I also had an G35 6MT which was also laggy and even harder to drive smooth than the IS300. I’ve been impressed with the DBW on the FRS but I agree it’s still there a tad. For me the most annoying thing is the FRS throttle response is inconsistent. Sometimes you do a blip and it's as if it completely ignores you. Other times it's perfectly fine. It's extremely bad for the first 200 miles after an ECU reset. I think people have forgotten what a cable throttle was like. The easiest combination would be a car with mechanical throttle, hydraulic clutch and engine with lots of low end torque.

Yep... experience this as well...
Also wanted to add there is DBW delay when taking your foot off the throttle. So if you hit the clutch right after releasing the gas, the revs will hang at that RPM for a little longer or may even jump up. You need to make a conscious effort to wait a split second before hitting the clutch
