Can anyone help me figure out whats going on with my clutch?

I have a 2005 35th anniversary manual transmission Z with about 75,000 miles on it. When I engaged the clutch to start the car it made this awful grinding noise almost as if I was grinding the starter but when I let off the clutch the noise stopped. When I engaged the clutch again the grinding noise came back and I noticed that my battery voltage shot up also. So I turned my car off, turned in back on and the noise went away. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here? I researched this online and I think I may be having issue with the clutch throwout bearing. Just thought I would ask if anyone else has had this issue with their Z.

Thanks

Hey,

I have an 08 350z and I feel like have the same issue. When my foot is on the clutch and the clutch is pushed down there is no noise at all however when I let off the clutch you can here a rattling noise like something is rubbing or grinding. It is not horribly loud but it is a concern. The car only has 17,000 miles on it and when i take it to nissan they say that it is a normal noise to be coming from the Z however i feel like they are trying to screw me over since my warranty runs out in november. Have you every heard of this problem or have any advice?

sounds like throw out bearings is fried, lets hope the pressure plate is not damaged
