Drop into 1st, start to drive and it isn't pulling even 1/6th of what she can do. RPM's slow to climb. Getting up a hill is very slow. It doesn't matter what RPM I'm at, it seems the comp is holding it back, almost like it's in a "safe mode". After driving for a bit, engine temp's at 160-180. Usually sits at 200-220.

This happens every once in a while... Maybe once a month...

I've taken the z into the local Nissan, but they said it didn't throw any errors when they ran it. They updated the software, but it seems like the problem is coming back.

If anyone has any ideas let me know!
When was the last time you pulled the codes? I would run it and check for myself if any codes were recorded. Seems weird that it would go into a semi limp mode but not post a code.
