Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Engine revving unnecessarily high/ S-mode malfunction

Lately, I've noticed whenever I accelerate hard, not necessarily flooring it but harder than usual, my RPM briefly spikes wildly before dropping and settling where it should be. When this happens in fifth or sixth gear it causes the S-mode to shut off and a message reading "Warning S-mode" appears on the dash. The S-mode will not turn back on until I shut off the engine and wait about five minutes before restarting it. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Or does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Thanks
