Fast forward a couple of months later and due to construction in my area I was driving in stop and go traffic for long periods of time. It got tiring quick.
I put it back to stock out of frustration but I was pleasantly surprise to see that I was able to drive it smoother now than before with the spring in.

. I almost put the pedal through the floor the first few times when test driving. Even after my car arrived, I was still unsure of the engagement point. After reading about removing the assist spring, I tried it, and was in heaven. The feel was very similar to my last car now. The only problem was the extra slop/play in the pedal when at the top. Installing the weaker spring solved that. It's been that way for over 4 months now.
A friend who's interested in a G 6mt asked me to go with to test drive several cars last week. When I drove the car around the area, again I had issues feeling the engagement point. It felt just like my car did before the mod. This was a 2010 coupe. Granted, mine is a sedan, but I do believe the driveline is practically identical between the two. Ymmv

I think it boils down to what you were used to driving before. If you're used to driving a car with a light clutch, adapting to the stock setup on the g/z is much easier. If your last car had a heavier clutch, the transition is tough.

Can you describe the issue with our clutch? Mine feels fine? What is the issue I should be experiencing?

@Rochester, the day I brought the car home (brand new car), I tried springless. It was great, but the slop at the top bothered me.
@Zack342, if you're happy with the clutch, then leave it as is.

What? No, there's no comparison. I drove my 2003 Maxima 6MT for almost 10 years, and the clutch is stupidly soft. Almost non-existent compared to the G.
