This seems to be the same issue as this one:
http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...n-catches.html

I experienced this for quite some time. I initially took the car to my dealer. They (surprise surprise) couldn't replicate the issue, but did a start re-learn anyway. It seemed to go away for a couple of weeks before returning.
I then started to take note of the specific conditions that it occurs under. It seemed to only occur on a hot start (not the first start of the day), on a warm day (25deg c +), after the car had been allowed to heat soak for a while.
Because of this I got the feeling that it was airflow issue. I have a K&N typhoon intake so I cleaned the air filters (properly with the K&N filter cleaner kit) & MAF sensors (with CRC MAF cleaner) and it seems to have gone away for now. I'm getting an ECUTek tune in a couple of weeks, so we'll see what happens after that too.
