Hanging RPM's
 
I do not think mine hangs longer than any other stock G37 MT, but I find myself waiting for the rpm's to drop before letting the clutch out on my up-shifts. Anything that can make the RPM's drop quicker when I push in the clutch? Is this a flywheel weight/clutch issue? Sorry I don't know too much about what I am getting myself into, but it would be nice if the car's rpms dropped quicker when in neutral.

Thanks for the insight.

lighter flywheel, but it gets harder to drive

why is this an issue?

Suppose it is not a big deal. I have the new clutch pedal coming soon, so I am hoping that fixes some of my issues.

Turn the ac on; rpms will drop faster.

Chris, why harder to drive? I'd think it'd just be a matter of doing things quicker, no?

The flywheel is heavy for a reason, to keep momentum up to prevent stalling. Also helps keep driving smooth

My experiences are with 4cyl race engines, but I'd imagine it's the same concept for a larger engine that's in a lower state of tune.

Right, I'm well familiar with this characteristic. Very prevalent on motorcycles (talk about quick revving). I think I'd actually welcome a quicker spinup/down in this car. Often times have to consciously wait when shifting for the revs to drop to a more appropriate level for the next gear.
