clutch got too smooth...
It's kinda hard to explain, but it feels like the clutch is not engage strong enough.
after an aggressive driving, shifting goes too smooth even i release the clutch a bit faster than i used to drive.
it doesn't seem normal but i can't tell exactly what is problem.
anyone have an idea??

same problem with my 08 (3600 miles) After a few hard runs on the highway the clutch will feel real sloppy and not crisp like it usualy does. I noticed when it gets like this i will end up riding out the clutch from stops like i just started driving stick that day. But once it cools off its fine again?

I am positive i am not riding the clutch
! It only happens after I drive it hard for a decent amount of time. Its not only my 8th manual car ive owned but I also drift/performance drive my 240sx with no effects like this at all. It is honestly a night and day feeling in the clutch pedal itself when it happens

Wargoah... I could barely understand what you were saying...
However, I think I know what you are refereing to.
The same thing happened to my 2008. I just got about 6000 Miles on it and it does the same ****... This is happening because the clutch is just breaking-in or wearing a little bit. I don't think it's something to be alarmed about though. I know what you are experiencing.
Example:
Before when you used to shift into like second or third, on the way out at the very top of the clutch pedal (it didn't matter how smooth you tried to let it go) the clutch engaged very roughly... Almost like a "Pulling" feeling all over the car. like it was engaging pretty hard. Now it seems like the clutch is just going out smoothly and not so rough during shifts, causing it to feel a little bit "Slower" or not as aggressive.
I believe that this can be considered a "break in period" for the clutch. I'm sure you were probably one of those fine gentlemen who used to rev the living **** out of the car when you first got it to about 2000-3000 RPM just to get the car to move due to the abnormal clutch "Catch Point" that plagues the 350Z and 370Z which could have contributed to this feeling happening a bit sooner, but I would say nothing out of the ordinary. I guess now the only down side is that you won't get to see your girls ***** bounce up into her chin every time you shift gears... What a damn shame...
Anyway...
In my opinion, it is more than likely totally normal.

I can tell is wearing down but I guess I'll hit 40K mark or maybe even 45K.
i have had the same issues aswell. i mean i guess its an issue lol. when ever i run it hard or anything like that it just seems to soft. like i can just tap it into gear. when its cooled down though it seems normal.
