well.

The HR model Zs aren't cheap to modify but they're low maintenance and a blast to drive once a few factory kinks are worked out!

The transmissions on the Z33's always sound weird but it's normal. It pissed me off hearing it when I first got my Z last year but I got used to it. Also these cars are designed pretty good, are built to last up to 200,000 miles and can even handle getting cheap fuel once in the blue without any issues. Also very reliable and inexpensive unlike some of it's American and European counterparts if you treat her well. Just get 93 fuel octane, keep tires inflated correctly and keep up with other regular maintenance and it will last a long time.
