370z Fail Safe Mod - MAF error? - Help!

My car has been recently having issues where it will go into fail safe mode, dropping the RPM's low and limiting the acceleration. The codes were relating the problem to a faulty MAF sensor and originally I had thought it was due to my K&N drop in filters. I took those out, replaced both MAF sensors, and even had the main control unit recoded during service. The problem went away for a couple of weeks, but it is back again. It tends to happen more frequently right in the morning on a cold start. As I exit my apartment complex, and switch from 1st gear to 2nd, the car just ***** itself and goes into fail safe mode. I have to pull the car to the side, turn the car off, and then turn it back on after 10-15 seconds until the problem goes away... However, it seems to be happening more and more frequently. It has happened every morning this week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday).

I went to Nissan to pull the codes again and I got the following:

DTC REsults

Code: 2096 [P2096]
TIME: 9

Code: 2098 [P2098]
TIME: 0

Code: (TBD)AF B2 [P010B]
TIME: 1t

The first two codes (2096 and 2098) should be catalytic converter codes (I took my cats out over a year ago) so I don't think this could affect it because it never did in the past couple years that I've had this car

The last code (P010B) seems to be the MAF sensor again.. however as I mentioned before.. i already had the MAF sensors replaced.. so I believe there is something else that is affecting the MAF causing this issue.

If anyone has any idea please let me know

Nissan told me they would need to hold onto my car for a few days to try and diagnose the problem further at this point.. however they won't give me a rental in return because i voided my "warranty" which is BS..

the only mods i have is changed exhaust.. no engine mods. only exterior mods & exhaust/test pipes.

let me know!

Thank you
